Hi everyone, I own a 1989 Merc 60hp OB240. I'm wanting to carry out a link and sync after replacing the trigger and stator but my Merc manual, like many, covers a lot of models and the information is conflicting. One picture labels the 3rd adjustment screw down on the spark arm as the primary pick-up with a timing adjustment, and the second picture labels the it as the secondary pick-up with a mechanical adjustment on the throttle cluster cam so I need to know which is the correct procedure for my motor if anyone would happen to know? It would be great if someone could also confirm the link and sync procedure in case my manual is completely wrong and if turning the adjustment screw clockwise advances or retards the ignition? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
