Is there a Marine Timing light i need to use?
Just any timing light, can rent from an auto parts store pretty cheap

In addition to a timing light, you will need a Dial Indicator Setup so that you can properly set the timing pointer. This is the first (and perhaps most important) step.

Not having any luck finding the settings for idle and WOT?
Before you touch anything, you need to buy a mercury service Manuel for your specific motor, no online stuff or clymars and do some homework. I cant stress this enough. This is no lawn mower motor you are working on
In my workplace The others know I can give them quick easy answers, What I do is direct them to the service manuals for their answers and force them to look it up, then I will clarify and explain further as needed.
While finding their answer they learn many other things in the process
Thank You Leon Pugh
A genuine factory service manual will run you about $100, provide you with ALL the information you need so you don't have to take to a shop for something you can do yourself. Frequently say it's the best $100 you'll ever spend on your engine.Originally Posted by BassCatSabreDon

+++3. When I was starting out as an apprentice, the absolute best thing that I learned was where the file cabinet full of service manuals was located, and how to find information in the correct manual. I learned 3 times as much that way... and retained a LOT more of the information.
