trouble doing a link n sync..need a part I think

[tfbrown1270]

I have a 1980ish 9.9 Johnson (new to me)..as part of the routine I am doing a lync and sync and getting frustrated because every time I think I have it right the very next time I try it its fubared....
fwiw I am adjusting the allen screw that determines when the throttle starts to move when advancing the throttle, I followed instructions that require the index mark on the timing cam to contact the roller and "start to move the throttle plate" at that mark.
PROBLEM IS...that there are grooves on that roller so depending on where the roller contacts the cam the timing is good or SIGNIFICANTLY LATE..SEE PICTURE FOR GROOVES..

can I replace that roller and how please? and if not then what?

Of course you can replace the roller. Check your particular model, but I think the part number is 318953. If I'm not mistaken, it just snaps on.

A big thank you for bringing this up.

This explains some of the weird issues on my 15hp. I just epoxy filled the grooves on mine until next time I wind up at the parts counter.
