Hi Paul was right I was on Kelley's Island so I wasn't able to see the forum this weekend I don't know who said the Q motor number 1 cylinder is in the rear but mine is in the front left side first cylinder and he was right about the punch mark for timing it is to be timed at 500 rpm 10 degrees before top dead center or when you have the light on it the punch mark should be at the indicator the punch mark is 10 degrees btdc there will be multilple puch marks in the flywheel the port motor uses the L mark the Starboard uses the R mark. It helps if you put some red paint or something in the puch mark. By the way everone mine are now running fine the distrbutor was out of whack it was actually firing 2 cylinders at a time once I got it right no more problems and hey Paul both motors now start with out even touching the throttle All I do is turn the key and they start. Tim was amazed he said he has never seen motors that start that easy the boat sat for 2 weeks and Tim and I went on it Thursday night I told him watch this and reached down and turned the starboard motor key it didn't even make a full revolution and it started.
Also the Qmotor manual is here
