An easy fix, I dropped my motor trying to lift it onto the transom, it broke the link pin off the distributor to carb linkage. I made a new pin and it's all back together now.
I see three adjustments:
#1 slotted holes on the flat arm
#2 threaded length adjustment carb end
#3 distributor stop screw
Anyone care to give me a quick run down on what to look for in a preliminary baseline check.
The roller that rides on the big cam that operates the throttle plates just barely looses contact at throttle off (plates completely closed)
The roller rides up the cam as throttle is advanced, then drops into a valley on the cam, a sorta dead zone where nothing is happening other than the distributor is advancing, the cam then comes up out of the valley and begins to advance the throttle plates again at which point the distributor is just advancing past the arrow line up marks. Is this what the link-n-sync is all about? or is there more to it. Sorry I realy should get a manual but I'm just tinkering around for the time being trying to understand exactly whats happening and so far it seems pretty staright forward but i'm probably missing something.
