Re: Evinrude 5520 Oil Wick Clip

[DAN ANDERSON]

Bucaneer, I see a few things I wonder about. If I put them here them everyone can comment. The wick needs to be considered as to drag with the crank in a clockwise rotation. I’m like Garry, I think either post is made the same. Never have looked to make sure. I’ve never noticed the green wire put on that way (over the top). Not saying it’s wrong, just never done it that way. I don’t like to put a strain on the ground leads when I tighten them on the coil laminates. Again the green wire on your #2 coil looks to have pulled the the sheath back at the coil? May just be an optical illusion. That would be very important. Let’s see what everyone else thinks.
