Your picture shows a PRIMER PUMP.-----Find out how to use it for starting the motor.

What is the motor doing / not doing ?

How did it run for you last season?-----Could be running on 2 of 3 cylinders.----Post the actual compression values here.----And does spark jump a gap of 3/8" on each lead?

easy to find in my parts boxes.----But google the part numbers and some will show up for you.

With timing out by 180 degrees the motor would not run.

Replaced o-rings in fuel line connecters?====Does spark jump a gap of 5/16" on both leads ?----Post actual compression values here.

Your location?

Perhaps throttle plate is opening too soon.

All the inline 4 with the 4 carburetors were the 2+2 configuration.---Not the best motor for a pontoon.---Best option in my opinion is an OMC model V-4 of crossflow.----Find one to rebuild and you will have a smooth running motor for 20 seasons.

Motor should be running to shift from neutral to reverse.----Or prop should be turned to shift to reverse.

The one in the picture looks very good.----Clean and set points at 0.020 and check for spark.----Then set using the flywheel to get maximum spart at the right time.----The timing tool ( I have them ) is nothing but a " dummy flywheel " a shop time saver.

The timing tool is a shop time saver.----You can use the flywheel to get the same results.-----Picture of the coils and condensers?

Running on 2 of 3 cylinders?

I think I would install the newer ( better ) cable slowspeed control,

I believe the shift rod rotates COUNTERCLOCKWISE to get neutral.------Or rotate it counterclockwise till the spring resists.----That is forward.-----This should be easy to solve,
