Capt Pete: THE Man!!
The man who tamed the Merc!!...
 Up and planed out, the Merc has been runnin' pretty good..but thanks to a mysterious LIGHT of the timing kind showing up here from Florida, courtesy of RidgeRunner(along w/a Clymer manual), Capt Pete laid hands on the Merc yesterday and NOW the Merc REELY purrs!!...perfectly RPMed at idle, stays running when popped outta gear approaching the dock, idles down for slow trolling and all...Pete is the real deal, no doubt... He came down w/a sinus thing which prevented fishin' this morning and is on his way back home now, so we'll have to chase stripers on Lake Hartwell another day, but we did get to test run the boat after he dialed it in on Lake Bowen.. Travel safe, Pete...and come back whenever ya can!!...for friends like you, we're always open

I was starting to sweat the idle on that old girl. Flywheel cover helps tremendously on link-n-sink, otherwise your kinda guessing at the timing.. Glad it got sorted out. Not real bad on fuel either. Thanks Capt. Pete.
