hi
I am about to do some work on a 1100 cc cross flow engine (in a 1971
Freeman 23 river boat) which will mean taking the distrubutor off.
Does anyone have the correct static timing for this engine? I realise that
the marina version timing might be different from the car version but at
least its somewhere to start from!
cheers

the bulb just goes out on No 1 cylinder. That is the current timing. Put a
dab of Tippex or similar as a timing mark under the timing pointer (there
must be one, even on a marine engine, but it might be on the flywheel rather
than the crankshaft pulley)..
Then when you put the distributor back, you can reset the timing so that
your Tippex dot lines up with the pointer again. Whatever the setting should
be in numbers, at least you know you have reset it to the same setting you
had before.
