replacing flywheel on 1990 90HP

[ERA]

ok im back with new question , last week i was in the water fishing and then the motor die so we tried to start it again but nothing then i notice the flywheel is not conected to the shaft and thats why it not firing up anymore , i took the fly wheel off and the key was all missed up and also the grove in the flywheel where the key goes , so i replaced the key and flywheel and even the nut my question is do i need to do any timing again ? which i dont know how , last time i did timing at the marine , its kinda high and smoky .

thanks

If you did not mess with the timing tower or the trigger advance plate, the timing should be OK. But it is highly recommended you do a verification using a timing light. Or better yet, read or watch the video on one of the sticky post showing how to do it. If you can loosen or tighten a screw, with this motor you can do the timing, no doubt!

Just be certain the flywheel nut is torqued to 90 foot pounds otherwise you will be replacing another key.
