As if you didn't see this one coming...
Contingent upon the powerhead I'm getting on Wednesday being good, I'm going to swap them out.
My manual briefly touches on powerhead removal at the begining of the section on overhauling.
I know the starter, carb, flywheel, magneto needs to come off. I've got boxes, ziplock bags, sharpies, and cameras ready for all that.
Other than the posibility of having a hell of a time getting the old powerhead to turn loose, what other surprises am I likely to run into?
Do I need to disconnect the shift linkage like I did when I dropped the lower unit? Anything else connected down there? Water tube?
Any gaskets?
Can I clamp the "new" powerhead to a bench and test compression before I commit to swaping them out?
