" Hello from Oz. Could anyone tell me where the spark should fire on a manual start 1985 40HP Twin 2 Stroke? Before TDC, at TDC or after TDC? Thanks in advance, Alan. "
 
Alan...two stroke outboards n

Alan...two stroke outboards normally have the spark fire just before TDC for a proper burn of fuel across the piston face. Your timing should be set properly to insure this. The motor (going by the year you supplied) should be a Yamaha built outboard for mariner...PS I'm curious why you should ask this?...DJ
 
" DJ, I am adjusting points ga

" DJ, I am adjusting points gap on both cylinders and looking to have optimum timing to run engine and avoid kickback ... because it breaks ropes and hurts like hell! Alan "
