    Base Timing Mode

    I have to apologize, I forgot you have a TKS carb. While I'm still not sure why it needs to be in base timing mode (most likely all EPA stuff), I would adjust in in that mode. The TKS does need to be fully warmed up before adjusting idle. Basically until the TKS module extends and extends and...

    Base Timing Mode

    Have no idea other then to take timing out of the equation. There should be no timing advance at idle with a TB if rpms are correct

    1999 Volvo penta 4.3 gl starter issue

    In order for the starter to spin the solenoid has to be pulled in. When the solenoid the starter gear pushes into the flywheel and then power is applied to the starter windings. Either the actuating arm is disconnected or damaged. https://www.howacarworks.com/illustrations/pre-engaged-starter

    Does this oil look bad to you? (white smoke coming out of breather tube)

    Slight overfill should not cause oil burning, If its a head gasket it may start to raise the oil level by water getting into the pan. If oil continues to come up then that's what it is If it is a head gasket then water can get into the cylinders

    Does this oil look bad to you? (white smoke coming out of breather tube)

    The oil looks fine. Oil will never look as good as when it was put in because there is always some old left behind Some condensation isn't bad and mostly normal. More so if it sits for a few days. Might need a compression test to see if there is a gasket issue. Is the motor closed...
