1959 Lark - Points Setting

[Steve fortin]

Hi Gent's, I have a 1959 40 hp Evinrude Lark and there isn't a timing mark on the flywheel to start the procedure, does anyone know a different method to setting the points, or where I can purchase a 40 hp timing fixture?
any help will be greatly appreciated, Steve.

richardsoutboardtools.com if you want to buy a timing fixture. OR simply set the points to open 0.020" at their widest opening, "good enough" in most cases.
