Hey guys. I know this is an old post, but its pretty spot on with what im dealing with, so i figured id give it a shot. I just put a 96ish Force 120 on my pontoon, and the guy i got it from insisted i do the timing. I didnt realize that til after running the boat a bit, didnt notice anything wrong as it ran great. So I went back and setup for the timing, and it was at about a little over 10ish I think. After asjusting I got it up to the recommended 28 at WOT and it ran extremely high, and knocked some when you have it any throttle. I adjusted jt back down tk where it idled just right, which was a bit higher than it had been previously set (it did have low idle b4 and stalled once or twice), and it ran great all day.
Do I need to be worried about anything else? Is there something else I can adjust to make it idle right at 28? Am I risking damage by running it under 28? I never did think to check it at neutral, looking back I should have. But I do want to make sure I dont waste this motor, as it replaced another 2 stroke with oil injection problem that burned up.
Also, as for the mixture. I have been doing 1 quart for every 12.3 gallons and 1 pint for 6.15 gallons, putting the oil in 1st to mix, all non ethanol gas. It does seem 2 smoke a bit at times, but seems 2 run strong, no problems whatsoever.
