I have a 85esl72r Johnson outboard. Should I "link and Sync" first or time the engine first. When I accelerate is cuts out. Carburetor kits come next weekend, ( Had them rebuilt last year). The kill switch I just moved it to allow the motor to turn over in neutral. I think that is beginning of linkage not being set right. Yes shift works in forward and reverse. What is the correct timing procedure and proper adjusting of carburetor linkage? Yes I have a shop manual. No there is no mechanic in my area literally. Help with correct linkage pics and timing instructions and experience help ( beginner mistakes to avoid) would be appreciated. JQ
