TOPIC: how to remove the armature plate

I am tearing down my scrape pile '54 Evinrude 15hp Fastwin. I want to remove the armature plate complete with all the ignition parts still mounted.

If I remember right you will have to remove the screws holding the coils. I have only taken one of these apart and its was about 2 years ago. There are 2 or 4 long screws that hold the mag plater on. Just go slow and watch what you are doing. So you can get it back togather.

There are four screws holding the plate in place. The are arranged in a rectangular pattern. The two coil screws CLOSEST to the crankshaft are two of the corners. The other two corners are the two screws down low between the coil and points about the same distance from the crankshaft as the two up top. Also, unhook the throttle advance arm from the lever on the underside of the mag plate - should be a stainless steel clip.
