another new guy-no dumb questions yet

[cook]

Finally got my butt in gear and started working on an old 18 HP motor...sure I'll have questions in the future-but I'll first use the search function and see if I can learn a little.
Crappie are biting and I need to get out!

Which 18 so we can prepare in advance?

FD-18E
1964
Right now I'm trying to identify the exact part numbers I need.I have the repair manul.but the pics in it are a little small.It appears to be the throttle cam assemby,the sensor that rides on the front cam on the underside of the flywheel-seems to control the timing as the throttle is advanced.Don't know what it looks like originally-but now there is a small rubber wheel with about 20 layers of duct tape around it to give it enough diameter to contact the cam-great missouri engineering.
It runs very rough ,especially at idle due to the lumps and softness of the "duct tape roller"

Looks like a small rubber wheel without the 20 layers of duct tape. Part # 203362 still available. http://www.marineengine.com/parts/v...ntage-evinrude-johnson/380047/38004700001.htm
