quote Garry in Tampa:
The old coils have pins thot the high voltage spark plug wires pushed into. You will note the new coils have screws, so the wires will be twisted to thread them in place. – these pages for your information . . . 😀
Ok, seems easy enough. Whats the best/proper way to get the flywheel off and get at these coils? Any tricks to getting the coils out? Seems straight-forward.
40 years seems about right. Guy i bought it from got it 11 years ago and it was sitting at an old house many years before that apparently. I think it ran for 25 years due to pitting on the skeg, and was taken care of, then replaced and forgotten about. Looks like its been kicked around for 40 years on the outside, but overall neat on the inside.
Hope i am right 😐
