Hi guys
Just back from a week with the boat.
I sorted the idle issue by doing a complete Link and Sync
Got the butterflys completely closed and the cam not touching the roller. She now idles fine not had a tacho on her yet that is for this weekend.
I need to to start another thread regarding her starting. She takes full choke manually turned n the servo before she will start. even then it takes a good few minutes before she ticks over. I suspect its somthing to do with the age of the engine. i have read somewhere that the crankseals are prone to fail after a certain amount of time. So it will be a teardown over the winter and possibly look at tuning the old V4 to try and get her more like the 115HP any thoughts ????
Thanks again for your help
If you want a 115 hp motor go buy one it will be cheaper and easier than trying to get 115 out of an 85 hp block. Or better yet buy one of the mid-80s 110 hp motors
Hi flyingscott
The 115 transformation has been scrapped
Now the old 1980 85 shall be reborn into a 140
Research has been done parts collected just the final bits and pieces to get then we shall begin
I will be detailing the transformation on here stay tuned and hope if i get stuck i can call you guys with all the knowledge
