The module under the distributor I reapply thermal grease I’m gonna try it and see if that is the problem by not dissipating heat. I’m just not sure how the advance curve works on these distributors
Well that makes sense, because there is no springs according to the diagram in my first post. What controls the advance? It’s a pretty basic system. It’s either the coil underneath at the base of the distributor or to the ignition module itself.
That's interesting.. The video shows me rotating the pick up coil, you can here friction as it rotates. its not free, nor smooth. Its the same as the dizzy currently in my boat. I am not sure hoe the advance mechanism works on this distributor. I was thinking due to the fiction...
Question for you smart guys. I have a 2002 Glastron 5.0GL-B. (305cid) I am having what I understand to be as ignition problems. Per the attached picture, reference item "E" the pick up coil, does not move freely. I may be old school, but I was under the impression that this pickup...
Something you can check, pull the ignition module from the distributor base. There is supposed to be a layer of thermal grease under the module. I have seen where this thermal grease was gone, and caused the module to overheat. May not be the sun total of your issues, but may be a...
Scott, adding a spacer does NOT make the engine run richer, actually opposite. It runs leaner. Because you increase the plenum air volume, you have to increase fuel flow.
Once I went 4% richer according to the Edelbrock manual, my hot-starts ended.
Yes it absolutely helped whenever you increase air volume in the Plenum you have to richin the mixture. The one thing I’ve learned over the years as you can have two identically built motors and they behave completely different. But it took a lot of trial and error. Also boats are...
I run a 1409 on a 305 GL-B and on a 1992 Chap with a 572A 350 VP.
My 2003 305, after adding a 1" phenolic spacer to eliminate heat transfer to the carb, I was lean before the spacer. Now I am back to stock settings with the orange spring, AC pump on leanest setting and she runs great...
I had a similar problem with my 02 VP GL-b. My impeller housing was so wore. Once I installed a new impeller pump housing, my overheat at idle issues went away. I actually replaced the entire impeller assembly, new housing, bearing assy, pulleys, ect.
I know this post is 3 years old. UPDATE: I took my boat out quite a few times since I reported the issue had been resolved, with no issues, well until last weekend. Under moderate, but consistent throttle, it would cough, after sitting at the beach for a couple hours, it once again...
I performed a search function I couldn’t find anything on this topic but I’m sure it’s been covered 1000 times before so forgive me. I have the Delco distributor and the time in shunt. My question is this do I connect the power lead from the timing shot to the battery before I start the...
