How did it run for you last season?----What happened?-----Compression tested ?----Flywheel key checked?----Valve timing checked?

I always ask folks to post the actual compression values,----Need to establish condition of the engine,-----Where did you purchase the pump and carburetor?----I would have repaired the pump and carburetor you had, very easy to do.

I worked at a dealer where we sold those motors NEW.-----Can rebuild engine and lower unit without using / needing a manual.

I stated that there is no ECU on the motor.----Motor starts /runs on the mix ratio that is in the carburetors!

The Ford engine does not go from 600 to 6000RPM very often.----The outboard does when waterskiing or just playing.----Nor does the ford need to run at 5500RPM all day long.

???----Post states---" normal start-up is a 100:1 "-----And I say it starts with what ever mixture is in the carburetors.----There is no ECU that decides 100:1 on initial start!----Technicality I know.-----It is important for owner to understand / learn how this motor works.----Saves money.

Need to determine issue with top cylinder.----Fuel pump diaphragm ruptured??----Reed valve issue?

Once more----The rotor has nothing to do with timing.-----I need to step aside on this project / saga.

Take an ohm reading across both breaker sets.----The rotor is held in place by the wave spring and flywheel.----Not sure why you are obsessed by any wobble that you appear to observe !

Are both sets of breaker points ABSOLUTELY clean?

???---Guessing does not work.----Have you looked closely at the rotor and cap ( have one in front of me ) to see how spark from the coil gets to each plug lead???---Firing is determine by opening of the breaker points !----Have you cleaned all areas of cap and rotor to remove any traces of...

You have listened to wrong information !----And you do not understand what the bleed system does.-----And no it does NOT start at 100:1

Flywheel key has nothing to do with timing on this motor!!

???-----Use google with part # and rotor !!!-----Cheaper parts will jump out of your screen !

Some buyers get rid of big trees ( big weeds ) before they smash the house.-----Plant little ones and watch them grow.

I would never spend $400 on new ignition parts for that motor !!

Remove exhaust cover.----Look at pistons / rings.

Wave washer secures the rotor !----Rotor does not control timing.----Opening of breaker points controls timing

Run the carburetor empty when done.---A dry carburetor does not plug up.

Impeller is all it needs.
