"hi does anyone know what year
"hi does anyone know what year the following engine is. i can find a number on the shaft which is 327730D. i have plenty of part numbers for the throttle, side cover, head cover, and carb mount. i was sold this with my new boat and told it was a susuki 25, but have been told after that it is a johnson engine. i have no idea what the timing settings would be. i think it is cdi not sure do i need to take fly wheel off to find this out. at the moment i can start engine but it seems to strain as if timing is out, runs for approx 3-4 mins then cuts out, then after fiddling with the acclerator i can get it to start again and then when it cuts out again it almost sounds as if it is going to back fire sometimes possible to rev but other times it seems to suck in too much air and cuts out. so i am wondering if i has anything to do with the advance and retard system thanks for any help"
