I test ran this motor after dark and noticed that there are sparks at the bottom of the ignition plate in the area of the pivit joint. Is this normal?
I am also having trouble getting it to idle. Could this be related? The plug wires LOOK good but could they be bad and causing the sparks?
I have an Evinrude 18 that I am reconditioning. It runs reallly well at mid-throttle but won't idle. I also noticed sparks under the ignition plate as I moved the throttle. I think I need plug wires and hope this is the source of my idling problem.
Anyone out there have any experience with...
