    1984 johnson 90hp carb leaking fuel out air cleaner

    After looking at this again and again more closely, I believe you insert the spring and ball through the hole in the housing referenced in my pick, hold the spring down and then insert the detent shifter, therefore you would not see the assembly in the housing. I can pull up and push down...

    Cant find detent spring and ball on BEARING HOUSING & PIN ASSY. Will head to johnson/evinrude shop to buy another. How is this supposed to be retained to prevent being lost in the future? The model that has two detent ball and springs have a set screw. My model does not, that I can see.

    thanks for the quick response. I will replace the pinion bearing 0384195. I just need to get the driveshaft out then. I am surely doing something wrong as there is not LOTS of room to remove the pinion nut. Its sitting right on top of the clutch dog and still in the threads of Driveshaft...

    I am spending too much time making no progress, gotta ask so I can move forward. I drained lower unit gearcase oil and it was straight water for a while then thick goop following that. I am attempting to overhaul the lower unit and fix the issue. I can not get the drive shaft to lift up out...

    loctite aviation gasket sealer 1525607. Ya, my gel seal instructions had me.......anxious. But looking at the gel seal loctite 518 24hrs later, it doesnt seem to be all that hardening either. the instruction spoke of a shimming effect that would not allow full seal if the work wasn't...

    ok, i am seeing this is for the 140hp not my 90hp. So I use one of the other gaskets provided for the exhaust manifold.

    Thanks ct1762, it was a great learning experience. Fun and frustrating. I couldn't imagine aligning three! Atleast at this point. Making notes to help when possible is becoming a more common practice as I continue to work. I got the crankshaft all sealed and torqued today, just the accessory...

    allow me to defend my newbie ignorance......... When I rotated the main bearing, the break in the two halfs of that bearing would catch then click on the edge of the block mating surface. The crank is hard to rotate when the center main bearing is not on that dowel as there are "catches" when...

    I took the upper and lower crankcase head assembly off, removed the connecting rods and crankshaft, and after watching it "teeter" in the center I new it had to be as racer initially mentioned, center bearing wasn't fitted on the centering dowel. After practicing (no joke) with the old center...

    The retainer plate seems pocketed, it sits snug into the lower crankcase head assembly. However I was not able to completely follow this in my manual. I didn't use the guide bolts but used to bolts into the retaining plate, as shown in the picture in previous post. It says " The lower bearing...

    Good too know. Dang they can get expensive. Do you think the bearing plate could be the issue?? Or not likely?

    The ball bearing assembly onto the lower crankshaft does not exactly slide right on. I had to use a puller to get the original ball bearing off, it was an extremely tight fit. After pounding the upper bearing into the assembly I assumed the same was for the ball bearing in the lower.

    Ok, so gap is indeed to far apart. I will dig into it tomorrow and see what I can find. Ughhh...... Remembered this as I was typing this response. After installing the lower bearing plate and pounding on the bearing, I noticed the lazored word TOP on the bearing plate that is facing the...

    correct, i have quadruple checked this. even purposely rotated it off, to hear and feel it slide back in again. the upper crankcase sits pretty good, so I think that suggests center main bearing is seated, assuming the crankshaft is level.

    I really hope this is acceptable, and the case bolts will close the gap. But does the gap around the lower crankcase too far apart? I have the lower crankcase head installed on the crank, but the bolt holes on the lower crankcase head don't align with the crankcase itself. The upper crankcase...

    The original lower is 321668 and I can't seem to find the upper. but again, that is identical to what I pulled out which is E330. If there is a factory number on it, it is faded and beyond recognition. I am more concerned about the lower seals, is seems I am replacing 1 original seal with two...

    I know seleoc sucks, but as I mentioned, OEM is 4 months out. All 3 seals say TTO on them. part number "d1129" and "d696" for what I assume to be lower, and upper is "E330" which actually looks identical to what I pulled out. Google didnt turn up much for me. I see in WSMs (ebay) instruction...

    I ended up freezing the bearing and heating the upper crankcase head and bearing assembly, also upgraded to a 4lb soft mallot and was able to get it in. Can't be scared of the heat, lesson learned, I was being to overly cautious about damaging parts with the torch. Still would appreciate help...

    Can anyone tell me, or point me to a video, documentation...etc. of how to safely install the upper crank bearing without an arbor press? Also, are the two seals in the attached picture supposed to be used or is one extra, just depends on what one fits?? Thanks
