    Coil leads on a Phelon Magneto KG-7

    Anyone know which leads are which on this? I'm guessing the insulated wire goes to the points and the noninsulated is the ground? Maybe it's the other way around?

    Felt cam wiper for Phelon Magneto KG-7

    Anyone know of a good substitute for the felt cam wiper that goes in the Phelon Magneto? I've got a Wizard WG-7 (Merc KG-7). I've seen it listed as part number M-30-571, and as 398-723. Mine were missing in the motor I got,so I don't know what to size by. Thanks, Dean

    Help identify tilt and trim motor

    I have a 1976 Johnson 75 hp stinger, model 75elr76d. I don't believe that this motor came with tilt and trim, and the motor on it now is ruined. The hydraulic unit seems to work good, holds pressure, etc., so I only want to replace the electric motor. The motor base is 2 7/8" outside...

    The instructions that came with my carb kit said to snug up the low speed orifice (jet) then back it out one full turn. It says nothing about setting the high speed orifice (jet). My service manual doesn't say anything about this. Any ideas? Also, when you replace the plugs, do you seal them...
