ficht timing

[fishchris361]

i have been waiting so long to go on my boat, i have 2 1999 90 hp fichts. i had the computers program updated by dfi in alabama, since then i had an engine blow from a computer malfunction. today i have a new power head & new computer. i wanted to timing calibrate both motors. i have ficht version 1.42b software running in dos prompt startup mode with win 98. the program reads my motors fine, but when i go to timing calibration, the program will not save any changes i make, i make them in 1,2 & 3 dagree incraments and it still doesnt work. actually when i go into the timing section of the program, all the sudden my motor starts running really rough until i exit that section. then it acts as if my motors go back to a default timing? my new power head on the stbd motor runs at 6 dagrees btdc and my older port motor runs at 23 dagrees btdc. the computer doesnt even save my changes when i exit the program. i know this because when i exit the timing section the motors run back to normal and when i go back into the program the ecu tdc is way off what i tried to put in???????????? this is really frustraiting. I have talked to like 6 people about this, and then i brought it to an outboard shop and ended up blowing my motor, i dont want to do it again, please help i beg anyone please, thank you for reading my troubles,<br /><br />chris sommer<br />www.chrissommer.com
