'59' Super Sea Horse questions

[nicnbj]

I am going to replace the points, condenser and ignition coil, what special tools will I need once the starter assembly has been removed (aside from the basic wrench and sockets)? The manual says flywheel puller but I'm sure I will need other tools. Also, do I get all these tools from any tool store or do I need to go to someplace special? Any comments about prices would also be of help.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />BJ

You will need a screwdriver and a feeler gauge with .020" gauge in it to set the points. It sounds like you have the manual so just follow the instructions.

Re: '59' Super Sea Horse questions

double check if the lower unit on the '59 35 and the '59 fifty are the same(I think they are).<br />If so,the clutch dog # is 305105.<br />good luck.

You need the flywheel puller and also a flywheel holder. These are available from local Evinrude and Johnson dealers. They are NOT cheap.<br /><br />Also, if you move the coils, there is another special tool you need to realign the coils called a locator ring, from the same dealers.

The 35 and 50 lower units are not similar - the 50hp leg is a monster.<br /><br />As for the flywheel puller, you can use a regular harmonic balancer 3-point puller. Use some 1/4"20 Allen bolts and some hefty washers to keep them from pulling through. Puller can be gotten at Sears, NAPA, etc.<br /><br />For aligning the coils, simply make sure the laminates are flush with the machined edge of the armature plate so that you can't feel the ridge with your fingernail...<br />- Scott
