    removing the cylinder head

    I took all of the bolts out. The head is still held in place by the gasket and sealer. I cannot pull it off by hand and I want to make sure I do this right. The last thing I want to do is damage the powerhead. Can someone provide me with the proper technique?

    Fuel Delivery Issue

    Not getting fuel to my 1982 Johnson. When I squeeze the bulk in the gas line it does not become firm. Rather gas leaks from the fuel pump. The fuel pump it pretty basic from that I can tell (http://www.boats.net/parts/search/BRP/JOHNSON/1982/J25ELCNE%201982/FUEL%20PUMP/parts.html) Am I right...
