NOTE: Timing/Synchronizing adjustments are the same for tiller and side shift models
unless otherwise specified.
1. Check all electrical connections to ensure they are tight and secure (including battery
connections on electric start models).
2. Shift outboard to “Neutral”, (on side shift model place throttle twist grip to “Slow”).
3. Push choke/primer all the way “In”. On models equipped with a primer, turn knob to

remove any slack.
