So .... this motor so far has been so buggered I don't trust any things right. To time this thing the Clymer manual says you need special tool in spark plug hole. Ya.....like you'll ever find one of those! There is one hash mark on the flywheel... a sticker on the block with a TDC mark and 2 hash marks before and 2 after TDC on that sticker. No mention in manual of any of this. What is an alternative way to set this thing to 28 degs at WOT? I did this for a living for 42 yrs... but not outboards. Degree wheel .. dig out my old snowmobile spark plug timing kit that measured in thousandths of piston travel. Everything so far on this engine has been completely out of whack. I sure don 't want to burn it up. It looks brand new!
