Re: CD-10 Johnson 5.5 Sea Horse need to remove lower end for water pump repair
Well I did read an old post and learned I needed to pull the power head off. Seven screws later and off it came and so did a washer and it looked like a seal stuck to it . Not sure where that goes yet but I unbolted the double nutted shift rod and pulled every thing out the bottom. What happened I just tuned it up and put the boat on the lake and after I set my carb one pull and away we went. Tuned it in and it ran great. But I went about 400 yards and it quit. Over heated, so I rowed it back to the boat launch and loaded it, back home I went. Engine turns over and seems to have compression. It did over heat where it turned the gas to a brite orange in the carb. It dripped out a nasty color when I flipped the power head upside down to set it on top of my work bench. I need to clean that out of the fuel lines and carb yet. I took the empeller out and the key had spong a grove inside the expeller's fiber hub. I called NAPA and they said they have the expeller for $19.00 , but they have a kit that includes the plate for $26. I need all the seals and gaskets to put this back together. I have a store a little ways from me that has parts, but they are very expensive. How many parts does NAPA carry for this CD10 Sea Horse 5.5 HP? I need to reseal the lower end. The main drive shaft that drives the lower end is groved up pretty good where the water pump impeller housing bushing runs on the drive shaft. Not sure just how to fix that yet. That could get expensive. I may end up with a motor for parts before it is all done, but I sure enjoyed this motor when it was running good.
