Generally the non-electric start Evinrude/Johnsons of that era did not have a 12v charging system. The spark is generated by a magnito. If your motor does have a regulated or non-regulated 12v output, it should have an inline fuse somewhere and a regulator or rectifier mounted near the powerpack.<br /><br />If you want to add charging capability, it generally involves swapping all the stuff under the flywheel and the flywheel with a motor that has a generator.
