Re: 60ES 71C Timing
All I found was 22 degrees @ 4500 / spark plug-L76V/ Point Gap-.010 Hope it helps.
5-33 TIMING
" 60 hp - 1970 and 1971
The timing should not require adjustment
unless the spark advance screw has been
moved, or the amplifier has been changed
and an updated one installed. The timing
should be checked any time the ignition
system is serviced."
CAUTION
The engine MUST be mounted in a body
of water with a test wheel to make the
following adjustment. NEVER attempt to
run an engine at above idle speed with a
flush attachment connected or in a confined
test tank. Such practice, with a no-load
condition on the propeller, would cause the
engine to RUNAWAY causing serious damage
or destruction of the unit. The test
cannot be performed with the boat moving
through the water.
Water must circulate through the lower
unit to the engine any time the engine is run
"Allow the engine to warm to operating
temperature at 500 rpm. Increase engine
speed to full throttle, approximately 4500
rpm. The degree timing mark on the flywheel
should align with the mark on the
flywheel guard. If the marks do not align,
shut down the engine and move the adjusting
screw inward or outward just a wee bit."
