Think I screwed myself Yamaha TLR 40 rebuild (3 cyl.)

Well I posted a while back about doing a performance upgrade on my TLR outboard.

Long story short I had several outboard 40 parts and mixed and matched and screwed up which carbs go with which cdi box and stator coil.

So know I have a 40 hp power head .030 over, 1 mm shaved head, 50 hp carbs and 50 hp tuner. CCMS Reeds.

My CDI box was a push to advance and my carbs are pull to open, so when everything is hooked up I am running full advance at idle and as I progress the throttle I retard the timing.

I have heard about disconnebting the cdi box and leaving it around 12-17 degrees advance...

This motor is on a 14' Flats boat that weighs about 320#

TIA

just advance it to the first wot mark on the timing the 40-50hp will live with 21-24 all day

and no problems from idle to wtfo and everything in between?

Problem solved, just did some creative linkage modifications and reversed the throw from the throttle linkage and had to spin tps indicator arm 180 degrees and massage the hole a little to fit.....

Revs like a champ and my neighbors are pissed....
