WHAT is going on?

Working on Johnson J15RLCTA. Many issues, including spun flywheel key.
I cannot get the flywheel off, but in inspecting it, I noticed something truly bizarre for my experience with J&E outboards.

The flywheel has no timing marks. I cannot find anything to indicate where TDC is on this flywheel, nor are there any degree marks.

Anyone see this before, and what do you do about it?

Here is an EBay listing for the flywheel, with pics of the top and bottom...

Well, lacking any response here, I decided to root out the answer myself.

Went to my friendly local Evinrude dealer, borrowed the 1983 service manual, and looked up the answer.

For 2 thru 15 hp engines, there is no maximum WOT timing adjustment. Only setting will be to set the pickup point at the throttle roller.

So, no timing setting, no timing marks needed.

There you go.

So, lacking any response here, I decided to root out the answer myself.
Went to my local friendly Evinrude dealer, and borrowed their factory service manual for 1983.

Turns out, for 2 thru 15 hp engines, there is no maximum WOT timing adjustment.
So, no adjustment required, no timing marks...

There you go.
