    update with   pics

    Compression was mid 30s 🙁  (on both)   but a few shots of  Wd40  boosted things up to 60 psi and hopefully  a good run should bring them up higher after some decarb.  Won’t be any worse than my 9.5hp 9622a  at 65psi which runs fine.  Scoped the walls  and they are not  scored or anything  some wear .  The cam seems worn down (313676) but at  70U$   I’ll try to touch it up and  realign it to meet the cam follower on the START mark.

    Pulled the FW  …found it loose so somebody looked in before me but….found  nice cracked coils  mag plate was clean so this  kicker  was likely dormant for years .  Nice keel , prop needs  a touch  up but still useable.  GC to be pressure tested,  Shift handle was broken and replaced like a lot of these  kickers transported & resting on the shift handle 🙁

    engine turns over fine  and shifts ok

    a good mag rebuild (I may try my ceramic condensers) , timing,  impeller ,  plug wires & boots  and carb clean  should wake it up.  Paint refresh on cowl  and  where needed  and done !  This will keep me busy  while the grass wakes up. 🙂

    see pics   1960s Evinrude  6hp exact mdl unknown  (btw  tested condensers on Mr.Mohat’s  box  both passed the test perfect . Points look new 🙂
