After a stuck tension pully through off my timing, I got the boat running after replacing all the timing gears (old were corroding) and a new tension pully. reset the timing . I adjusted it to 6 degrees by the manual specs. put it in the water and it ran fine until I throttled up, once I started to push forward with the throttle under load, it started to backfire. I pushed all the way and the boat took off with no backfire ran fine, as soon as I stop and try to throttle up again, it backfires (unless I push the throttle to full). Not sure what is causing this. I have checked the timing and it is at 6 degrees at idle with an rpm range of 850-900. My point gap is set at .016. I do not know what dwell is and havent' figured that out. I do have the meter, but not sure how to use the thing or even know if I need to. (In other words, could this be the source of my problem?) If not, I need to move on to what might be. All plugs and wires are good, could the belt have jumped a tooth again?,
