Re: Johnson HD-25 running issues

[Buccaneer]

Aqua, I used a small engine TDC gauge that has the 14 mm
thread for the plug hole.
Pre-set the points at .020, then placed
my buzz box across the points for the cylinder on TDC.
Moved the mag plate until the points just start to open,
and the buzzer pitch changes.
I marked the mag plate lever position in case it gets bumped,
but make sure it doesn’t move is best.
I then set-up for the other cylinder for TDC
and re-hookup my buzzer.
I adjust the points so they just open, and the buzzer
goes off, with the mag plate in the same position as
the other cylinder.
Before I re-set the points using the buzz box, I’d have to move
the mag plate about 1/2" travel between the two points
where the box box went off for each cylinder.
Not sure if any of this makes sense, or if I even know what
I’m doing, but hey, it worked for me!

Prepare to be boarded!
