I removed old impellar and driveshaft was removed from lover unit so I could persuade the frozen impeller to come off- On reassembly I dropped the driveshaft into the lower unit but It did not engage the gear-so when you turn it clockwise does not turn the prop-its also a wee bit too high up...

I am replacing impeller and can not get the locking tab in place on the driveshaft to secure the impeller-how can this be done? my engine is a 1987 Johnson- thanks, nattyboomboom
must be pumped up often with the fuel bulb, otherwise it stalls out- she restarts after about 20 squeezes of the bulb, then runs out of fuel and stalls- any ideas about what to trouble shoot??? Thanks, NattyBoom Boom
