looper timing question

[overdrivecb]

having problems timing v6 225 , fresh motor just rebuilt , new pp and new stator. trying to set total advance at 16* and it will only get up to around 12-13 at 6000 rpm in gear in the water. the advance will not go any farther its not even touching the screw limiter the pointer is right at top dead center on number 1 the base just cant physically go any farther

same with 2 different lights
carbs are going to wot and the linkage arms arent limiting the advance

any ideas

Sounds like you have a flywheel or trigger problem assuming you have the correct timer pack combo

ok i checked on it today and fly wheel looks to be in good shape , magnets are all stuck good and are strong, none have moved. checked tdc and its dead on on #1 timer base is a 584586 and it should be good with the pp (586662) those same numbers were running together before a upper bearing melted everything.

i found out today that the timing arm is hitting the forward stator bolt tower preventing it from going farther

could ngk plugs be making it act funny

or would you lean towards timer

im working on another flywheel


anyone got a timer for sale need a 584586 or anything compatable

What year is your motor? I have a 95 Evinrude Limited Edition 200hp PM me your number or I can PM you mine.
In my 96 225 Johnson if I didn't run the Champion plugs it wouldn't run worth a darn and acted all funny. Not saying that is your problem but it could be.

dont know the year, its got all kinds off different parts but it is a fingerport block and it has the poppit in the block by the port head

You need to look at the ctr hub not the outer magnets. The timer should not need to move any further

ok will check i was thinking that if it the piston was tdc and the tdc on the wheel lined up with the tdc mark on the pointer i was good but will check the hub

[racer]

I would also put timing marks for all 6 cylinders to check them. You are checking with the engine running at 5k under load correct?

[overdrivecb]

will do, and yes in gear at the boat ramp on trailer prop about 90% in the water at 5000 or above gonna check it again tomorrow just to confirm my findings

thanks for all the help

took it out this morning and it worked just like it was supposed to timied it at 16* i dont know what i was doing wrong but today it worked perfect only thing i did diff. was disconnect the quickstart wire, after it was warm

its was a little hard to get started it will hit on one and disengage the starter over and over then all of the sudden be fine fire up and run
