Tubs,
I have always wanted to try this on my 1916 Evinrude, it’s hard to get started when cold but starts easily and runs good after. Was it common to use the battery for warm up then switch back to straight magneto, or leave the battery hooked up?
Also can you post how to connect a Buzz coil ignition instead of using the magneto. Was always scared to ruin my already weak magneto by hooking one up wrong.
To use a buzz box you need to disconnect the coil and condenser and only use the points. The battery booster option is a better way to go because it only requires a battery and leaves the magneto intact.

That answers my questions. Will make a battery and switch assembly for my weak magneto. I also have another Evinrude with a dead magneto and will hook a buzz coil as suggested to the points.

Second question about my 1914 RBM. The tank is very rusted on the inside. I have been looking for something that will stop the rust and still be resistant to gasoline. I also found a loose piece of metal inside. It looks like it might have been some kind of baffle. Any help about the rust or loose piece of metal would be appreciated. Auto parts store recommended Permatex Rust Treatment #81773 then prime and paint. Permatex tech support says the rust treatment alone will dissolve in gasoline.
