To the best of my knowledge a timing light and even strong sunlight should be avoided to prevent damage...

Possible power pack. Thorough testing procedure in servicemanual of all electrical parts. OMC not AM manual.

The reason this part brakes is because the engine has been synchronized incorrectly. Sync and link adjustments.

If the 'Idlestop screw' on the port side under the flywheel is adjusted to increase...

At this stage sounds more like either power-pack or 'timer base and sensor'. Possibly both.

It's for an analogue speedo. Feed by tube from fitting to gauge and works by pressure. Post your model numbers for clarification why only one has fitting. Counter rotation?
