    I am an old hot rodder and have always messed with the timing on my cars; can I do the same with an outboard? My 28SPL calls for 30 degrees and I was wondering it I could give it a little more without damaging it? Thanks, Dan

    Running carbs dry for storage.

    I read a lot of storage info using the search and am confused about the different opinions on running the carbs dry.
