Re: Evinrude Lightwin problems

If there’s any advice I can give you, is to remember you may have multiple problems going on at once with this motor. Go 1 system at a time to eliminate issues systematically.

Make sure mechanically the motor is OK (gearcase/powerhead/etc).
Make sure your timing is set right between fuel/ignition.
Fix your ignition system first.
Fix your fuel system next.
Run the motor, now check the cooling system or other issues (i.e. exhaust flow plug, etc).

If it isn’t running right, or new problems are revealed, go them one at a time (i.e. calibrate carb, listen for rod-knock, etc).

Otherwise you’re going to start to hate working on these things!
