TIMING ADJUSTMENTS

Timing Pointer

The timing pointer must be adjusted to indicate
top dead center (TDC) of the number 1 piston.
This reference to the position of the number 1 pis-
ton is used to synchronize the electronic timing
controlled by the EMM with the mechanical posi-
tion of the number 1 piston.
Use the Evinrude Diagnostics Software program
to verify and adjust timing. Refer to the software's
help system for outboard timing verification proce-
dures.
