Word to the wise, My 63 200 with a 22hp ph I cleaned the mag plate spotless & assembled. I used mineral oil directive c for lubing the pivot point. The mag plate was not bonded well to the crank case & a reverse current happened. One coil reversed potential & turned the other cylinder points gold they got so hot. I ran a bonding wire from mag to cylinder block to stop any resistance between components. Never had another problem. Hi voltage does weird tricks.
Corn Head grease is the best. Saw a U-tube video running exposed gears spinning with a garden hose watering it
& the lube was not washed out at all. I bought 105 & use it too but messy with a horse syringe packed from a 1 gallon can of 105. To remove from gearcase heat the case mildly.
