1981 Johnson 4 HP

[Tom Laird]

I got the fly wheel off and changed out the condensers, but when I put it back together the drive shaft siesed up. It won't turn atall. Do I have to completely take it apart?

well if it did pryor to taking off, then i would say yes. Remove flywheel and sparkplugs. turn prop, does crankshaft turn freely? look for witness marks on flywheel and anything else thats obvious. Good luck and post back results.

Is there a chance you moved the coils a bit? Best of luck. Rick.
