Hello every one
I have acquired a 1978 mercury 800 80hp that has been setting for about 15 years.
Electrolysis had set in and destroyed most of the wiring so first things first I checked
The compression and its running 130 to 135 all four cylinders, so I began the task of
Replacing the electrical.
Replaced the stator, the trigger and the whole wiring harness, thoroughly cleaned the carb's
Replacing all gaskets, replaced all fuel lines.
Done the Timing Point Adjustment
But when doing the Primary Pickup Synchronizing Timing it look as throw the cam never touches
The carb pin all the way throughout the first cam cycle.
I can get the engine to run but only till it’s put in gear and it stall’s and dies.
I believe it has to do with the timing but that’s back to the cam issues .
Can the cam be wore that bad are am I missing something.
Bi the way, I’m doing this from the seloc manual.
