1997 Mercury 40, 4 cylinder 2 stroke. Does anyone know the timing specs? No decals or info on the flywheel cover.

Time to get the mercury manual.
Is there anything wrong with your motor,does she run?
This forum can fix your motor without adjusting the timing, you just have to tell us whats wrong with your motor? Let us help you,get back on the water.

She does in fact run, but I’m kind of skeptical about the timing because both idle adjustment and max adjustment were loose when I bought it and I wanted to verify it was correct or within spec. I do believe idle is 0-9* atdc, the rest to me is unknown.

On my 68 merc200 20hp when I remove the lock on chrome front cover it has the timing underneath. This is not the wrap around cover its the small piece you push button down to remove..
