Working on my '87 90hp rebuild. With no gear oil installed, and no impeller, the shaft turns nice and easy by hand. LU is off and on bench.
Once i put in the impeller and housing, it will turn but its very difficult. Lower is off the housing too, on a bench. Yea, blades are curved in correct direction.
Ive done alot of these and cant remember it bieng such a drag on movement. I put some vasoline in the housing on install.
Its tight enough, i feel it will be a drag trying to start the motor. I have 110lb compression on the loose powerhead. I bet once together, it wont spin up to speed to give me those readings again
Thoughts?
