So the project and learning experience is A 1992-1994 Force 40 2stroke single carb and Its for a home built boat project and I got the engine free off of craigslist. WIN, I think. lol. So before I go digging into her the first thing I did was check the timing under these conditions: engine on land in a trash can, filled with water, prop is on, using the starting motor to crank the engine over, full battery, I also have 2 other batteries that I swapped around for the test. . . (so full battery was guaranteed), Plugs removed, and plug wires grounded out. The Timing light is set on 0. My timing reads 0 in neutral with the carb Closed and 28 at WOT on the left hand side of the 0 TDC marking on the fly wheel (still not in gear). Those readings are at the Zero line on the timing sticker.
 
The 28 is probably right.
Over on iboats Force forum are some specs.
The first 3 posts are the repair and maint. of Force motors.
