I have Pearson 30 that I purchased a year ago. It was on the hard for three years with little attention before I bought it. I was impressed when the Atomic 4 started up fine once I charged the batteries.
After sailing the boat this spring I decided to have someone look over the engine and tune it up for me. After the 'tune up' the motor seemed slower to start (took more tries turning over before actually starting) and now only a couple of months later (only about 2 hours on the motor since July) it won't start at all.
The mechanic replaced the spark plugs, distributor, points etc. and changed the oil. Any ideas? The company that worked on it originally says that they won't get to the boat again to check it out for some time. I think I would be better off just doing the work myself!
