Of course they do i appreciate your help and will check all of your suggestions thank you

Also there is a kill switch linked to the plugs done by a previous owner and sometimes when turned to make to break it does not kill the engine it just drops on revs on idle

Will this cause the intermittent engine starts ?

Thanks for replying racer you are somewhat a legend around here

Hey everyone first post here. We have a 20 hp 1973 long shaft outboard, currently on our weston 670 22 ft give or take, Currently on a calm river the maximum speed we can get at high revs is approx 7-8mph, and it seems very unresponsive when throttling forward, however in reverse it goes nuts...

Wow awesome moving forward hope you get everything sorted out

Giving up ?

Although its very hard to see properly through photos and short videos

Well its a timing issue so why not try a new key my johnson 20hp flywheel does not have a gap that large or the movement that he seems to have

I still think the woodruff key is not meeting the flywheel properly on this image I can see a gap between the flywheel to the key

He said it was running fine and hasn't changed wiring as far as we know so would that be an issue ?

Top of this looks rounded off also
