Default Setting the timing on a 1996 50 force / Mercury
Can someone explain in detail where to adjust the timing I understand also a regular timing light that I use on my vehicles wont fly is that right?

It is very difficult to set the timing on a outboard.Unless someone has changed it,you shouldn't mess with it.What's the motor doing that you suspect the timing is out?
