I would appreciate it if someone could post a pic of the timining marks !
I got it running pretty good but seems to be lacking a little when trying to get up on plain!
14' bayliner trophy ,50hp force
It seems to run great when I get it up gps speed is 38mph!
Prop is stock 12 1/2 293

Timing marks are missing ,thanks ! Love the siteit has been a great help with this!

Re: 1985 Force timing marks

Just read that if I set the points to .020 I don't have to worry about the timking marks is this true ,everything else is set to manual spec

I don't think an 85Force has points.Do a compression/spark test.There should be 3 little lines about a 1/4" apart on the flywheel.It's 32-30-28 reading L-R
Unless you messed with something the timing won't really change too much.
I'd start with the carb.The air screw should be turned out 7/8 -1 turn out.J

It'sa 1985 50hp Force? And you replaced the points?
The one I looked up doesn't have points.
