Have you taken it testing on the lake across from main side? I've heard the water is crystal clear!

Jk man! That's a sweet deal on that Baja, cool boat. So you say it needs help. Give us some more pictures!!

Dude. .. Thank you for your service! You be careful in what you do! Welcome to the site, it's a good place to be. My 2cents, fuel problems:filters, lines, jets, diaphrams, squirters, gaskets.
Distributer problem:cap cracks, brass terminal issues, not advancing properly or enough, points or module troubles. There's a thousand different areas to check. Talk to an old helo mechanic, I've worked with several, most intelligent folks I have known PERIOD. Good luck sir.BOOYAA. Cool barg. Nice buy!
