Re: 2005 johnson 50 High speed shift...motor wont start.....Prop wont turn in nuetral
Under the bottom carb, there is a bolt to take out on the port side of the power head. Take the starter off to gain acess. When you remove the bolt it will release the shift rod , the lower unit will then drop down.
Thankyou for your help!
I now have the lower unit off. I now need to know how to get into the lower unit.
Is the propeler shaft the way to go as the **** rod looks sealed in?
When I moved the shift rod I finaly could turn the prop. but hear noise.
Can I pull the prop shaft with a wheel puller after removing the bolts to see how severe the damage. Is their anything else I need to do to get to the problem?
Can these lower units actually be repaired?
Can I now attempt to start the motor with the lower unit off, without causing any damage?
Looking forward to your expertteeze........................................................HELP
With Regards Crass
