Reply To: 1972 Evinrude High Speed Miss

Fleetwin – I probably didn’t articulate the problem well. The miss was starting at mid-range and continued up to WOT. I did check the throttle cam pickup and it was spot on. I adjusted the points and installed the magneto cam correctly so I think that will take care of the problem. Haven’t had a chance to run it again yet but should get it done later this week.

Still can’t believe I put the cam in wrong – it has TOP noted on it for a reason!! Reminds of the old joke about how some people need to have the bottom of their Coke bottles or can labeled “Open Other End”.
