Evinrude 15hp Points

What position should the throttle be in when setting the points? I'm not sure of the year, maybe 1975. Model# 1565A, Serial# C75924. Thanks.

To set points it is usually correct to turn flywheel while viewing the points till they open the maximum amount.

Re: Evinrude 15hp Points

I must remove the fly wheel to access the points. The drive shaft extends through the top of the motor and has a cam on top. The cam has a mark "set" on it.The cam opens the points. The points move on a plate which is turned as the throttle is changed. This changes the timing. The position of the throttle must be important when setting the points.

Re: Evinrude 15hp Points

You set the points when the cam's little set mark is aligned with the point rubbing block.<br /><br />The throttle, and moving points plate, is all about ignition timing and the carb link-and-sync process described in your manual that you will need to read to understand.
