88 Marathon timing tips

Buggy_Doug · 05-04-2013, 04:26 PM

Ok. I wasnt lent down a path yet on this Marathon. On a new comp tester I have 120 psi. woo-hoo. Ideas. Could air gap do this. As I have said I put a light on it and see those marks are very forgiving. Timing doesnt move a whole heck of a lot if your not quite on. Ideas? I may pull the carb to check on the gassy exhaust. Maybe pull apart the fuel pump to be sure. On the flip side, will polarity of the wires on the pulsar effect forward reverse speed.? As for a governor. Its missing. Frankly I dont see how they work as I have yet to find a diagram of this one. I just have a knurled stub on a lever with a cable to the throttle arm. It stops it at a full position or there abouts.
