Hey guys so far I have replaced ignition points, condensers and set gap on ignition coils. I will be going out on the water this weekend to test it out. One thing I noticed was the roller that follows the cam is grooved and one spot is flat spotted causing it to slide rather than roll, where can I get one of these rollers.

Sometimes you can turn them upside down to get the groove in another spot. Or in a pinch I've wrapped one in electrical tape.

I tried the upside down trick and the flat spot keeps the carb butterfly from opening all the way so I would be losing top speed. I got one ordered off ebay for 7 bucks. Thanks guys.
