I'm having some trouble with the idle on my 96 Evinrude 50/35 Outboard Jet. I have the factory service manual and going through the link and sync section it has how to check the maximum spark advance. It clearly states to do this the outboard must be operated with the proper test wheel. Do not operate with a propeller or flush adapter while performing this adjustment.
My question is how am I supposed to do this on my engine that has a jet impeller? It is pretty much always in gear and I have no idea what kind of test wheel would work. Do you just go hit the water and get it up to 5,000 RPM and check the timing with a test light while someone else is driving?
