    I have a 1989 mercruser tops out at 3000 rpm

    Not sure if you have a thunderbolt ignition or earlier points... If TB the module usually will say V8-22 or V8-24 the 22 or 24 or whatever is on there is the degrees of advance added to intial timing. As a rule of thumb would think 28-32 total by like 2800-3k rpm should at least be between the...

    Starter not engaging

    reasonably maintained a marine SBC will outlast the boat. Not sure if yo are doing the work or if you are having it done but on a typical deck boat or bowrider there is not a lot of labor in pulling and engine, at least not enough to justify swapping a long block just because you have it out...

    Rochester 2 jet accelerator pump I weird

    no gremlins as a Rochester 2 jet is about as simple as it gets. If I had to guess someone reversed the lever that connects the accelerator pump to the pivot shaft in float bowl top. Look on your tube at mikes carb parts videos he has a bunch of rochester 2 jet and mercarb (very similar later...
