Need to replace damaged spark plug wires on 1976 evinrude 4hp . What are best type to replace with and where can i get them at a fair price. I cant find exact specs or any info on replacements.
I used auto wires (resistive type) once way back when, before I knew better. Ran great for about 10 minutes. These magnetos require metal strand plug wires.
Not hard to find the correct wire at all.-----And you need to put the new wire into the coil before the coil is set in place.----And the coils must be set it the correct place for proper clearance with magnets.
align coils on bases otherwise they will rub on the flywheel. your fingernail should not snag going up or down the face of the base and coil if aligned properly !!!
also critical is to tuck in the coil primary wires to the points away from the rotating cam
. These magnetos require metal strand plug wires.
