Which manual do i Need for a 65ESL 72S? I found an Version online in a PDF format that says it covers 1958-1972 models, but when I look at the ignition section, it has the 65HP as a V4 and not a 3 cylinder model.

Any help is appreciated!

You'll find your manual on Ken Cooks site:

Can't answer about the PDF you saw, except to say yes there were 65hp V4 motors made during that time period, as well as your 3-cyl model. Totally different, of course.

We might add that your 1972 was a bit of an one-year oddity in that it had MagCD ignition AND Hydro-Electric Shift, and took a special electric cable. Better stick with the model-specific OEM manual (Ken Cook).

Thanks man. Im having no spark issues and the couple youtube vidoes i saw point to the Stator, but would love to walk through the trouble shooting in the manual to be certain.
