I was reading in a manual that they suggest using a dial indicator to set wot and idle timing. I have always used my timing light backing a boat down into the water on the trailer and letting it idle adjusting the scew and then wot on the trailer. My timing gun seems easier than using a dial indicator. Am I missing something using my timing gun?
