Great site.<br />I've got a 45 hp chrysler (445HC?) where the timing is completely shot. We played blindly trying to solve a problem of uneasy running and large amounts of excess fuel in the trail. Here in Sweden distance to parts and knowledge on these chryslers is far. I have one on the boat, one in the cellar and two in pieces. I've read back through your site through pages and pages on chrysler/Force and found many ideas I'll be trying.<br />Compression is good. Spark I'll be checking asap. Plesae help me regards the timing/ignition.<br />Am i right in reading that the timing at low turnover should be 30 degrees before TDC?<br />Should the points be set to .015" and the plugs to 0.030"?<br />And please any tips about a rough setting for the timing advance rod.<br />I WILL be ordering a manual.<br />Also. On one motor the timing plate (called stator?) was grounded by a wire to the block(powerhead?) on one engine, but not on the other. What is this significance and how should it be?<br />Our boating season is short enough as it is. Most of the year the lake is either freezing, frozen or thawing.
Any help would be truely appreciated.
