hi i have a 72 evinrude starflite 100 and i have no fire at the plugs so i pulled the flywheel off and the distributor and stator and there are metal shavings all around the crankshaft also while cranking the engine over and using a test light to the wires that come from the distributor where they attach to the wiring block the light comes on but is very dim ? also there is oil leaking out from behind the prop where it attaches to the lower unit .
 
The metal shavings are likely from the anti-reversing spring.--------That spring will now have to be replaced and properly lubricated.-----------Clean all carbon from rotor and distributor cap.
