Well, with the help of several people on here, I've managed to get everything apart that I needed to fix. I even know how to get everything back together, however, I just have a few questions about getting it back together. It is a 1983 15hp Evinrude.<br /><br />1. For the past few years, I've been having trouble getting the motor to stop. Now the stop button itself works...tested conductivity, so I assume that its the power pack...How hard is it to replace this piece and is it an expensive fix?<br /><br />2. When putting the flywheel on, should I put grease on the shaft before putting the flywheel on and if so, what kind...will axle grease do?<br /><br />3. The flywheel was a pain the the butt to get off, and I can only imagine that it would be the same goin back on...can I use a rubber mallet to "aid" me in gettin it back on?<br /><br />4. The gaskets for the carb...both the resevoir on the bottom and where it attaches to the block...if they are in good condition ie.. not ripped, torn or worn, can I re-use them?<br /><br />5. Is there anything I should be looking for in regards to wear and tear on the inside of the flywheel or the green parts that are under it...I'm think they are the points?? I could be wrong...<br /><br />Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

post the year and HP<br /> DO NOT grease the taper. seach the jonnyrude forums and I have listed the reasons.<br /> if you must reuse a gasket dont reuse the fuel bowl ones. better yet buy the jonnyrude kits and they come with all you need.<br />the proper flywheel nut torque on a clean oil free tapered surface will hold it.

Sorry about that guys, lack of sleep and apparently things seemed to have slipped my mind. Its a 1983 15hp Evinrude.<br /><br />That was also one of the questions that slipped my mind rodbolt, what is the torque on the nut on top of the flywheel?<br /><br />I'm sure some more questions will come up eventually, until then, must sleep. thanks for such quick responses as well guys.
