@ pugetsoundboater, thank you for jumping in here ! Good advice on the TDC pencil technique. I wonder if you know another "puget sound boater" the legendary Dr. Frankenmerc ? (Thom Adams) He has helped me out a bunch with parts and technical assistance on my old merc. I am very grateful and fortunate to have fleetwin helping me through this. He has provided many insights so far, without which , I would still be in the dark. I know were gonna get this thing straightened out !
@Fleetwin, your description of the current symptoms is correct. By "idles ok" , I mean it will stay idling with the warm up lever slightly raised. If I let it idle without the warmup lever engaged it will struggle, and usually stall, but not always. I would like to get video footage of each condition to post. However, the weather here doesnt look too good in the near future to take her out again. Im really curious about the adjustments that look off to you. As you stated, the plates now fully close at "idle" and the throttle cam absolutely does not touch the roller in this position. Thanks for the tip on the starter pinion gear. I will lube er up asap. I presume the same lube for the steering shaft will do fine, its BRP brand. I actually leave my batterys disconnected most of the time, until I get to the ramp. Paranoid about it draining slowly, even though I did install a dual battery switch/ charger last season. Thanks again for your time, knowledge and effort here ! It is very sincerely appreciated sir. I will report back when I have more data.
