Reply To: 1916 Evinrude 4 cycle Twin model AA

[HARRY D. NICHOLSON]

I’ve seen lots of pics and it looks like one wire comes out of the bottom of the mag and goes into the ‘distributor’ and then 2 spark plug wires come out of the ‘distributor’ and they go to the spark plugs. We’re missing the distributor. Pictures seem to show a normal Evinrude RBM magneto plate assy. It can’t be just 2 plug wires tied to one coming out of the mag or only one plug would spark.

In the 1919 Evinrude parts book, the only ignition difference between the AA 4-cycle twin and the common 2HP single is the flywheel $18, empty mag plate $1.70, and distributor with wires $2.50.
