shop says i need a new timer base, what do you think?
motor will idle and Rev in a hose . in the water it will idle but it stalls when you put it in gear . here' s a
few details .
- 1986 evinrude 140
- carbs rebuilt
- 125 Psi compression on all 4 cyl
- new champion plugs
- timing set to 18 degrees
- new fuel filter and fresh gas
- seafoam decarb
- link Ans sync .
the timing was 8 degrees off , and I adjusted it to spec.
I got fed up and took it to a shop . the mechanic tells me that the timer base is bad , and its $ 240 plus
labor. if the timer base was bad , would the motor run? would I have been able to adjust the timing? I
want to make sure I' m not throwing $ 300+ down the drain for his guess .
