Need torque specs

[jonndena]

I need to know how much to torque the flywheel down on a 1963 Johnson 40 hp Super Sea Horse and also the points gap. Any info would be great.

Point gap is .020". Torque value for the flywheel is real important. I would PM Joe Reeves for exact value. I think is it 105 ft-lbs

100-105ft.lbs is correct.

I scanned and saved a service manual that covers all 30-40HP OMC outboard motors built from 1956-1964. If you would like a copy, send me a Private Message with your email address and I will reply with the manual as an attachment. Good luck!
