GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Im stuck I set my wot timing with the Joe Reeves method I also did link and sync but what I'm confused about is where the spark advance lever should sit at idle
you say at start rpm's go high, just to be clear, not a run away rpm, try backing out that idle screw,,if no help can always put it back, should idle on muffs about 1100 to 1300 or so, if no help , what racerone said

Thats your wot one in the picture your low one is on the throttle arm. They both look out of whack. Mine are not at all at far length of the screw like that
You adjust it for idle when its warm and in a barrel or in the sea/lake/river/ swimming pool whatever (it needs back pressure on it)
In neutral make sure its up to operating temperature (by using the warm up lever) when its reaches temperature screw the idle screw on the throttle arm ( the silver one below the one in your picture) in slowly until the motor dies. Then back it out a touch. You want it at the lowest setting that the motor will run on when warm, there is no spec per se.
You will find that that idle screw is a lot further in so long as everything else on your motor is generally alright. Your wot one looks out of whack too so if that is where you are getting the timing flash for the spec for this motor then you will need to check the flywheel key. You can do that by moving the motor to TDC and checking that the flywheel is at 0degs if you dont want to pull it

Thank you so much that was the exact answer i was looking for and apparently i am missing the plate that the idle screw rests on according to the diagrams so i just purchased one idk how the guy i bought it from had it running
Running but not running well probably explains what the previous guy had.
No worries, good luck. If you want a photo of where mine is at just let me know and il head to it, its in storage in my backyard here as its winter in New Zealand at the moment.
Mines gone well for years. I just do the water pump every three years and check the oil and ive never had any problems.
The Voltage can get up high as they werent regulated so make sure you dont cook a battery. Ive a big battery but a little one on a long outing would get overcharged. I put a cheap volt meter in to keep an eye on it. Some people run lights etc to dump charge when it gets high >16volts
