If your timming was off and had to be adjusted you might seriously consider getting a dwell meter and checking the point dwell. Typically ignition timming does not need to be reset unless someone has messed with it. On an ignition system with points, timming will vary because the point dwell changes. Dwell changes occure because the little rubbing block on the point set wears down which causes the points to stay closed longer (dwell change). Always set point dwell before setting timming.

Marine fule tanks create water due to condensation. Whatever you do don't neglect the fuel filter.
