    1978 Johnson 35 hp lower unit

    ​I'm putting my lower unit back together and am having trouble putting the shaft lever into the dog cradle, knowing the correct procedure would really help, I can't find any videos or manuals explaining how to do this, thanks.

    I can see a couple chips on my forward gear, i'm ordering new parts and a clutch dog, do you think I need a new forward gear due to the chips?

    1978 Johnson 35 hp Sea-Horse lower unit?

    I just notched what appears to be chips and a ball bearing loose? I'm not really sure how this clutch dog engages the forward gear, will these chips cause the new clutch dog to go bad as well? I would prefer to change the forward gear now if so. Any advise on where this ball bearing came from?

    Here is the clutch dog, it has some rounded corners. I think the other gears are good. Thanks for the help.

    Johnson 35 hp Sea Horse

    The boat idles fine and the noise only occurs when I'm going between 10-25 mph about every 30 seconds +/-, it's a very aggressive noise that fills and sound like I hit a stump, even the motor bounces. I have had some starter problems that weekend and had to hit the top of the starter with my...

    I have a gas mixer problem I think?

    I just bought this 35 Johnson outboard model 35EL78R, 2 spark plugs. It says 50:1. I used regular unleaded gas and Quicksilver premium plus 2-cycle. I replaced the fuel screen at the fuel filter on the engine with a in-line filter on the gas pump line from wal-mart (glass filter). It started...
