No sir, the one I bought in December is a 76 Evinrude 15 hp. It runs, just wasn’t running on WOT. I pulled fuel pump on it yesterday,, it looked bad, gonna rebuild the pump on that one, Thx for remembering.
Boobie I don’t have one of those spark testers. I have the in-line that lights up. The one you’re referring to broke yesterday. I’ve put new coils, wires, points and condensers. I bought an old pressurized tank from a guy. It seems to be holding pressure. I know it’s pushing gas, but not sure how long it’s holding pressure? Make sense?
Get a good insulated handle screw driver and stick that in the end of the plug wire. Then hold the screw driver away from the block when cranking the motor to see what gap the spark will jump.
Yeah definitely feeler gauge, but I read on Leeroys ramblings to turn throttle all the way to fast position. I actually am doing that now and the number 1 piston coming up to TDC it lines up with the flywheel key which is where to set points.
