[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 374663, member: 9169"] I had to adjust the timing on my 1994 Johnson 50/35 after my buddy and I completely rebuilt it. It involves using a timing light connected to the #1 spark lead and running the engine at WOT in forward gear. You point the timing light on the flywheel timing "grid" and then adjust the length of the spark control rod up or down to advance/retard timing as needed. Your manual will tell you where it should be at. IIRC, mine didn't need a lot of adjustment but it definitely helped. We also fine tuned the carburetor linkage and idle adjustment all at the same time. [/QUOTE]
