I have ordered the regulator for my 120 hp Johnson as folks have advised. While I had the engine cover off I grabbed the nut holding the flywheel, pushed and pulled. There is a "clunk" sound like there is play in the crankshaft/bearing. Can see a tiny bit of sideways movement. Time for new bearings? Or new 4 stroke? Suggestions? Thanks.

A new 115 HP 4 stroke would be about $14,000 US $ and will certainly solve your problems.-----But a tiny ( your term ) amount of movement is normal for a roller bearing !----That upper bearing is hefty / robust.---And the crankshaft is the inner race of that bearing !-----So install the new regulator and go fishing.
