When searching my model number (VXL-12R) the closest match is VXL-12.

Looking at the distributer assembly, it’s clearly different in the parts diagram vs what I have.

Using marineengine.com

Any recommendations? Is the “R” a less common variant?
 
Your motor has the magneto.----The motor is 60 years old.-----Poweryhead may have been replaced.----Bracket with model # may have been replaced .---ETC, Etc.------Is serial # on engine the same as on the transom bracket.-----There really is nothing special about this motor.-----Use the VKH to see the magneto parts.
 
I see. Thank you! I just searched the VKH model diagram and indeed the distributer does look exactly like what I have on my engine. This should be fun. Did you happen to see the plug wire where it connects to the distributer? That’s not correct, right?
 
I clearly stated that plug wires screw into the cap.-----Some " clubfisted owner " was not aware of that.----Note---when I started repairing motors that V-4 was practically NEW.

I was able to view the wire screw in a parts diagram. Looks like mine might be missing those.

Sorry, I don’t see your response where you mentioned that. Thanks for your help. You must be pretty old ;)

I’m excited to work on this engine though. Can’t wait to get off work and start digging into it.

Is there a type of engine muff you recommend or any will work?

Regarding the impeller, do you recommend replacing the whole water pump assembly, or just the fan shaped impeller part?

What about fuel pump, can I assume I’ll need to replace that as well?

I’m going to start ordering parts. I was planning on impeller, fuel pump, and lower unit seals right off the bat. Is there anything else that I’m guaranteed to need replacing? Thanks again.
 
On another thread ( 10:37 AM today ) I clearly indicated that wires screw into the cap.-----OLD ?-----Good luck with your project.

Ah…I see that comment now. Missed that thread. I can’t tell if you’re annoyed with me or that’s just your style of writing.

Thanks for the help. I’ll keep y’all updated.
