timing advance linkage

[rlouis5]

I have a 1979 Johnson motor 175 hp that has a broken timing advance linkage...it is a short rod with plastic balls at each end...where can I purchase one of these? I cannot find this part and I am uncertain what the part is named or what the part # is...thank you
Robert

Re: timing advance linkage

okay. We'll see what we can do.

check the link below. It is a parts breakout for same vintage and HP. See if it matches yours. You should be able to get your part number from the diagram:

Evinrude Cylinder & Crankcase Parts for 1979 175hp 175949R Outboard Motor

Are you looking for parts #76 and #77? You may need to contact a dealer for those. Or maybe a salvage yard.

good luck

Likely you need a spark advance rod. 320950. That original part is NLA. Replaced by 308743. Stocked in all Bombardier warehouses. About $ 4. The ball joint 313703 is NLA, but stock is avail on superceded part 395448, about $ 7.
