    Need help with strobe timing on 1972 9.5 HP Johnson 9R72M

    I had a bunch of 2 stroke motors from 1.5 to 85 HP and know what you are talking about, but with this particular motor it is much, much more. And this is first 9.5 HP I got, so I can not really compare with the same type motor.

    I was thinking about drilling before, like the hole and SS pin at the end of driveshaft on older 6 HP OMC motors to push head seal, but then dropped the idea scared to weaken\ruin driveshaft. Anyway , I will soak it for week or two while coming up with the way to pull.

    There are numerous references on the web for 14' FB Sears Gamefisher boats rated for 25HP. Most of them without pics or model details, but this one looks the same as mine with addition of side consol and front deck. https://boats-from-usa.com/sears/sears-gamefisher-297
