How to remove the Johnson Bubbleback Exhaust cover?

Good job! I never would have had the patients to do that... I probably would have just sealed up the hole and ran it haha

Thanks! I didn't do a professional job on this repair, however I did the best I could. I did think about just sealing up the hole--- but that one particular screw in that location does put clamping force on the casket, so I pushed forward to doing the needed repair-- I hope it works as I think it will
 
Now moving on to check out the wiring harness for obvious damage and repairs, as you can see in the pics below-- lots of deteriorating wire insulation--- corroded exposed wires--- corroded exposed wires only connected by a few strands--- all will be cut back to good wiring and insulation then repaired. I'm doing all this now so when I finally make it to the lake I will feel much better about the wiring it repaired that I can see

I just rewired my 110, it was actually fairly easy and straight forward. Just make sure you seal everything up, otherwise you'll be doing it again... I soldered and used self sealing shrink wrap on all connections. Takes more time than a crimp connection but it looks better and will last longer.

Cool! I'm using high quality crimps and will shrink wrap my connections as I go along.

I appreciate your input!
 
I have a question please---

what do you guys use to get those Front exhaust cover screws out with?

I took mine screws out, however I can't seem to find the socket I used to remove them with, so I can reinstall them--- I know it's

thanks!
 
Well, after receiving my New Gaskets for the exhaust manifold and exhaust cover-- I went to work on removing all the old gasket material from the mating surfaces-- boy was that gasket materials baked on good!.

I finally got those part surfaces all cleaned and installed the gaskets-- then put is all back together-- but not without a few issues along the way--- however I got it done!

Like Racerone says,aluminium oxide is the culprit.It wont respond to releasing agents.
My first consideration now,when removing a stud/bolt,is the fact that 50% steel to aluminium studs will snap off.
Heating the aluminium casing seems to be the only answer.
I have found it better to use heat straight off,rather than chewing up the stud/bolt,which is where you are at at the moment.(I've got the "T" shirt)Haha

I have gotten my "T" shirt more than once over the years for this broken bolt/screws snapped in engine blocks and always managed to get them removed, however this one kicked my behind!

It done now and put back together and restarted last night about 8pm
All is good so far��
