when you bring idle timing down idle will more than likely come down if not adjust idle.

Thanks I'm going to set it all up again and see how it idles. Also when I pulled my plugs I noticed that there was barely any fuel on them they almost looked brand new but there was fuel. I went and did a compression test and it checked good. Is this normal or should I be seeing more on the plugs? I just rebuilt the carb's also

I'm waiting for my Manuel to come in. Is there anywhere I can download one? Trying to get it done by Thursday.
Had a little time to mess with it tonight. I stopped by my local merc shop and they printed out the info for me. Did the sync and link then checked timing I get 4 at idle and about 23 at wot. My idle when the motor is running is around 850. I should drop when it's in the water. How far off am i?
Should be very close. Make sure you set the timing pointer (using a dial indicator) before starting.
