Re: ’57 Evinrude Sportwin Ignition Question

[wedgie]

Are you sure both coils are good? They look ok, but I’ve had good looking bad coils. Also, hard to see, but looks like the condenser wire may have contacted the flywheel. Did the points get gaped properly? the one set looks a bit wide int the pic .

Also, is the safety lockout lever not letting you throttle up all the way, or does the handle turn all the way to fast but only goes to fast idle?
