    Maximum timing advance

    I have a 1984 evinrude 115 and for some reason the max timing advance is not listed for this motor. The manual goes up to 60 horse or so and then stops. Does anyone know what this is suppose to be set at and if it needs to be backed off 4 degrees for today's fuel? Thanks!!
