Advance timing

[ScaleReaper Fishing]

I am attempting to set my advance timing on my 1990 johnson 60hp using the reeve method. I downloaded a so called Manuel and it was no use. I trying to get the advance timing numbers for my motor.
Thank you

Off the top of my head I believe it’s either 26 or 28. I used to remember this stuff when I worked in them everyday.

Geez, now that I said that I’m starting to second guess myself, hopefully someone else can chime in on this.

I am thinking 19 deg

The timing normally does not go out of adjustment.------What is the issue with this motor ??

The guy i bought the boat from said he trying to adjust the butterflies. Thats when i informed him that he was adjusting the timing screw. I have no clue how far he adjusted the screw

 

[flyingscott]

So was he adjusting the one under the flywheel? Or one of the screws on the side for the throttle assembly?

 

[ScaleReaper Fishing]

The one under the flywheel with the rubber stopper

Ok 3 cylinder loopers are 19 deg +/- 1 deg

Every OMC Outboard(FICHTs being an exception) since the late 70s had the Max Timing on a Decal on the Air Silencer

Just want to make sure that 19 deg +or- 1 is my max advance timing.
