How to set the timing on an Evinrude Starflite 1961 75HP

[CalOdin]

Hello,

I am a new member that found this forum while looking for help with my Evinrude as mice chewed up my timing belt.

I have a new belt on the way, but I know it needs to be timed correctly once i have the belt.

Please advise and thanks in advance!
Cal

Need to know which motor you have (model number?). There were a couple of kinds that year. Does yours have the Unicharger? The Unicharger has a flywheel with round holes all around the outer diameter like windows on a flying saucer, and the distributor cap is on top, above the timing belt. The standard model has a flatter flywheel, no portholes, and the distributor hangs downward with the plug wires coming out the bottom.

The model is "Starflite", the manual also says "MODELS 50926-50927"

I will check.


Thanks!!

Yes is has the Uni-Charger.

I cannot find any information on how to time it, and would love to this weekend.

Please advise,
Cal

There are some members on here that have the info and maybe they will chime in. If I was there I could do it , but to hard for me to explain on here. Can't type that long.

Anyone?

Also, Boobie, would you be willing to take a phone call? PM me your number and I am willing to make the call.


Thanks to all,
