Re: 1976 35HP Johnson No Start/ Back Fires on Cranking
All of my motors have points...so I'm not able to help you out.
How did you set the timing?
Using these steps I synced the Motor as for the Timing it needs to be running @ 3500RPM this wont Give me 1RPM I Did however make sure that when Cyl 1 is @TDC The fly wheel Mark is at 0
The "C" Location Note1
C1 - Powerheads referenced in the Chart to the C Primary Pick-up Location are to be adjusted to the CENTER of the mark. To obtain this 1position, the cam, or the cam follower, (depending the type of engine being serviced), is to be adjusted until pickup is at the proper location and the throttle shaft just begins to move.
C2 - Movement of the shaft can be exaggerated by attaching a short piece of stiff wire to an alligator clip; grinding down the teeth on one side of the clip; and then attaching the clip to the throttle shaft, as shown. The wire jiggling will instantly indicate movement of the shaft.
The actual adjustment is accomplished by ONLY ONE of two means, depending on the powerhead being serviced. Check the Chart for the adjustment procedures to be performed. The reference numbers are listed in the Chart under Primary Pick-up Adjustment Note.
AFTER the pick-up adjustment note has been obtained from the Chart, perform ONE of the following numbered procedures with the matching note number from the Chart.
C3 - per Note 1 in the Chart, loosen the 2 screws under the armature plate and move the primary pick-up inward or outward to meet the follower.
