Re: 1984 3207 Ignition Conversion
We also replaced the springs with new OEM mallory springs. Cleaned everything up and well see in a few weeks if that did the trick. I will look at full replacement if this does not work.
The springs we extremely rusted over and looked pretty bad. The weights just needed a light brushing and they looked like new. Again, well see. Once the engines are fired up for the first time this year, mechanic will come back and adjust carbs (Both carbs just fully rebuilt) and time engines.
Thanks all!

Poured gas into the carb vents.
Bingo!
Started and running with one or two revolutions. I did have to adjust the timing a couple degrees, because I had to adjust dwell, but I was close.
Later changed to Pertronix.

Re: 1984 3207 Ignition Conversion
Mech set carbs and base and TA timing and both engines ran and sounded great! he primed the system, hit the button and boom they came to life and didn't miss a beat. I couldn't be happier.
Thanks gain for everyone's input and replies. Happy boating season!
