I am not sure on the ignition timing indicator.   Not sure how to tell to be honest.   I've set timing on older v8 engines plenty.   What am I looking for?  Is TDC measured by the top or bottom piston?

All timing is set via the Top piston. 

 

This indicator is fixed

 

This one is adjustable.

I am not seeing any timing indicators.

Are there numbers on the flywheel?

The last few weekends have been occupied with kid's events,  so I couldn't do much to Frankenstein.     I got busy this evening after work.   I was able to remove the power head, as well as the lower unit.  Tomorrow I will install the replacement power head,  clean and rebuild the carburetor and the fuel pum, as well as replacing the impeller and housing.   Gonna order the forgotten thermostat,  then he should be ready to run strong.

Aren't most boat outboards "She/her", or are they "they/them" ?  

Can't wait to read the rest of this saga, I am always impressed with the help this group gives to each other...
