1969 85hp starflite ignition problems

[tlakeharley]

I recently acquired the above mentioned engine. It has been sitting up for yrs. It does turn over and fires on two cylinders but not on the other two. When standing at the rear of the engine, the two cylinders on the left fire just fine and the two on the right don't. Could this be a points problem, Power pack, Coil or all of the above. Puzzled because of firing on two?????? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm new to this site and a new boat owner. Thanks!!!!!

Yes all of the above. Since it has been sitting for awhile, you might want to start at the top and work your way down. It would probably be in your best intrest to get a factory manual. It will have trouble shooting and repair procedures, will also ansewer a lot of questions.
