Re: 1973 Evinrude 25 Point Set (Pics)
First, dress the point's surface with a piece of folded over 600 grit or so sandpaper. Then clean them with alcohol, acetone or chlorinated cleaner.
When you get the armature plate back on the block, turn the armature plate or crankshaft until one point opens up to it's maximum. This will happen when the flywheel key "points" to the point's rubbing block. When you've got that ste, adjust the point by turning the eccentric slot screw at it's base. It should be adjusted so a .020" feeler gauge slides between the point's faces, but a .022" one encounters resistance.
Flywheel nut torque is 45ft/lbs.
