Everything and every search I've done says it's fine using as premix. . "Evinrude XD100 is a premium synthetic 2-stroke oil designed primarily for Evinrude E-TEC and Evinrude Direct Injection (DI) outboard motors. It can also be used in older Evinrude/Johnson FICHT fuel-injection engines...

In another thread I posted that my timing was way too retarded. I used the "Joe Reeves" method and set the timing at 23 degrees BTDC. It was somewhere around 18. . I installed a tach and took it out today. WOT puts me at around 5300 rpm. .

Ha! Yes! If you have dyslexia. 😜 . Yeah, it's actually left to right.

Hmm... I'll have to look into that

I was a little worried that I grabbed the wrong can. I've been using Pennzoil mineral 2-stroke oil, but I figured I'd try full synthetic with my new to me 1994 Johnson. It wasn't much different in color when mixed. So I mixed one gallon of Full Synthetic and one gallon of the Pennzoil mineral. ...

Thanks for the update.

I checked the flywheel to verify it's groove lined up with the key in the shaft. Looks good. . I then re-verified the TDC mark on the flywheel lines up correctly with the pointer when I am at true TDC. . I advanced the throttle linkage as far as it will go. The roller in the slot is tight...

I cleaned both the shaft and hole in the flywheel with acetone. Let it dry and then re-installed the flywheel - making sure the key stayed lined up with the groove in the hole in the flywheel. I then used a recommended sealer on the threads for the flywheel nut. Tightened down in stages until I...

Thanks It's 105 foot pounds for torque. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything and if the key looks good to others. 1994 Johnson 90hp v4 Crossflow

Oh, and yes, I understand the key isn't what keeps the flywheel from spinning on the shaft. It's the binding of the taper of the shaft along the correct torque value. So the reason for making sure no oils, etc, between the mating surfaces.

I wanted to make sure I'm going to reinstall the flywheel correctly. . I read some threads about lapping, but I understood that to only be required when trying to pair up a new flywheel to the existing crankshaft. . The OMC Manual just says to clean it with their product. Others suggest acetone...

Thanks for posting an update. I'm intending to wire up a tach and have been watching this thread.

Edit.. I just Don't want to be too advanced to cause harm.

I also did the piston stop procedure where you turn the flywheel until it stops, make a mark, and then again on the upstroke. Then measure the distance in half for true TDC. I just want to be too advanced to cause harm. I double check everything and just put it on 24 degrees BTDC. It just...

I'm also bottomed out here.

I'll have time Monday to verify if the flywheel is still correctly lined up with the woodruff key.

Please be blunt... The only reason I'm looking at the timing is as l mentioned in another thread, I feel like this motor isn't reaching it's full power. . Using the Joe Reeves method, I was setting at 18 degrees before TDC, when I should be at 24. Motor specs is 28, so I should be at 24 with...

Throttle Plates are horizontal - they are fully open when I bottom out at the very top of the slot.

I really can't see how I can get any more WOT if I'm up tight against the top of the slot.

I'm just starting out myself. Those are the shafts attached to the butterflies. . I wouldn't adjust anything you don't know what it is. . But, before you adjust anything, go around your motor and take a picture of everything. That way if you do adjust something wrong, you can get back to where...
