Is your motor an 88 model ?-----Model # is ??

The motor does not need 12 volts to run.----Just needs 12 volts for the starter to crank it over.-----Most outboard have a stop switch / button to short the ignition to ground to stop them.

I would say you do not have spark on #1 and #3 cylinder.----Should be easy to figure out I think.

There was a service bulletin in 1994 to move the tell tale fitting from the side of the block to the top.---Factory kit 0432955 has all the bits and information to modify / improve cooling on this motor.

Agreed----You are over thinking.-----The whole concept of taper ( locking ) fits is much mis understood !!----Just like many other " outboard motor " simple concepts.

The 68 model likely had no room under the flywheel for a charging coil.----

???----You might need a dial indicator to see how much it moves down when tightening the nut !

The model # shown makes it a 1968 model.----The electric shift models left the factory with the 10 mp generator.-----That generator was optional for the big twin model.

There were issues with them.-----Many were converted with a kit with a conventional belt driven alternator.

The second picture appears to show where it should be.----But folks have been known to leave them out.----Agreed it needs a new impeller after sitting all these years.

There may be a significant expense in haulout / yard / mechanic service fees.-----
