Bought an harmonic balance puller to remove flywheel on a 1988 50 VRO. None of the bolts fit. What size bolts should I use? I read on another post a guy stripped out grade 8 5/16. Is that the size? Are there different threads on grade 8 bolts? 5/16 seems kinda big.
I have a 1976 35hp Johnson that I would like to convert to tiller steer. What do I need other than a tiller handle and throtle control.

Installed a new key switch with push key to choke. Neather of the 2 purple
wires from the solenoid are connected to the wire comming from the switch
that sends 12 volts when key is pushed. Where should these be connected.
