    I have been pulling my hair out with this thing. 1989 40hp 4cylinder 2 stroke. First off, when putting a timing light on #1 cylinder, the timing marks are no where near close at cranking speed. Moving the spark advance lever does nothing. When timing marks are in the "window" the piston is...

    140 hp timer base or stator bad?

    I have a 1990 140 Evinrude that recently lost spark on all 4 cylinders at once. Checked ignition switch and its fine. I have it narrowed down to either the timer base or the stator. Which should I replace first? My thoughts are the timer base.

    25 HP Tohatsu Crankshaft

    I have an older 25 HP Tohatsu I took on a trade. I know very little about them, but it was running great at one time until the owner hit a rock bar.
