    5.7 omc stalling while shifting

    I’ve done a lot of reading the last few hours. I’ve ordered the correct tool. Everything should be here tomorrow. What I have resdy is to adjust dwell, I hook up dwell reader. Crank the motor and check to see that it is in spec, if not I just make the gap bigger or smaller until the dwell is in...

    5.7 omc stalling while shifting

    Ok perfect! Man you guys are the best… one more thing. How does my prop situation sound. Checked today, at WOT I’m doing 3500 rpm and doing 26mph fully loaded. Had 7 guys, 300 litres of fuel. Around 250 pounds of fish. I’ve read that I should be in the 4200-4600. What props should I test?

    I ordered a swell meter from Amazon. Paid the extra money for a good one. Learned my lesson on cheaping out on tools in my early years…

    Ok so I gapped it right. 0.018” used a feeler gauge. Now what?

    5.7 omc stalling while shifting

    On my way to the store to get these tools. I managed to guess the gap and I was able to get back to my normal rpm and plane out. Starts ok, not as easy as before. But I’m only 3500rpm at WOT. The motor sounds good. But I’m gonna get a 15x13. Just like the book says.

    So before it hits a lobe there should be a gap of 0.018” like the specs? And when it hits a cam lobe there should be no gap and complete contact?

    Where is point gap done, when the little ridge on the middle piece is in contact with the arm from the point?

    5.7 omc stalling while shifting

    Turns out my father knows how to mess around with these things. Points looked alittle ****, also what looks like rust around them. We replaced the points and everything and set the gap to what looks like 0.017. No gauge to check. Motor starts easy and runs ok. But I can’t get to wot. Is this a...

    5.7 omc stalling while shifting

    The misfire did not dissapear. I did not touch the points yet… it happens just after 2500rpm. Changed fuel line, fuel filter and screen filter in the carb. I’m not sure how to adjust the points yet. Just a little confusing… any guidance will be much appreciated!

    5.7 omc no thermostat

    Did this and opened up and there was no thermostat, looked like it was in there and someone ripped it out. Or the thermostat broke and exploded, any how, put in a new one and got the motor running up to temp properly. Should I be worried about on 1/4 of the thermostat being there when I first...
