Well I pulled the magneto and found it to be very dirty. Pretty sure the coil is good because it shocked me when I spun the splines by hand (accident). I dressed the points and set them with a multi meter because I am not good enough to do it by hand at.010. The mag cover is cracked so I will need another one of those. I put it together and checked spark and it fire a blur spark 7/16". Squirted a little fuel in the carb and she fired and ran on the first pull for about 5 seconds.
Now I need to figure out how to get the prop off. The lower unit is frozen and I cant get the prop off after I take off the nut and the tab washer. Is there a secret. I used lots of PB Blaster and some heat and light prying. No go. Is it easier to find a different lower unit if I can get the prop off of this one?
