Depends on where you're getting stuck. I've found that the key is to get the drive perfectly parallel to the bellhousing. Drive sits on the ground, lift/lower trailer as necessary. How do you not have a grease zerk on your drive? I can't imagine they put in greaseable bearings without a way to...
Just thinking about this, does anyone know of an aftermarket knock sensor kit? Seems pretty easy to use a stock sensor with a buzzer or something on it...
It would be cool to actually be able to dial in timing and fuel mixture based on something better than feelings.
Blows my mind that people don't do this. I always assume my engine won't start LOL. My neighbor had her boat on the lift (brackish water) all winter. Wanted me to help her pull it. Short story, she didn't even try to start it before hooking up the trailer and heading to the ramp. Just assumed it...
I may hit you up if you know what you're doing...I got a "free" '96 with a 787 that I'm going to try to get running in a few weeks with my kid. "A simple 2 stroke would be the perfect project for us!" said my idiot self before knowing what I was getting into...
Not true. Voltmeters are designed to draw negligible current. Agree that if the voltmeter is faulty then it could be drawing some current and affecting the rest of the circuit. Key on zero volts across it would mean a dead short though. And OP had the voltmeter reading 14+ previously.
Man, I really want to see you get this thing going. I'd love to see what a proper oscilloscope trace looks like. I would think that you need more dwell to charge the capacitor. Was the capacitor itself tested?Also, did you put the scope on the generator coils directly? Red/yellow and...
Find the leak first if possible. Pulling the drive isn't a big deal though, and if your bellows are leaking you'll have a greasy mess that will be obvious when you pull the drive. At a minimum, you should grease your u-joints and coupler and check your alignment. If you don't know when the water...
To make sure that there isn't a short to power on the ground wire causing the high readings.
Done on the positive side it's a voltage drop test. Picks up issues particularly under load that a resistance test will miss (small static resistance that becomes significant with high current passing...
At least it's a pontoon so not sure how much water can get in there, but yeah, still wouldn't want to find out at least until you know where the leak is from
