Engine stalled and quit working at lake. Brought it home and got it running by adjusting timing to around 25 degrees BTDC. Took heat exchanger, sea water pump, brackets off to access timing belt. It appeared that the timing belt jumped a tooth on the intermediate shaft.
Bought new timing belt and tensioner. Installed new belt and tensioner. Got motor to run but it was still around 25 degrees. Rechecked timing belt, actually took it off to try and start over. Same result.
Went back to basics and verified crankshaft at TDC through #1 spark plug hole. Verified valves closed and checked intermediate shaft to verify rotor was pointing at #1 on distributor cap. All good.
Then, had the idea to back the intermediate shaft and camshaft sprockets back one tooth, thus trying to reduce timing. Guess what? Same result.
BTW - cap, rotor, wires, and plugs new. Electronic ignition installed several years ago.
Very confused at this point, any ideas?
Thanks for the help...
