Timing and Sync of 1972 85hp outboard

[joshrogel]

All,

What is the best way to sync of the carbs with the timing. I know there is an order that you want to go in, but unsure of what order that is?

I checked the timing and its way out. Another question is, the adjustment pointer, is this where you take the timing reading from. Or, is there another spot?

Thanks in advance.

It is all in the Factory Service Manual, Josh. Trying to service an outboard without one is a foolish mission.

You want the linkage and synchronization procedure, which differs from model to model and may be unique for some.

HAHA, I have a manual. It says to do it in an order, but its not too clear of what that order should be. I will look at it again.
Thought maybe someone might have a list of an order.

Thanks for the reply.
