    i assume you mean the timing plate, but description is poor. you can see complete diagrams and part #s here. http://shop2.evinrude.com/ext/index....cfd8a6471c0f7f

    I really dont know what to call this thing. Thats why i posted asking what it is. THIS thing is a roung tube with a rod that hooks to the cdi and the carb plate bracket. it has the rod in it with a spring and the end has a knob that twist.

    take a picture of it, and a full picture of that side of the motor so we can see where it is.

    Much like this boat motor stuff. Computers im not good with. I dont know how to add pitcures to the site. This thing i took it off. It was on the right side of the motor. It has a rod and spring in the middle. That rod hooked to the timing plate. And the other end had the knob that twisted to adjust the timing. That is where it broke. Ive looked in the manual and that web site. i cant find what its called i see it in the book but it doesnt name it. sorry i cant send the pic,

    I see all that linkage stuff shown on the BRP Johnson parts website, but I'm not smart enough to know what you are describing. It is shown on the cylinder and crankcase page.

    Look your motor up on shop.evinrude.com and go to the "cylinder and crankcase" section. I believe you are talking about part #91 and #81 and all the parts associated with the "spark advance link".

    That rod adjusts the idle by changing the timing at idle. It's setting (at idle) has no effect on top end timing (full advance) at all.

    Just go to a newer year. They changed the design but they all do the same thing.

    Yes, all the way through to 1999 (if off a Johnson). Maybe even later....
    The new design is better, too.
