"Recently purchased a boat wit
"Recently purchased a boat with an 85hp chrysler on it. Not sure what year(70's??). It has a breaker point distibutor and type IV ignition. Im sure its not one of the earlier models. I couldnt get it to start thought there was no fire but took it to a marine shop to give it a good look over and they said all cylinders are firing. Its a project boat so I am planning doing most of the work myslef. He also said the points needed to be replaced. After getting it back I tried again and nothing. They said everything else looked fine, just needs new points. Any ideas?? thanks"
