Re: just had one hell of a shock

Glad we know the exact year of the motor and the compression sounds great, so all the rest should be easy to fix. Here's a pic of where the part number for the prop "should" be on the prop as well as a parts catalog with exploded diagrams of your motor. Because your motor is a late model, it uses an electronic ignition as opposed to the older, much beloved "Universal Magneto" that vintage OMC motors have. As a result, it can be a bit tricky to troubleshoot. I don't know much about them, personally, aside from the fact that they work off of voodoo and black magic, or something to that effect, but here's a link to an article that may be of more use.

EDIT: Are you sure your motor is an 1983 model? I can't seem to find a 6 hp made that year. Double check the model/serial number and perhaps I can find the parts catalog I mentioned. The links below should help pin down the exact year.

Re: just had one hell of a shock

yes the model number is correct I have also sent leeroy an email it's a 1983 made in belgium, and your not the first to mention this,the model I have has the kill switch on the end of the tiller that you cant fit a man over board to,you just push it in to stop it
P.S leeroy did reply with the above info also said to use a 1984 manual

Re: just had one hell of a shock

I see. It's one of those funky euro models No worries. If Leeroy said to use a 1984 manual that's what we'll do. Here's the link to the parts catalog. Hope it serves.

Re: just had one hell of a shock

Here is an idea! Pull the lead while running, pull out you Johnson and wiz on the lead! I talked my best friend into that while the lawnmower was running, when we were about 6 ! He pissed all over himself as he was screaming and crying, and I pissed my pants as I was laughing!!!!! Thats a very good lesson on electric shock!
