Reply To: Can someone ID this Evinrude

I am not trying to be “smart” or question anyone’s ability, just making sure you eliminated the sometimes overlooked simple stuff. 🙂 I am gathering that you tested the single cylinder  coil already from the singe plug wire end and grounded on other side.

I would guess the coil wouldn’t be that impossible to find, seems to be a LOT of these older motors around. Just finding someone with a parts donor is the “fun” challenge sometimes 🙂

It seems some smart and diligent antique outboard service people can sub the more modern omc type coil windings in place of the old coil winding. I have seen pictures for the 30s twin cylinder coils revamped.

I haven’t tried this yet, but I have been lucky and on the 4148. 402, and 4209 I found have good coils.

The 432 you have,(I only know form what was posted, not by sight lol) looks to be in real nice shape. Good thing the frost plugs have id stamped on them as those old id tags on the transom mount don’t always survive.

You are finding some great stuff.
