I recently purchased a 1982 Glastron c-537 with a 470 Mercruiser and pre-Alpha outdrive. I have read all the previous threads and looking for a little more info.
Previously, I have added a new gas tank, rebuilt carb, starter solonoid, replaced the water pump seals, new hoses. Motor now starts right up and runs good on ear muffs.
Current issues:
1. While on the lake, When the engine runs for a while and gets warmed up, It does not want to turn over until it cools down for a bit.
2. wants to run hot if I idle for long periods of time like when you are helping someone trying to learn how to ski. run down the lake and the temp goes back to normal.
3. Last night I was going to check the Timing however, I do not see a timing tab. Just 3 ribbs on the water pump housing that appears to be the marks but no numbers. How do I set the timing with this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
