Attached a pic of the problem. Was running in today and the motor just cut out, after an hour of random starts, stalls, dead batteries, etc I noticed the timing wheel was toast. Not sure how that happened but I am sure this may explain some of the other idle issues and rough start problems I was having.

Anyway, I have the replacement part, but no NOTHING about timing and the OIS system. Can I just slap on the new wheel and be good to go? Just match up where it was with the new one?

Any help would be appreciated as I am in the dark here.

Thanks.

It is keyed, only one way to install.
Put the new one on and see how it runs.

That's what I was hoping for. Going to pop out the remnants of the old one tonight and swap in the new one. We'll see what happens. I am just hoping it didn't screw up the timing light/eye while it was spinning around all busted up.

Well I replaced the timing wheel and she runs a hell of a lot better, go figure ;)

I am still having an issue with fuel delivery, under hard acceleration she bogs before hauling ***, and if I really hammer it down (idle to WOT fast) she sometimes stalls out. I am thinking it is either the primer ball getting jammed up or the fuel pump struggling to keep up. Any other thoughts?

Look real close at the glued in balls in the bowls of the carbs , we had a problem with two of them leaking.

Oh, and the stuff by Loctite seems to be holding up.

I will take a look. How did you spot the leak in the first place? Was it just dripping while in use?

I honestly don't remember if it was while priming the bubble or after it had leaked down the side of the motor.

I don't think I have any leaks as the ball gets hard as a rock once the carbs fill up, but you never know. I will be checking it this week.

Thanks.
