Re: Johnson Seahorse TN28 Timing off?

[mikele86]

quote FrankR:

Never too old to learn, another member demonstrated to me how those things can be hard to start if not sitting level. If the lower unit is kicked out (like partially tilted), the primer fuel just runs out instead of into the rotary valve. Something to think about anyway. I wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn’t shown it to me.

Timing can’t be off, except by grossly mal-adjusting the breaker points or not having the throttle in the start position.

The motor couldnt be more level and the breaker points seem to be set right
