Re: Timing Parts Compatibility
VJ200TXESM - The old part can't be repaired as I don't have the pieces. I would love to just modify what I have to make it work, but I'm not familiar with the overall mechanics behind the mechanism.

OK. A friend of mine's father passed away, and in an effort to help her mother clean junk out of their yard, I am now in possession of my first boat... and it's going to be a project. The boat is a Beretta model MH-164-R1, manufactured in 1978 I believe. All I've had time to do is clean the...
