back story on the engine it started knocking last year. so we pulled it. Piston 3 was broke. we sent the block and the head out to a machine shop and they did their thing.
Me and son just finished up rebuilding the engine and we want to start it and run it before we put it...
the only reason i ask is that when i cleaned the carb the paint on the carb was coming off with the carb cleaner. so i stripped the carb of all paint and figure why repaint it. speacialy if I have to clean it again
good question. there is an ignition module on the distributor looks just like a car setup. I don't know what the numbers are on it. The boat is still in it's winter cocoon.
