Hello all. Just signed up on the forums today. I have been looking at this site for some time. I have an 84' Galaxy with a gmc 305. This thing wants to start but won't. Here's a rundown of what I've done.
NEW carb dynatuned less than 200 miles away.
NEW cap, rotor and pickup
NEW ignition amplifier
NEW fuel pump
NEW plugs
NEW starter
I have spent a fortune on this and haven't even had it in the water yet...
I am getting spark and fuel. I know the gas is good cause I'm pumping it out of a gas can. I KNOW it's in time cause I used the SOLEC book to time it 8* BTDC. This thing is trying to start but it simply won't run. I've checked everything and can't figure out what the heck is going on. This is my first boat and maybe my last if I can't figure this darn thing out. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! I bought the boat from a guy that just died. He took care of it. U can tell. The family said he pulled it out of the lake and winterized it before he got sick. That was AT LEAST 7 years ago. So the thing has sat that long and no one touched it since. I can't think of any other info I can give to help start the think tank suggestions. I'll try anything and EVERYTHING I need to.
Thanks everyone
Adam
