Hello all,
1995 150hp V6. It is a 60 degree looper with OIS ignition. Can I change out the powerpack without destroying the ignition timing? Both manuals I have direct going through the sync and timing procedure after replacing, but they give no alternate method of timing without the OMC Ignition Analyzer. I hate to need to take back to shop. $1500 at two different shops and doing the same thing it always has.
So, if I am careful about any adjustment slides/screws going back to same spot will the powerpack change alone mess up the timing?
Is there a way to juryrig whatever the Ignition analyzer does in the timing procedure or a way to time this engine without it?
Thanks

Intermittently this engine just dies. No sputter or anything it just dies. Happens at medium speed or WOT. Might happen once per outing or multiple times, sometimes never. Most usually it will immediately start back up and run. Has been getting worse in that it happens more often and is less and less likely to immediately start back up. Has never happened on the muffs. Both shops have focused on fuel. First shop rebuilt two carbs and replaced plugs. Never had an outing without boat dieing at speed. Second shop said all carbs needed rebuilt, even though two had only had about 20 gals gas through them, and replaced plugs again. Boat died three times in a 40 minute outing. I have never thought it was fuel related because it dies so instantly, like the kill switch was activated. I am looking for shorts with the black/yellow wires and considering replacing the powerpack just to rule it out. If I can figure out the timing thing I can replace pack and plug wires for less than even having a shop look at it again, and their track record is sketchy right now
