Sandy and thehermit-

I was wrong on the shifter-it has been on the boat. (I was told that that neutral is more in between reverse and neutral when shifting-also the cables were changed in the last year) But it sure does make me wonder about the stall factor when idling and going into gear. I will look for the shift interrupter and try to depress to get a feel for the effect of it. I will be draining the bowls today and looking at the gas in the newer fuel filter and bowls. Gotta love gremlins!

You have to remove the binnie to change the cables. The switch looks like the one in the volvo door jam that turns off the int. lts.

Idle should be 850 +- 50 in neutral. 650 +- 50 in gear. Don`t baby it going into gear. Don`t jam it either. Just a positive firm shift.

You must use champion supression plugs in these puppys or blow p packs. Nothing else.
I think you spec QL 76jc4 @ .0030 gap.

Idle speed is determined by timing.

Which mark is your throttle pick up roller at in neutral, and is it just touching the plate with the 2 marks on it?

There is a detent in neutral on the binnie.

The fast start primer feature will bring the rpms up to 1200 or so when cold and drop back when happy. I push the key in 10 times to juice her up and hold the key in while crankin`. If she stumbles, just push the key in with bumps. They take a little getting used to, but when you learn your motah they aren`t as cranky as some say. 2nd the lync n sync advice. Crucial.

Pull the airbox and have someone run the boat while you look down the throats. Idle and above 4k. Not long above 4k as you lean out the pig without the air box. If you notice different spray patterns, you have clogged jets.

Ken Cook reprints the old factory manuals. Read it until your head explodes.

Rinse and repete,
GFS

Update-
The motor is running well and I did some test regarding the lockout/kill feature. Yes, it starts IN GEAR! and it impossible to even find neutral. Hopefully it is just an adjustment and not a new binnie! The motor dies instantly going into reverse. The proverbial sigh of relief that the motor is not the problem!

Compression is everything in a smoker.

Start at the beginnning.

You have done very well.

Carbs first. Do not lean out.

Then the lync n sync. 2 y`s by a bye, just me.

Cheers,

Your current problem is the shift switch interupter.
