      Trying to sort out the lack of spark. Can someone tell me if there should be something where arrow 1 points to? It looks to me as if some sort on contact or spring is missing probably mounted where arrow 2 points to? I presume whatever should be there is necessary for it to work properly. The coil is good and I have replaced the faulty condensor with a suitable replacement. The magnets don’t seem very strong to me but I am trying to find out where I can have them remagnetised here in New Zealand but no luck so far. Hoping someone can help me out. The motor is in good mechanical condition otherwise and I am keen to get it running as It looks really nice after putting in a few hours on cleaning it up and beating out the dents in the fuel tank.

      What;s missing here

          Hey thank you, really helpful picture. I can see that I am missing this piece. Can anyone help me out with finding one. I have reproduced the decals from what was remaining on the tank and some help from another member so if anyone want’s a copy of the files to have them printed let me know.

              Thanks, Not much prewar American stuff in NZ but I’ll try. I contact you later on if I can’t find anything. You’ve been most helpful.

                    I have the same Lightwin, nice job on cleaning yours up. I have some Evinrude Zephrys and some PreWar Evinrude Lightfours that have that push rod type points system, they might work, I might have to research that if I have what will work I’ll let you know. As far as the decals I’m interested in the data. Jim Jordan Dodgeville, WI 53533….Thanks for the offer on the Decals…..

                      These are the decals I have done, The tank back one was taken from what remained on my one. The top ones have used some guess work so I am open to correction on these.
