???----The plastic drive keys / bits last for 20 years or more.----Your motor is " special " I guess.----And perhaps your motor does not have a 1982 lower unit.----And there may have been 2 different plastic keys.----Some " club fisted " person installed the wrong one ?

There was 2 key that came with the ebay kit and no instructions as which one to use and install i put the wrong one in i guess. They both looked the same. While i was cleaning the top of the cylinder head i did turn the flywheel the wrong direction or way and felt something like the key sliding under the impeller. I going stick the brass key them things are people like me who feel better with a brass key. It is all good I am asking Jesus the son of God for help and if was not for him i would have not got near this far.

Factory parts kits do come with instructions.----But good dealers disappear because of internet sellers.-----And the downward spiral continues.

Took for a test ride works. the idle is tricky got wait for it to slow down a little to shift into froward nice and easy. It is working ok for $200.00 engine. Now will do a check on the nuts and bolts carter pen and everything else and make sure it is tighten up and go for a longer ride in the water.

The engine runs good when i am going 2 mph or 30 mph slow or fast has no problem running. But when i idle you know in neutral slow enough to shift into froward it can stall so i kind of got to not idle to long or it will go stall. it ok like this because i am aware of it. Anyone know what it might be.
