10,000 high school boys (and 1,000 high school girls) did it over last
weekend.

Must have been one hell of an orgy.

Sorry, couldn't resist. LOL

dean, go pay some guy $95 an hour for four hours for what a sixteen year
old
kid could do in twenty minutes. installing a distributor is EEEE fickin
ZEE.

remove the plug from cyl #1 (or any cyl), put your thumb over the hole,
turn
over the engine until you feel compression coming up, then some more,
then
use
a small screwdriver stuck down the hole and turn the engine over very
slowly
until the piston has stopped moving up.

What shade tree do you work under? The screwdriver bit went out with
Briggs
and Stratons 3.5 horse motors.


Take cap off distributor, noting which plug wire the rotor is pointing
at,
insert distributor in hole and tighten hold bolt enough to kept the
distributor
from slopping around. The spark wire the rotor is pointing is the wire
you
run
to cyl #1. then run the rest of the plug wires to the prop plugs in the
proper
order.

If the distributor is out of the motor you'd think that maybe, I said
just
maybe that the distributor shaft would have been moved somewhere in the
process.

You engine will start (assuming all else is okay), and then time the
engine.

Then go boating and enjoy.


Then following these directions you haul the boat down to a tech that
really
knows what he's doing and ignore any post from this asshole JAXAshby.

After following the post made by JAX for the last several months, I
quickly
came to realize that you'd have to be a fool to listen to anything this
guy
has
to say. While he claims to know just about everything, you should read
some
of
his post in the other groups where he asks questions that a first year
high
school shop class student could answer.
