Timer Base Replacement

[droutte]

I am going to replace the timer base. <br />If I mark the location, will I need to <br />get timing re-checked ?<br /><br />1989<br />Johnson 150 HP<br />SL/ST, 6cyl<br /><br />Thanks<br />Dan

No need to mark the location but it never hurts to recheck the timing anytime you repalce an ignition component.

droutte,<br /><br />I know this is an old post, but I found it in a search and am curious as to how you determined your timer base was bad? Also, what symptoms was your motor showing and did the new timer base fix it? Replace any other parts along with the timer? I'm going through this with my '89 Evinrude XP150 right now. Thanks!!!
