1975 Johnson 70 HP 2-stroke.<br /><br />I need to remove the crank/starter pulley to replace stator which is delivering 500V instead of the regulation 330V. (Presume no side-step on this one??)<br /><br />I have made a puller identical to the one shown in the manual to lift off the pulley (I did take off the lock nut!!) but the pulley won't budge. I have tried penetrating oil, moderate heat and a large spanner on the puller but nothing works. The manual doesn't say anything about a locking pin. It is not a morse key fitting, it just has a locating slot on the threaded portion.<br /><br />Any suggestions welcome.
