    Thanks for the replies.

    1. The stator plate is tight, there is no excessive lateral/horizontal/radial play in the crank, the cam fits snugly (no cracks) and the key is in good shape.

    2. Points: we are experiencing the same issue with poor quality, aftermarket points in the vintage VW and Porsche world. Does anyone know the correct part number for the points on a 1952 RD12 25 HP Johnson Seahorse? This will enable me to search for OEM (finger’s cross) points online. As previously noted, marineengine.com does not offer parts for Johnson outboards prior to 1955.

    Thanks, in advance.
