Carnac sez How about a model number and HP so we can help you!!! If you gonna post please read rule 1 we sure ain't mind readers.
My bad this is an 1978 Johnson serial #115ETL78C model # J4981105
Do you have your flywheel and stator off and your Timer base? Usually you can drop the timer base on the upper bearing carrier and lock it down without messing with the timing. Install it and then torque the stator bolts down to 17"'s and you should be happy once you torque the flywheel to 100 #
I have the flywheel and have not removed the stator yet not enough daylight here after work will do saturday that line about engine damage just spooked me Thanks Steve
It is pretty easy once the Flywheel is removed, simply remove the stator bolts then the stator and then pull and replace the timer base you should be good to go.
ok i replaced the base still no fire on one side so i ordered the stator now all four cylinders are firing but it wont start this may be a dumb question but is there a firing order on 2 stroke i have moved the power packs and coils around to check them is a certain coil suppose to go to a certain wire out of the stator or power pack
OK now ive got the motor running but it will not turn of with the key can the installation of new timing base and stator cause this condition any body got any ideas ???

Check the black yellow wire for correct installation on the packs.
are you talking about the black and yellow wire from the timing base that goes into the dirrectional plug i anly swapped the power packs side to side to check them ? does this wire contro the iginition and that why it wont turn off with the key now ???
Yep that was it I didnt have the wires fully seated in the new plugs seems to be running great now will have to put it in the water when it warms up to tell for sure Thanks for all the god help guys great job Steve
OK 1ve still got a problem I put the boat in the water today it cranks up great all plugs are firing but the boat just doesnt have the power or speed it used to I installed a new stator and timing base to get all cylinders firing any one have any suggestions where to look next power packs??? coils ??? any suggestions would be appreciated
What was the original problem?
Loss of power, quit running, engine missed?
I had lost fire to one cylinder when I replaced the stator and timing base all four coils started firing but The motor just doesnt have the power it should it will hardly plane off you can feel it surge every now and then like it wonts to take off but it just wont go could i have a power pack or coil breaking down under load???is there a way to check the packs ???

Are all cylinders firing when this happens?
You can check it by attaching a timing light to one plug lead at a time, be sure to route the timing light wires where they will not get caught in any rotating or moving parts and reinstall the motor cover, go for a ride and see what the light shows.
all coils and plugs are firing just checked them any thoughts im struggling here!!!!!
I just checked them all plugs and all coils are firing any thoughts im struggling here!!!
Absolutely sure you are TDC on #1 and you're key way is in the crank? and The Timing pointer matches #1.
I am sure the key way is correct which cylinder is # 1 do 2 strokes have a firing order ??? I was wondering if i could have switched the coils around and have them on the wrong cylinders
