This is what I have on the Elto handitwin – – –




And the Evinrude equivalent – Sportwin.




Lubrication –

The recommended Champion CJ-7 spark plug was replaced by the D-16 which is now Champion 526.
The spark plug gap is 0.025″ and the breaker points should be set at 0.020″ The primary coil windings should be under 5 ohms – secondary resistance in read through the high voltage wires and should be in the neighborhood of 5,000 ohms. Much lower resistance indicates some windings may have shorted, lowering the output voltage.THe soft iron magnets can loose there charge if handled carelessly. An iron “Keeper” should be placed across the magnets whenever the flywheel is off the outboard. BE SURE TO REMAVE IT WHEN THE FLYWHEEL IS REPLACED. Flywheel nut torque is 25 foot pounds.
The factory cork seals in the lower unit (Gear case) are not that great – grease is used and I like John Deere Corn Head Grease available at Tractor Supply . . . SAE 40 wt. non-detergent oil mixed with unleaded fuel at a 24 to one ratio. (1/3 of a pint to the gallon) These are the carburetor specs – – –
