The fuel mixer (carburetor) has no butterfly to control air/fuel mixture.
You could consider it wide open all the time and has no effect on
controlling the speed of the motor. The speed is controlled by advancing
or retarding the timing with the "timer". Getting a flywheel that
"advances the timing" would only change the position of the timer
from its normal running position if the motor would run at all
depending how far it would move the timers location for the motor to
start and run. I don’t know if the Quad flywheel timing is the same or
different than what you need. I would try a single knob service Speedster
flywheel if you want to get it running. I don’t know for sure that the timing is
the same so it will work but there are plenty around so I’m sure someone
would let you borrow one to try. Having a water pump may take away from
its performance slightly compared to a service Speedster. I have 2 service
Speedster’s and on a 12" V bottom aluminum boat one will do 18 to 19 and the
other 19 to 20 mph. I really enjoy running them and they are fast enough to
make a good breeze if you know what I mean. This is the slower one but
I have added extra baffles to the exhaust to quiet it down a little.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
