I'm not too familiar with points type ignition systems. I have a pair of 63 homelite 55 4 cylinder 4 stroke outboards. In their ignition wiring there's a high/low switch. Any idea on what this could be for? I'll post up a wiring diagram picture when I find the correct one. Of course it could be something to do with the rectifier too. There isn't really a good source of technical data on these motors and the very few people who do know about them take forever to respond if they do at all. Tried all my boating forums with no replies. Maybe you guys can help. Basically these outboards are a stroked 44" crosley car engine turned on its side. I've got it running great and they sound awesome. They'll also idle down to 700 rpms all day and burn no oil. Love these things.
