    One for the collection 6hp Johnson

    Cheers….. Just did some google searching and found a website where they claim Pouring transmission fluid into the cylinders is an old mechanical trick, proven to help loosen things up in there. I haven’t heard of this before but it sounds ok 👍

    Thanks for the tip. I assume just straight 2 stroke oil. I am just thinking, may need to be oil in a spray can so all the cylinder walls get a coating. If I just tip some oil in there, gravity might just keep the oil coating on the lowest sides of the cylinder walls….. Just thinking that way 😊

    @ Crosbyman..... It’s confirmed the drive shaft if frozen in the PH.....

    Evinrude 4hp frozen solid

    Again thanks for the replies and help. @ Sea Rider..... I did remove the spark plugs and lifted the outboard to a horizontal position and sprayed plenty of WD40 into the combustion chamber (prob not the best product out there to do it) and let soak. With the outboard put back into vertical...

    Ok, I decided to cut the head off the bolt but too my amazement, the lower unit will still not seperate from the extension/exhaust housing.
