Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer. Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!
well holy jackpot shit WOO-HOO
If i get some free time tonight at work, ill play with it and post it for everyone to see.
Time to man up and yank it John! Ray
They are all fukin tasty. My long time favorite, "Dirty Dicks -beerjet-
Glasscutter, Skip, OC2 Nordie and many more nail me good every time, relentlessly, I love those guys!
It only pops at idle?yes Any idea where the timing is?if i remember correctly 12 initial and 32 total, but could be mistakenIf I didn't know any better I would say the lifters are pumping up and holding the valves open... :-Thats what I tought too so I readjusted the valves(has 1.7 BBC roller rocker arms) and no change, when I adjusted them, I set them at half turn past zero lash. Too tight??
how did you break in the cam, does it do it on the trailer, has it always done it, how new is the motor? does it do it while on the plane, has the carb and dizzy been on another motor and if so did the other motor do this
It can't load up and be lean.I know thats what has me stumped RunIt under the circumstances where it runs like like crap for a bit, the kill it without moving the throttle. Now pull the plugs.Make timing/fuel changes accordingly.The plugs will tell the story of the final condition under which they've been run. If you're fat at idle and lean at top, making a pass and idlingBack to the ramp, or even keeping it running till you come off plane willnot show you what you're trying tosee. Be damn sure the boat shuts down safely before killing it at WOTgot it, and yes the boat shuts down very solid and safe at WOT lol
Worlds stupidest question........But have to ask.Are you sure the firing order is...well....in order? :-
not to get in this conversation late but have you thought about a lean burn at idle? that would cause popping and go away off idle.
After thinking about this all day....You have an intake leak. Spray some ether starting fluid in the breather of a valve cover while idling...Better yet, an unlit propane torch in the breather...Betting it goes away.
Ill give it a shot. But, if the intake is leaking wouldn't it have the pop all the way through the RPM range, and not just at idle?
The popping is due to a lean AFR. As the RPM increases, the AFR fattens up. Basically because there is little/much less vacuum at a higher RPM than idle. This will "suck harder" on the potentially leaky gasket/broken manifold...Did I mention you should inspect the manifold for cracks?. I guess it could also be a poorly fitting carb base gasket or an open vacuum port....
