Re: Setting the points on a 4HP evinrude
Align the flywheel key with the fiber rubbing portion of the points, then set the points so that a .020 feeler gauge will pass thru the gap but a .022 will not.<br /><br />If you're saying that the engine wants to dies out when throttle is applied, that's usually due to a fouled and/or improperly adjusted carburetor.
