There was a bulletin on that, to try to idle for a while before shutting
down. I will try to look it up to see if it gives any other suggestions. "bigtwinhog" wrote in message ups.com... Thanks much, I was afraid of that. Idle is actually pretty close and problem is generally associated with shutting down after high speed run. Ron Knapik wrote: Yes, on a newer unit, you should not just change timing. To check timing requires a shunt to be used. Things that cause overrun on these are... shutting the engine down right after a high speed run, an engine running to rich, adjust carb, high idle speed, and most important an engine that is running hot. "Jim" wrote in message nk.net... "bigtwinhog" wrote in message ups.com... I know this is a common problem but am still at a loss to eliminate. Motor continues to try to run when it is shut off, which is likely a timing issue. Can I simply unbolt the distributor cap and rotate it? Did not look like that was possible. Any suggestions- other than higher ocatane fuel? bigtwinhog I don't think you should do that. I think you should hire someone to check the timing for you. Check idle speed too. Engine might be running too hot or too rich, carboning up etc. |
