Reply To: bottom cylinder fouling Big Twin 25hp

[The red boat]

I’ve had the Atoms on the motor for about 3 years now and they have been great.
I didn’t have any problems with the points but I had a hard time finding condensers for some reason.
I finally came across some and installed points and condensers and it was all fine. but a couple of these modules fell into my lap so I tried them out.
Like I said – 3 years on and they have not given me any issues. I really liked them. I also like removing the points in my old cars and substituting electronic ignition in them too.

When working they are really maintenance-free and the motor will put along at 400 – 500 rpm without a problem.

to answer fleetwin – It doesn’t appear that the crankcase has ever ben opened, it is a very clean motor with good paint and I don’t see much evidence of previous work. It came to me as just a powerhead and without a mag plate so perhaps the missing parts just got lost in the transition and I wasn’t knowledgeable enough to know they were supposed to be there.

I wont have time to test out the spark until next week but I’ll update everyone when I do. I’m anxious to see the effect of a complete top seal now that I have one installed.
thanks for all the replies.
