I have a 1984 100HP commercial Johnson outboard. I cannot find the timing for this unit as it predates Bombardier's records. I have several timing specs from 18 degrees BTDC to 26 degrees BTDC. I am lacking pickup out of the hole and don't seem to be getting good top end speed and lack ability to plane out. Any suggestions as I just rebuilt the engine.
My info stops at '80 for the 100 HP model, so the commercial must be a separate entity as the spec's for the '84 model year only list a 90 and 115 hp but no 100, sorry.
Head over to http://themarinedoctor.com/ and ask, he should be able to give you the specifics you need, and he also has a good video on setting the static timing (beats hanging over the powerhead at WOT with a timing light) as well as numerous others....
That's funny as I lived down on the West Central coast for almost 7 years and I really miss it at times... (including the second half of fall, all winter, and a good part of spring!)
