is the plate vibrating a wear issue ?
I had to replace the coil on those old engine evinrude/johnson ..1965/75
is the plate vibrating a wear issue ?
so i orderd a locating ring so i can set the coil properly, i did order a new driver coil, not saying it is bad, but it is original. so to elimanate issues before i go back and look at the carb again. ill change those parts and see if it improves.
well the coils have a smaller defect on the very old coils ..the steel laminates have rust , coil lower voltage on the spark plugs.
How do I get the idle to come
I know I asked about the idle. But what I was looking for how to adjust the roller cam. So when the roller cam touches the 2 dots ? Is there a way you can point me to see if crank case is the issue or a test I can try to give me some answers to why I think I have a problem…
I was just showing him the timing method. Are you going to tell me that you can't set the points on a 1974 model using the timing fixture?
Okay. I just use the flywheel when timing points. Never used the fixture. My Service manual shows a fixture being used for that ignition. Maybe there are different fixtures.
Did you figure it out? You have to adjust the linkages and such so that roller it between those two dots or right at the first one when the butterfly in the carb starts to open. That is when the timing is starting to advance and you can use the increased fuel for power so the two have to coordinate together...the timing advance and the opening of the butterfly.
So last night before it got to dark out, i loosend up the red arrow ( picture below is the refrence) then i turned the handle till the blue arrow cam roller touched the 2 dots the yellow arrow. then i tightend up the red arrow. so when i turn the handle back to off will say it does not touch the plate , nor does the butterfly in the back move. so in this setup motor starts right up i can get it to idle ok at a higher rpm. but i am new to this and seem to keep going back to the carb. so to eliminate the carb i need to set it up properly first.
is this the gasket you are refering too. i did replace that when i rebuilt the carb.
so the next question is this part circled i know it stops you from turning the handle to a slow speed that it will cause the motor to turn off. question is what is the starting pont for this to be, how many turns out to start off.
