"Merc 5.0L vintage 2001 engine
"Merc 5.0L vintage 2001 engine w/ Rochester 4 bbl.
I think I have a problem with the spark advance. II have not looked, but believe this has a mechanical advance? If so, can I visually inspect the distributor to determine if it is working?
Symptoms - The boat has a hard time getting up on plane, and the engine does not seem to rev appropriately when the the throttle is openned up (Prop pitch is correct = 18). If this were my V-8 in my Cuda, I would be suspecting a vacuum leak, spark advance, or timing (carb seems to function appropriately).
Any diagnostic tips would be greatly appreciated."
