    Spark on only one cylinder

    I've got a 63' Evinrude 40hp that's been outa water 10 years and I'm trying to bring it back to life.

    Just flushed the fuel pump, rebuilt the carb and replaced the hoses.

    Problem now is I have spark only on one cylinder.
    So I'm gona pull the flywheel and check points, look for wear etc.
    Thinking bout changing the plug wires. Are they anything special or can I use automotive wires?
    I know my problem might be the points or the coil. I havta pull it apart and see.
    Any help... what is the point gap? Am I missing anything?
    waiting for the manual in the mail...

    You will probably have to use what ever parts you can find as parts for that will be hard to get, we don't even have a parts listed past 1968. The point gap is probably 0.020, it may be printed on flywheel or timer base.

      Plug Wires

      Use only wire plug wires. Don't use graphite wires. The wires screw into the coil. .020 on the points.
