SELOC Manuals are for orientation, they are junk for real detailed service procedures.

Get the Factory Manual: www.outboardbooks.com

Some of the V4 crossflows did not have a threaded rod or bolt to adjust max timming. One end of the rod had a choice of 3 holes in the linkage. Still need a manual.

The CDs are pirated (stolen), sometimes factory. In any case they are illegal without copyright license, which belongs to outboardbooks.com.
