1979 mercury model 70 70 hp outboard motor. Is there a way to test the switch box without running the engine? Also the flywheel has timing marks on it starting from TDC (464 ) and going to the right ( counter clockwise ) When I check the timing the marks move to the right away from my pointer?? Timing off ( This is at minimum idle )?? Any help will be appreciated.

Re: switch box testing?

A lot of the switch boxes can be tested with a ohm meter. but you have to know the values between the wire sets and you can find that is a service manual.
