To set the timing on a 1967 Mercury 50hp outboard, first ensure the engine is in good condition and the spark plugs are clean. Use a timing light and connect it to the spark plug lead of the number one cylinder. Rotate the flywheel to align the timing marks on the flywheel with the mark on the engine's housing while adjusting the ignition timing to achieve the specified degrees before top dead center (BTDC) as indicated in the service manual. Finally, secure all components, recheck the timing, and ensure proper operation.
