Hi all. Thanks for the diagram Garry. I found out that the broken part,(found it in the engine shroud), was the end tab of the choke shaft. (#25 on your diagram). $48 @ marineengine.com. However, I was able to pick up a reconditioned carb that’s perfect for $29.50 on ebay! Needle valves are perfect! So… got the head off, looks good, pistons are fine, powerhead’s off, shift linkage is disconnected and I’m ready to pull the lower end off to cange the impeller. Got the old coils, points & condensers off then pulled the armature plate off. Just received all the new ignition parts, carb kit, plugs & 5′ of solid core ignitionwire as well as a new impeller with various "O" rings, washers & a seal or 2. Changed the lower end gear oil, looked fine, (not brown & soapy!). Just cleaning it up befoere I reasemble and wondering what kind of lube goes on the plate that the armature plate sits on. Right now it feels like some thick grease. There’s no oil leaking & the cam is fine. I read in my SELOC manual that it’s not necessary to remove the armature plate unless you’re replacing the top seal or the coil. Both are fine. Just wanted to clean things up a bit. Do I need to apply grease to the cam or any surrounding parts before I place the armature plate back on?
