    142 supercharger on a stock 5.7 ?

    guessing from the boat build year you have a carbed motor . that said , IMO , it would be cheaper and more reliable with less modifications to get yourself one of those aftermarket fuel injection systems , try to get one with a user programable map that way you can get real time figures and you...

    4 stroke air /fuel screw setting

    this should be interesting (y). as far as i know the idle air screw needs to be set with the ECU in set mode to allow the idle air control (IAC) to co ordinate with other relevant sensors., so pretty much would be hit or miss if you get the air valve (screw) set correctly.

    Cannot reinstall lower unit on 1990 150 blackmax

    Swapped Thunderbolt IV for Delco EST

    if you haven't swapped any leads around then yes , you have not aligned TDC , compression stroke on #1 cylinder . if you have room you may be able to crank the dizzy around enough to get it to run.it sounds as if you may have ignition retarded , but try both ways about 1/2 an inch either...
