1965 9522c 9.5 Evinrude

[Asterope8]

I just took my flywheel off to replace the coils and now I am having trouble getting a spark. I replaced everything inside but I don't think that I am reassembling it correctly. What is the .020 set point mean? How do I set it and what point do I set it to?

Here are a couple good threads from the Top Secret Files

You set the points one at a time. The 020 measurement is when the rubbing block for the points is aligned with the flywheel key. An 018 feeler gauge should slide through loose, and 020 just right, and you should not be able to get a 022 gauge through. After set, run a business card dipped in acetone through them to clean them. Even fingerprints limit spark. They need to be spotless. The coils heel laminations should be flush with the edge of the mounting boss or you will have limited spark. Plug wires and springs check out ok? Good continuity throughout circuit? Twist plug wire into coil to ensure good contact with pin?

Not professional videos, but they can help guide you through ignition diagnostics and repair. The motor in the video is a 1968 Johnson 6hp.

I posted this to help another member, it may help you with the ignition.






Hopefully will give you a visual and help you some.

Sorry the camera and video edit software was not all that great. It is very hard to see the spark when I am checking with the spark checker, but in the end I get both set of spark plugs to fire even though you may not be see them. Anyway, I think you will get a good idea how to work on OMC ignition from 1950 to 1973. I know I repeat a lot and videos are a little long, so I had to break each segment into 10 min. I am not that good a videoing or editing.

Hope it helps anyway. Oh, sorry about the caption that the video edit was not activated so it is a little distracting.

Cheers, hope y'all have fun working on old outboards!!!



***[highlight]Oh, by the way, I cleaned the carburetor and connected it to the fuel tank and it started on the 2nd crank!!! It may look old but she will be a runner!!![/highlight]
