    1983 Mercury 115 setting wot timing?

    When doing a link and sync on my 115 Mercury inline6 it says to set the timing to 21 degrees btdc which I understand but says to err to side of caution. Does that mean you would be better to set at 22btdc or 20btdc?

    1983 mercury 115 has week spark on #2 4 6 cylinders when doing spark test. I have switched out blue and red stator wires to rule that out. Also switched power packs from top 2 bottom and still weak on 2 4 and 6 with no change. I'm assuming it isn't normal for it to be weaker on bottom than top...
