I'm working with a friend to try to get his boat working again. I'm not sure the exact engine he has, but it's a 4 cyl Volvo Penta inboard.
Anyways, that said... Apparently, a mechanic did not properly tighten the distributor, and it came off when he was on the lake. He retightened it, and the engine turns and tries to start -- but instead of starting, backfires every time it cranks up.
I'm guessing it is a timing issue -- how do we fix this?
Thanks,
Dave
