Adjusting timing on 1988 force 125ph outboard.

[Josecaliente]

Good Evening all!
I read the forum by Frank in regards to synchronizing timing with carbs but im still a little lost. I’m at the “Adjust timing to 30 degrees before top dead center at full throttle” part. How exactly do I do that? Do I need special tools besides a timing light? Any info you could provide would be great. Thanks!

You just need a timing light and some hand tools.
The 125Hp, you adjust static in cranking speed to 28dgr BTDC.
It will end up with 30dgr when running WOT, but you can adjust in WOT too.
The adjustment is done at the top of the timing tower.
You length or shorten the rod that operate the trigger by the timing tower.
