1968 Evinrude Fastwin 18hp 18802a
Hello all. As the title states I’m looking for some direction a little more clear than my manual states. I understand the car follower should align in between the two marks on the pointer as soon as the linkage arm moves allowing more fuel to flow through carb. This timing is slightly off on my engine, I would like for it to be exact if I can help it.
The instructions for for my motor (other Evinrude/Johnson motors of similar hp and year have different directions) state to “loosen the 2 screws under the armature plate and move the primary pick-up inward or outward to meet follower”
I’m assuming the primary pick-up is the piece the cam rolls against that has the marks. There are two screws under the armature plate that are almost impossible to access with everything in tact. And I don’t see how loosening those screws will allow anything to move inward or outward to meet follower.
Im sure I’m overthinking this, but would love if anyone has more laymans terms they could put this in and maybe a tip or two.
