getting geady to put water pump in 85 hp 1975 evinrude got the manuel think ive got it figured out supposed do disconect shift rod under lower carb is there a good way to get to it
I am also removing lower unit on 120 johnson (1990) without manual. I have the lower unit unbolted and hanging attached with about 1 inch gap, but something is holding it from dropping. Got any ideas??
Didn't you read the post above? Disconnect the shift shaft -- preferably before you unbolt the lower unit as once that's undone it will likely fall on the floor.
