    2001 Reinell 190 with Ford motor and OMC outdrive

    Stringer drives went out in 1985. A stringer in a 2001 boat is just a bunch of Frankenstein parts. Not worth buying unless they give you $2000 so you can pay disposal fees

    Unless you removed the dizzy and stabbed it correctly when the motor is at TDC on #1. The rest doesn't matter. Start with the motor at TDC on the compression stroke and verify wiring from there
