Simple Question: I'm setting the timing of my 1993 Force 90 by cranking. After connecting all the spark plug leads to my spark tester to avoid damaging the CD units, my question is should the spark plugs be left in or out? Obviously the starter will crank the engine must faster with the plugs out. I have set the timing with the plugs in - however the performance is certainly off with a dead spot in the middle of the acceleration curve - very much smells like a timing issue.<br /><br />Thanks
