Re: Evinrude Points and Condensers Part #’s

Aw, don’t ya know that all those points are made on the same assembly line?? Just kidding ! he he he! Agreed, the Sierra points are very poor quality. They are built very sloppy at the hinge point, and won’t hold adjustment. The condensers seem to be ok… I’ve used them, but prefer OEM. When I think about having to pull a flywheel again, using OEM makes sense. I just hope BRP will continue to supply this stuff into the future. If the demand is there, they will I’m sure. Speaking of breaker points, I always use Quicksiler points in my old Mercruiser engines. A year or two ago, I ordered in a set for a Delco dist. and noticed they are now made in China! they were the same as the other cheap made points, would not hold adjustment. I found some Borg Warner ones made in Turkey, that were good, and ended up using them. Now I’ve been buying some new old stock points off Ebay, [for Mercruiser] so I can get some good ones. I don’t know what we will do when all this stuff comes from China! Better stock up I guess.
