1968 Evinrude 40hp Flywheel rubbing against coils...

[Lk40hp]

I have an evinrude 40 hp big twin, and I was trying to get it to get spark, and now I have spark on one side but not the other. The one getting spark's coil pack is rubbing against the flywheel... anyone know how to fit that?

Loosen up the screws holding the coil down and move it back. The coil laminations should be even with the mounting boss.
