Re: Elign ID

It is a 1958, Made by West Bend. For impeller, try Water Pump Impellers I don't know offhand what magneto it has so can't say much about points. But if it is as mint as you say it is, the old ones should be salvageable. Take them completely apard, degrease them, and polish each contact shiny bright. Reassemble and set gap to .020"

Thank you for your quick response. I have Wico ign system in this outboard. My concern is where to find a condenser. I know the points can cleaned. I also have seen you can put OMC coils in these engines.

First try it with the existing condensers. If not there are sites where you can get replacements. I've used regular OMC condensers on my Scotts / Firestones (with WICO ignitions). You may have to mount them differently but I do believe they will work.
