Reply To: Getting my 1960 Evinrude 3 hp running…

A 3-bolt puller is cheap at an auto parts store, and good enough for your little 3hp. It sounds like your coils are probably shot (cracked).

The two knobs are not rocket science. Simply set them where it runs the best at high and idle speed. But it will never run right until you replace those cracked coils (if they are).
