    Tips for putting lower unit back on?

    I always spread that coupler open a bit with a screwdriver before re-mounting gearcase. Upper shift rod should slide right in (move shifter handle toward forward), use a flashlight to align shift rod detent to coupler bolt hole and insert/tighten coupler bolt.. good luck!

    Check gear lube before resealing.. likely unburned sludge oozing down from exhaust housing. Especially since it was running rough until you got it dialed-in.

    Likely bad prop hub bushing. Propshaft will spin normally, but bushing lost it’s bind between prop hub and propeller and slips. Replace bushing (prop shop), or different prop like: https://boatpropellers.iboats.com/Evinrude-Outboard-Propellers/?chart=15&engine_id=62&cart_id=078085661 or used...

    Engine Running Hot

    Barrel test with water deep enough to submerge waterpump. Muffs are not a realistic waterpump/cooling system function test. Hopefully it cools normally. If it still overheats, pull heads and check water passage deflectors #12.. supposedly 4 per engine/one per cylinder.

    What is the function of the orifice plug

    Check for float valve seating (blow into inlet with carb inverted..no air should pass). Missing nozzle gasket will also cause your issue. #36

    Leaking 1972 25hp Johnson lower unit oil drain plug

    Try a thicker o-ring that will squish against the sides of the drain port when tightened down. Pressure test before filling.. rubber hose and mouth pressure and soapy water will suffice. If it seals, remove plug and fill normally.

    I used auto wires (resistive type) once way back when, before I knew better. Ran great for about 10 minutes😎. These magnetos require metal strand plug wires.
