The correct timing makes a world of difference on these motors. Yep the upper screws are for the idle and WOT timing the lower two are for carb cam and roller adjustment and carb full open setting so the shutters don't become the stops. Congratulations on a successful video

I’ve had great results adding timing! Using 98octane and synthetic oil there’s a few hp to be had over factory! For customers that prefer cheap fuel I stick to factory settings

Awesome video, hard to find helpful videos like this. I was curious since I don’t have a timing light if I could do adjust the timing screw while it’s running on water? Motor runs like a top but starts and idles very rough
@donerightbydadproductions11 ай бұрын
Yes, absolutely you could do it in the water by ear. But I would recommend maybe checking out your carburetters first or a week fuel delivery.

Hello mate going to be doing the same adjustment on my mariner 50hp. Just a quick one when you set your TDC to 0 then explained about setting idle to 4 degrees was that to the left or right hand side of TDC? I’m assuming to the left is BTDC and the right is ATDC

The timing will be completely different for that as well as how to do the timing you’re gonna have to time each bank separately I don’t have much knowledge of it but I will. I’m sure one day as I have a 115 Evinrude v4. Dig into it and let me know what you find. I’d be very interested to know.

My motor splutters a bit when you put the hammer down, suspect it is timing, thank you to the video I understand it perfectly now, 200hp efi - idle timing is meant to be 0-9 ATDC (I'm guessing you set idle speed here hence the range) and max is 16 BTDC at cranking speed, 22 BTDC at WOT. - Will adjust this and see if it removes the spluttering response.

Also, what horsepower is the motor and what kind of prop is on the motor usually with most outboards it’s a you probably want a 17 pitch prop. If it takes a long time to get up and out of the water, usually it’s because you have the wrong prop. You probably have a 19 or bigger.
