Hi guys, I have a 1978 35hp pull start only Evinrude.
Son brought it home last week with a locked down throttle and pull cord. Found a broken and wedged trigger under the flywheel.Everything else seemed ok So we replaced that part. But when we put the flywheel back on, it only rotates about halfway around and then it contacts something, moves the advance plate a bit and then everything stops again. Turn other way about half revolution and contact again, moves advance plate a ways and then locks down again. Can't seem to figure out what.s hitting. I feel the new trigger is clear or it wouldn't rotate at all to begin with. Now I'm thinking something moved or shifted to begin with to break the original trigger. Magnets seemed okay but not really sure what I'm looking for or at. No stator, just a trigger on one side and another trigger of some sort on the other side. Any help on what to check next?? Thanks
