Shes all back together and running very well. Cleaned the carb, new iginition wires, new fuel lines and clamps, new starter rope etc.
Since it was a bit dirty under the magneto and the points were trashed I decided to convert her to electronic modules since I had a couple laying around and thought Ii would give them a whirl. I used a set on my 9.5hp Johnson which allows it to really get down and idle very slow since they fire exactly 180 apart every time. I solder the wires to the modules and keep them as short as possible this allows me to mount them under the magneto plate. I have heard folks here say they haven’t had much luck with the Nova modules but this is the second motor I have put them on and I already had a some so I thought what the heck.
I will put a new impeller on her now that I know shes a runner. Very quiet engine I am guessing it was one without roller bearings and has pretty low hours on the power head. I took a pick of my conversion and a couple videos on is without the cowl on when I was fine tuning the carb which was pretty simple on this particular engine. I did put a dab of black silicone under the positive side of the module to make sure it doesn’t accidentally ground itself. She really gets down and idles very slowly.
You can’t do the conversion on all motors. Just the ones with 1 set of magnets under the flywheel and weights on the other side opposite the magnets. I have only had success with omc motors 2 cylinders.
Thanks for your help guys,
Joe 😀
