Thanks for all your suggestions. New gas with exactly measured oil made no difference. However, I put the timing light on each of the plug leads and was really confused at what I saw. #1, both lead and trail, 35 degrees before TDC So good so far. #2, " " " " mostly 35 degrees Btdc, and an ocasanal 120 off from that # 3 A lot of 240 degrees (about where it should be) and a lot at 35 Btdc. After looking at that, I am surprised it runs at all. And Tracy won't be back till next week. I am hopeing that the extra length of my embilical cord from the firewall to engine (Seawind) accounts for all of that, but I have a hard time convincing myself that is so. Any other good ideas?????
