Don – thanks for the continued education. It’s been a big help in my understanding of how this thing works.
Glad to help. These ignition/electrical systems are pretty basic, and easy to understand once you see the wiring diagram and have a basic understanding of how the CDII ignition system works.
That crankshaft sure seems off center though, judging by your picture! But, this must be some sort of photo illusion, the flywheel would never fit in place if things were that “out of whack”. OK, just looked at the photo again…. Looks like you have all the phillips mag plate retainer screws removed, so the mag plate probably just isn’t sitting in the proper position..
Be sure to replace that plastic mag plate bushing: 322435. Check the mag plate for sideways slop in the crankcase pilot busing. Be sure to relube that pilot bushing properly with OMC moly lube, give the new plastic bushing a light coating of two stroke oil as well.
