Tuning up a 1976 35hp Evinrude. Put in new points and condensers, put the flywheel back on and the mag plate is catching on the flywheel, and the throttle just keeps kicking back to idle speed. The stator and coil are properly aligned with the bosses on the mag plate. When I had the flywheel off, there was a lot of grease/oil which I cleaned up. There is a track or groove around the perimeter of the mag plate where a ridge on the edge of the flywheel rides. It was pretty greasy so I cleaned it up. Now I'm thinking that maybe there is supposed to be grease in that groove so the flywheel doesn't bind. Anybody have any experience with this?
