Hello,
Spend a weekend on this outboard and the power head looks good after a good cleaning.
* Polish the points and readjust the point gaps, got a strong blue spark.
* Clean up all the old grease under the magneto and put the new grease on.
* Recondition the magneto plate so no more armature plate wobble.
* Torque the flywheel nut to 40ft lb. (please let me know if it is correct. Just assume it will be the same as my 20 hp Johnson).
* Clean the carb but still use the old gaskets. I am looking for the new kit and found ii in Amazon.com. Is the Sierra Carburetor Kit for Johnson/Evinrude Outboard Motors – 18-7043 good?
