Last year I had a boat shop look at my motor because it was idling fine, but anything past half throttle and it would bog down. I rebuilt the carbs and replaced the plugs but made no difference. The boat shop(just some Gomer with a tin shed and a 'BOAT REPARE' sign........I know it's misspelled) said that the compression was fine and suggested the timing base was bad. He wanted $700 to repair it. I told him I would retire it and paid him $200 for diagnosis. To make a long story even longer, he left off all of the screws on the terminal strip at the back of the motor. He also kept the terminal strip cover. I assume the wiring chart was printed on the cover.<br /><br />Does anyone know what the wiring layout is for a 1974 Johnson Javlin 85HP. I want to try out my new timing base.<br /><br />Thanks
