Evinrude 1995 60hp triple
Model BE60TLEOC
Ive seen it wrote down now loads of times about timing the engines at full throttle while running on the water.
Now how on earth am i supposed to do that with a timing light while bouncing up and down in a 13ft boat ?
i suppose ill have to make a shield of some sort to stop any daylight where the timing light needs to be pointing.
But surely there is another way to do this.
at the factory they dont wind these engines up full throttle on the backs of boats do they ?
so must be a easier way to set max spark advance timing.
ive done the idle timing, now need to check the max spark advance.
and being as it stops way way before full throttle, why do i need to be at full throttle ?
is it a cdi thing altering it ?
Getting a bit confused again with this outboard timing stuff, but slowly getting there ha ha .
just cant see the need for the engine to be on boat travelling flat out.
even read where it said test tank no good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
