My motor has 2 sets of points.Near the back of the engine(prop end)is stamped set to .010 gap.Is this for both sets of points or just the one near this info.If they are different what is the setting on the other one?

Droll is correct, .010 on both sets. If your local dealer has replacement points,buy them.I think they just became NLA this summer.<br /><br />DHP

You can get a manual here at Iboat, part # 1302-E<br />You will need this anyway if you want to do anything on your motor :) <br /><br />Got some good shematics on the last pages .

Acording to the manual the point setting for this motor is .012 for new points and .010 for used points.
