Hello,

So here is my issue. I procured a boat with the engine listed in the topic. The previous owner told us he took it on a ride and when he got to his destination it would not work anymore. After some testing we realized the number 4 cylinder was not getting compression. We took the head off and did some work on it, put new gaskets etc. We've cleaned the carbs and just about everything else. The problem is, when we try to get into the throttle we seem to be only getting about half of what the engine is suppose to be giving. So, we think it is a timing problem. So we do what everyone does, we consult the manual.

When we do this, the manual states for the Full Throttle Spark Advance setting, we need to consult the decal on the engine. Well...the decal is not there. I have the model info for the boat: E115TLCTE

Does anyone think they will be able to provide the spec's I'm looking for?

Thanks in advance.

What psi compression are you getting now on "all" of the individual cylinders?
