Hi Im trying to properly set the points on my 1957 evinrude fleetwin 7.5 HP . The points seen kind of tight right now , I know you set them at 0.20 thousand of a inch . But my feeler gage is kind of tight when I place the feeler gage in them . Also when Im setting the points I use the indcator at the top on the crank shaft marked top , right . Do I losen the screws that are on a angle and set them in and out as needed to , To get the proper setting right . . Also My magneto plate is tight and causeing my gears to slip on the tiller handle . Im getting a little of play in the magneto plate , but not that much . As far as strating I should be ok . Just one more thing , When I rebuilt the carburator I had placed the lead shot ball in the low idle passage welch plug in that passage under the welch plug , I was looking on marineengine.com and it looks like the picture showed that it go's in there . But after reading some other posts I find that the lead shot is for a drilled hole at the factory when the carb is built . Is this true and will . Will it run with that in there . Please let me know .Im ok with compresion and should be ok with the fuel tank after I rebuild the tank with the kit comming in the mail .
