Was that a top speed of around 50 MPH ? I just bought a 23’ boat with that exact same motor with the 290A Sterndrive I haven’t taken out on the water yet but the motor sounds like a sewing machine 😁 it just purrs. I’ll be ecstatic if I get 30 out of a 4 cylinder motor 🤯.
it says it right on the decal on the carbs cover; 2 values,1 at low RPM (800rpm, 6º??) and 1 at some 3000 RPM(???) ,(36 or 38º????) but do look it up; you need a strobe light to do it,there are good markings on the crank pulley,paint them white,together with the small reference slot on the edge of the pulley; if no strobe,static setting could be 6º to 8º BTDC when the spark jumps on nr 1, when you rotate the engine by hand.
plz make my volvo work like this 😁

How do you set the distributor?
