Um ok thanks for the thought and effort but that video is in German or something and my engine does not even look like that. Is this the best answere I can get for simple timing specs from this site?

Why are you timing it. Timing is set mechanically and does not go out unless something catastrophic happend. Not to mention do you have the fast start on that motor.

I'm not sure what fast start is but it has electric and pull start. I'm just doing and all over mantiance on the engine and thought I would check it. I just removed the flywheel and cleaned the corrosion of the coils and connection points to the starter plate. I did not touch the timing. Why is the timing specs on this engine so secret? : )

Timing on outboards does not go out of adjustment.----Set at the factory for the life of the motor.-----Perhaps the reason for little information on the subject.
