Re: 1960s Evinrude 6 hp Fisherman

I’m not sure why swapping the timing cam and flywheel would help.

He had spark on one cylinder with the other mag plate, that indicates that those two pieces are operating as they should. The fact that he had spark on one cylinder even indicates that the timing cam is installed the right way up (mgsolakis, it can be installed upside down.) If it were upside down it would open the points when the magnet was in the wrong spot so it wouldn’t spark.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it makes sense to me.
