For a 1997 Force 75 HP outboard, the ignition timing at full throttle (WOT) should be set to approximately 28° BTDC (Before Top Dead Center). At idle, it’s usually around 2°–4° BTDC, depending on the exact carb and link setup.
If your model has been modified or has electronic ignition changes, always double-check against the specific data in the service manual. The manual covers detailed timing specs, procedures, and troubleshooting for ignition timing issues. Super useful when tuning or rebuilding 👍🏻
