So I like these older motors because even an idiot like myself can generally figure out how to resolve issues, but I want to know if there is something I can do to maximize the output of this motor. It seems like I get about 6hp before the drive shaft starts free spinning without the prop...
Had to replace the impeller. Completed that but I can't get the lower unit back on. Stops within an inch of seating. I'm not very knowledgable but I always try. This is my third engine I've jacked with so not much experience. I took it apart in neutral and haven't messed with it while apart...
