Timing Verification - BRP EVINRUDE E-TEC 115 HP 2011 Service Manual

Rotate the flywheel clockwise until the piston
contacts the tool. Mark the flywheel directly across
from the pointer. Label this mark "B." Rotate fly-
wheel counterclockwise slightly to release tool
then remove it from spark plug hole.
Use the cast in markers on the flywheel to calcu-
late the exact center between marks "A" and "B."
Mark and label the center point "C."
If mark "C" and the cast-in TDC boss on flywheel
are in alignment, the timing pointer is in the cor-
rect location.
If the pointer alignment is NOT correct, rotate the
flywheel clockwise to align the mark "C" with the
pointer. Hold the flywheel in this position. Loosen
the pointer retaining screw and adjust the pointer
location to align with the cast-in TDC boss on the
flywheel. Tighten retaining screw.
