Impeller- which way turn when installing impeller in housing - 2hp 1981 Johnson

[henri33161]

Hello, can anyone tell me...Impeller- which way I need to turn the impeller when installing the impeller in the housing. This is on a 2hp 1981 Johnson. Not the crankshaft, just the rubber impeller by hand.

Thanks,
Henri

Makes no difference. If it's new it will take care of its self. But if you pull the start rope you will see what way the shaft turns. Just install it by turning it the same way.

put impeler on drive shaft,
grease inside part of impeler housing,
put impeler housing on drive shaft, lower down,
take a vise grip, and grip upper part of driveshaft,
turn CLOCKWISE drive shaft and at the same time press down housing to cover impeler
