Re: OMC Magplate slop question

[Mumbles]

Since the motors were usually ran at full speed or trolling speed and hardly ever anywhere in between, I’ve found the plate bushing and its matching surface on the motor tend to wear egg shaped. A sloppy fit at idle or full speed but a nicer fit in the midrange.

The aluminum can be expanded by lightly using a center punch evenly around the bearing boss to remove the slop or else a set of Atom modules can be used to replace the points and condensors to get the timing accurate again. Watch the classifieds here as I have some extra NOS Red Atoms and will be selling them soon. ☺
