From what I've read testing should be done around 15 psi not 5 psi

Hi. I picked up this. 1985 evinrude 30 hp. Has a strange looking extension casing I'm assuming is to convert short shaft to long shaft. Part number stamped in extension housing is 327941. Question is how did the kit handle lengthening the shift shaft? I don't see any connection piece its one...

I'm having a hard time finding omc part number 320737 3 leg puller. I'm working on a 1988 40 hp tiller trying to get the prop bearing housing out. Is there another method to remove this?

Mission accomplished. Tapped a 5/16-18 threads into the shift bushing. Ran a threaded rod into the bushing through a block of wood on top of the gearcase housing. Ran a nut down the threaded rod to washers on top of the board. Tightened the nut and it extracted the bushing with seals. Replaced...

I saw someone tapped the bushing with a 5/16 - 18 course tap then ran an all thread into the bushing using a block on top of the gearcase with a nut to tighten so it acts like a puller. Think this will work?

Yes oil was in lower unit when tested. 14 psi. No water in oil after running it for several minutes. Gear oil was empty when I bought the motor so maybe someone knew about the issue

Low hour motor. I barely pushed on it. In fact it leaked on its own when it was removed from the motor for water pump replacement. I noticed it leaking a good deal when re assembling. I'm wondering if a self tapping screw put into the bronze bushing then prying it out under the screw head?

Working on a 2003 johnson 30 hp longshaft 2 stroke. Leaks from the shift rod area. If I push on the shift rod slightly you can hear air escape when pressuring the gearcase. How much has to be torn down to replace the shiter seals and bronze bushing? Any tips how to remove the shift bushing and...

I have a 1988 evinrude 40 hp tiller longshaft. I need the measurements for the shift shaft. I bought a manual on ebay but the seller sent the manual for a 1990 which uses a different lower unit. Please help if possible

Anybody?

1988 40 hp longshaft tiller. Need to pullthe PROPSHAFT carrier. Looks like the 3 arm omc pulling parts are hard to find. This carrier uses bolts deep in the housing. Ive pulled newer style 40 hp carriers before but they had bolts close to the end of the carrier. The puller I used for those...

Thank you. I'll check it and report back with my findings

Thanks. Is there a schematic showing where to measure? Is it from the very tip down to where it enters the metal cover? And measure in neutral?

New to me 1988 evinrude 40 hp tiller longshaft. Shifts ok into forward but won't fully engage reverse. When putting into reverse prop makes a ratcheting sound when turning by hand. I disconnected shift linkage at motor under carbs. I pushed on the shift shaft with long nose pliers while turning...

Ok I got it fixed. Used a small triangle file to fix threads followed by a die in the correct size. Didn't take much work at all to fix I have a habit of blowing things out of proportion. Thanks for all the tips I appreciate it as always

Ok yes good idea

I am going to lap the crank and flywheel together with valve grinding compound. Clean the tapers make sure they are dry. Torque nut to 105 ft lb

I see universal thread chasers on Amazon that automatically adjust to thread. Anyone use one?

1987 johnson 55 hp commercial tiller. So in all my messing around trying to get the spun flywheel (broken keyway) off I managed to booger up the threads on the crank. Can I use a die on these threads? Any other ideas of what to do? I tried muscling a flywheel nut down on these and it just ruins...

Ok yes I will track down the right one
