Boat Forum / Building / June 2005Omc 350 Won't Run Above Idle
I changed the distributor cap, rotor, points, and condensor on an 198 engine in a Donzi. It will now start like a champ, but won't run pas 1000 rpm. The "professional" mechanic says the timing and compressioin are right and I got the plug wires back in the right sequence. He thinks it migh have jumped a tooth in the timing chain.

Put the old ones back on 'till you find which part it is. Check the gap. The condenser might be bad. Also, check for fuel quantity through the filter if all that doesn't work. Old tech's truth: If you fixed it when it wasn't broke, and now it is broke, you didn't fix it, you f*cked it. You need to f*ck it up so it's the way it was and stop fixing stuff that ain't broke. If you jumped a tooth, you will soon jump another. Then, it won't work even worse. If you jumped a tooth, the distributor would be out, and the timing wrong, 'cause it's driven from the cam. Your mech is a quack. Did you take the dist out and put it back with an extra twist? If you didn't, don't do it now! Yeah, it sounds like a troll, but if that's what it takes to get you noticed, you just keep it up. Soon, the method will fail.

Better change your professional mechanic if he can't figure that one out . I think Pinocchio is lying again.

Check the ignition advance at idle and up. Then you'll know what the problem is. Brian Whatcott Altus, OK You might also check the throttle valve position when the lever is in the open position. Sounds dumb but I had a Hillman that wouldn't go over a few hundred RPM. Drove it (slowly) for weeks before a friend put his hand on the carburettor and got thousands of RPMs. Cable from pedal to carb was rusted and pedal was bending rather than moving.
