Sorry guys been back at work and havent fooled with it much. I am going to send it to a mechanic local to me that deals with these engines on a regular basis. Hopefully next time i post i will have an answer for all of you and i will be on the water. Thanks fellas

Been trying all day DaveT its sl close. It wont hold when the ignition isnt engaged but while its turning it sounds like it wants to fire up. Im lost. Tried half throttle and the choke is electric so not sure how to hold it.

New plugs did nothing. It stumble like it wants to start so im thinking now it might be timing. But i have no clue how to set it or how the hell it would have jumped a tooth just sitting doing nothing

Yes did that going buy new sparks now n try that

Tried it and nothing. Only pops when i shoot fuel in the cylinder and put the plug back

Ea82 with 32/36 weber used as an inboard for a mudboat. Changed my exhaust after sitting for a year cleaned the carb and now it wont start. I have spark I have fuel in the fuel rail/manifold Cylinders have compression Exhaust pushes pressure when turning motor Sparkplugs are dry after turning over Will pop if i put fuel directly into the cylinder Anyone run into something simular?

OK so brought it to the mechanic that built the motor and what happened was the camshaft bearing bolt backed out and went in the gear causing the failure. The mechanic said in 30 years of doing mainly Subaru's he has never seen that before so he gave me a new gear and belt and he's going to get it running and tuned up for 90 bucks so I'd say it was worth bringing it in. Thanks everyone for you help and I will post a video as soon as I can show you guys how bad rump roast the motors are in a boat in the mud

Its not a blob its flared out like a bolt or something got wedged back there

I'll try and post a pic but the pics I tried yesterday were too big. The idlers are basically brand new maybe 4 hours on the whole motor since its been rebuilt and the bearings in the tensioners look fresh out the box

Any ideas on where I can get a camshaft gear and possibly a camshaft? I'm thinking the camshaft warped when it overheated causing this headache

Sorry not the pully the chamshaft gear is screwed up

OK new update and it was the timing off about a 1/4 turn and not only that the belt had about 1/8th of an inch strand come loose and somehow flared out the timing gear that the bet rides on. Never seen something like this before

I have a coworker and mechanic looking at it this weekend to try and diagnose the issue. If the timing did indeed jump how do I tell if it did or not?

Update; still not starting. Connected the vacuum hose to this thing next to the distributer looks like a diafram (looking at an old pic of my motor I seen the hose connected there) I will most probably bring it to a coworkers friends shop to get it looked at BC I'm about 1 more thing gone wrong with this boat before I pull the plug and let it sink lol

OK guys thanks for all your suggestions. Last night I checked for spark, pulled a puld out and bright blue spark so I had one for sure and as I was crossing over to check the fuel system and the other plugs I found a random hose in the back of the boat(it was dark when the motor stopped working so couldn't really investigate) but the hose looked burned but wasn't melted almost as if it was friction that caused the indention and hole in the hose but what did it go to? So the only logical thing I could think of that was rotating was the propeller shaft and the belts and the shaft is really far from the motor so I investigated the belt and behold the vaccum advance line on the front of the weber carb was missing. I guess the line was a little to close and wore itself down and eventually the belt ripped the completely off which would explain the low popping noise I heard right as the motor died. So I am assuming this was the problem and I am also assuming that that coughing that was happening was due to the hole that the belt put in the line, but another question fellas. There is a larger hose with some sort of flange attached to it coming off of the oil fill side of the engine that I seen on most ea82s is connected to the flange on the carb and mines is not. I would assume my sub mechanic knew this was not an issue but just curious to you guys's opinion on whether or not I should place it on the carb or not and if you could give me an idea on what any of these hoses I've talked about is I'd appreciate it, I like to learn what I'm fixing rather than just knowing peg a in slot b fixes it. Thanks again guys I'll post pics and possibly a video for you guys too

Newbie here. I have an ea82 in a mudboat in south Louisiana and I basically wired and installed it myself (minus the mechanics) the motor was put in by a professional and basically his business is repairing and installing sub's in mudboats so he's good at it. Now I wired everything and took her for a ride the other day and it went fine at about 5mph(we were idleing the whole trip mostly) about half way through the trip I forgot something in my truck and ran wide open to the truck and she did fine there and back but on the way back when I slowed down it overheated and spewed coolant out of the day tank resevoir so I let it cool slowly and put fresh coolant in and she ran the next 3 hours at 180°f and was purring beautifully. on the way back from our trip I opened her up again and was actually pulled back on the throttle a little so my friend could stay with me in his boat and about 3-5 minutes into running I heard a pop noise the motor killed and would not start again. Like I stated I'm a newbie and understand the basics of this engine but I am dumped as to what the problem is. I will remove the thermostat this evening and check my spark but past that I'm out of ideas as to what that pop noise was. There is no water in the oil either so I don't think the issue is huge its just to pin point what it is. So any help and advice would be great right now, duck season opens Saturday in my area and I really don't want to boat hop for too long this year. Thanks
