o.k heres the deal. i have a johnson 130 '99. i did a service on the motor and put on a power pack and new head gasket. took the boat out for a run and it ran and idled perfect. 2 days later started it up and ran fine off the hose. 3 weeks later started it up and ran fine for 10 mins shut it down because i wanted to adjust the rpms but the motor had no spark on any cyl. i then replaced the stator and timerbase because the old ones tested bad.
now i followed joe reeves post for timing adjustments and i set it at 14 deg. btc. but when i put the boat in the water its hard to start and when it does it idles for 30 sec. and stalls.
now i'm wondering if i should mess with the idle adjustment screw. wich it says in his post would fix itself. or if i'm missing something or just plainly doing something wrong. i just dont understand why it could run so smooth and now runs like crap. thanks in advance!
