Hi All, I am new to this site and was hoping that someone could clear something up for me.Do I check the timing on my 1988,50 Horse Force with the motor running at WOT in the water,or with the plugs out at WOT? :confused:

Alvin, I believe the best way is wot in the water not on a hose. You should buy a manual for your motor if you plan on keeping it for any length of time.<br /><br />Rich
