How do I use the Joe Reeves timing method (where you don't have motor running) on a 1990 J120TLES? I read in the searches that you have to disable the "quick start" I can't reach WOT (only about 3500rpm) and I want to verify MSA before buying props. Thanks, John

Disconnect the white/black wire at the port temp sensor. The final check still should be at 4500/5000 rpms at full throttle.

My guess is that your problem is somewhere else if you are getting only 3500 rpm at WOT. Check the basics - - compression/fuel spark.
