fuel filter is located about 5in to the toward the rear of the motor from the fuel pump. the stator tested at 640 ohms, so i took a shot in the dark and replaced the trigger, found one of the wires was smashed between the cdm mounting bracket. Now I'm having problems getting my timing set, I watched a youtube video which showed grounding all the plug wires(older motor before cdm's) but when I do that and connect my timing light I'm not getting my light to light up when cranking. I thought well maybe I screwed up something but when I install plugs and hook them up the motor starts right up, know my timing is off because I had to replace the plastic piece that holds the adjustment screw(cracked). I had the timing light grounded to the starter and hot to battery, plugs were grounded to solenoid ground. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong. I did pull my plugs, 1/2 seem to have normal build up on them, but 3/4 were clean. Sorry it took me so long to get back, thanks for the help so far.
