Improving the engine running

[color=#008000]THAT! is Classic!

No more white paint from now on........HA!

OK, what is the Anagram for "Toyota Fkd Steering or throttle control" .........

Maybe Toyota need a REALLY wide timing mark to get around production problems with anything that can even be remotely considered as... "Round"?

Question please, what the is the white paint on the flywheel for?

That was a lucky strike on the part of an overflying Osprey.

When your pen name is an anagram of that well beloved Japanese smooth running efficient model of modern engineering - Toyota - then you might paint a easy to see timing mark on the flywheel to see whether its stopped.

Or is that if you're deaf?

I'm sorry, what? In answer to the question, I have a small boat. A toy to some. A toy yacht. Atoyot. It was inspired in part by the rear-view mirror read of some "rice boy's" (young kid in a Jap car with stickers and muffler mods to make it look and sound like a racing machine when it ain't) windscreen, with a sticker saying "TOYOTA". Picture that reversed in a mirror. At the time when I joined the board I drove a Honda; that's been run into and totaled out, so now the tow vehicle is in fact - a Toyota. By coincidence only.

On the bit about the flywheel, perhaps I should paint on a blaze-orange spiral that corkscrews into the air as the machine operates. Perhaps I'll paint yellow inbetween.

I notice the throttle is more than 2 1/2" from the tiller bolt, is this ok, the manual says this is the desired position to have it. Just tell me to shut up if I'm being a pain in the a.se! Seriously though, is this distance of 2 1/2" only for certain engines?

Outboard - you certainly havn't time to be making enquiries about irrevelant arcane niceties.

Get back to the shed -
- we want a detailed progress report by the end of the week . . .

I'm sure this measurement assumes you're using the original issue cable of an assumed length (per original spec...). As long as you can work the tiller handle from one end of it's movement around to the other, without stretching or binding the cable, you should be fine with that placement.
