I looked for timing, but didn't see anything for it...no marks on the flywheel nor anything to adjust there. That was my first thought to look at.

I am going to test the coil as that is the one piece that is quick and easy as well.

I did pull the breather plate off and it had oil in it...been doing that for years but figured that was due to me laying the motor down wrong when off the boat. Cleaned that all up but no change.

Will see what I can do for exhaust plugging... It has not been run very much at all so I don't suspect that to be the issue, but will definitely check it out.

Think I'm going to do a seafoam process as well...Blow a bunch of white smoke for a bit...I'm hopeful on this one, but not optimistic it will take care of things...
