This morning I put a new condenser on the Dizzy. Now I cannot get the boat to run. I have to advance the dizzy 30+ degrees before the engine will run. I have tried to restab the dizzy a hundred times thinking I missed the sweet spot. Nothing I do will fix it. Set the #1 cylinder to TDC, point rotor on dizzy to the #1 tower on the dizzy cap. No running at all. I spin the whole dizzy and then it will run. Timing light shows 30+ degrees advance. It runs, but runs rough. Can the timing belt jumping cause this?
