Need to know what motor you have first. And if it is magneto or battery/coil ignition. Electric shift??

Re: 1966 evinrude timming

The belt is part number 305446, about 50 bucks from an Evinrude dealer. There are timing marks on the recoil starter and cylinder, and one on the flywheel. Align the flywheel mark between the other two. Then align the mark on the magneto pulley with the safety switch button and slip the belt on.
www.ishopmarine.com has the belt if you don't have a dealer close by. The postage could be less than the cost of gas to go get one even if you do have a dealer.

Mike, you are looking for the mark on the pulley...as shown in evinrudeboater's picture. The position of the magneto itself makes no difference.
