[QUOTE="cajuncook1, post: 396505, member: 2832"] Bruce, your 1972 Evinrude 25hp, should have the standard high tension ignition setup. Check your plug wires and see if one of them has a metal clip on them that has the word top. That plug wire should go to the to the top cylinder. If your plug wires are cross, then it will back fire and not start. Also make sure the tiller is set at start or past start, then try starting the motor. Of course, the proper diagnostic method of assessing a motor is Compression first Spark= Electrical (spark on both) Fuel (Carburetor and fuel delivery system) [/QUOTE]
