Hello,
I have two questions.
I have a 1984 2.5 L Omc stern drive engine.
Today on the water it was backfiring when I would hit the throttle from a standstill . If I moved the throttle very slowly I could bring the boat up to speed. But the engine sounded a little rough.
When I got back home I looked at the points I had installed a couple of weeks ago and found that they slipped to completely closed position. Would this have caused my backfiring problem?
My 2nd question is my front engine mount holes are stripped out. I saw a video on YouTube about how fix with a 2 part epoxy. But the guy never said what kind of epoxy. Is there a certain kind or a different way to fix the stripped out holes?
Thank you
