I was told about the time advance between 5250 and 5400, I beleive my motors ran about 5300-5350 before redoing the top end. When I spoke to one of the guys helping me about the time advance said no. I have a rinda scan tool , looks like Ill be running the boat this week and I will find out exaclty were everything is. I f you have any other info let me know. What affects may there be from bumping up the rev limiter and I also was told a liitle time advance might not hurt, give your thoughts.

It was built that way at the factory. It was built for OSO member Drag n Ass in 1997.

We also put in new mounts to realign the motors the drives would not go back on also replaced one coupler. I thought it should run better, at a loss
Don't know if you already solved the problem, but have you checked the timing? I once had the same prob with 502EFI years ago in a 38 scarab, after rebuild the base timing was set to low, they should time at 4000 rpm

That's not true. They need to be put in base timing mode and set at 8 deg. By putting them in base timing mode, you take the ecm out of the equation as far as timing is concerned. You can put it in base timing mode with a scan tool or by jumping out the A and B terminals of the data plug. You can use the jumper plug or do it with a piece of wire or a paperclip.

that's not thrue, you put them in timing mode (we use the dtt or newer laptop) and you time them on 4000, like a carb engine, that way you are 100% you have the complete timing degrees available, had the exact problem before, was a mercruiser factory tech who told me and turned out just fine

to get this correct put the motor in base timing mode, run it to 4000 rpm and set the timing on 4000rpm. I watched them set the timing on the motor and it was not done that way. If you have a set procedure please explain, also I have a rinda scan tool available to me what can I check for to make sure it is done properly.

so what was your total timming at 4000?
