problem is the only place i can see to shim the lower unit is in the forward gear right in the nose of the unit and on top of the drive shaft- will run
FstaRockr Burns Yesterday, 11:50 PMAny time you change driveshaft you must check shimming....don't run it till you have it checked.
faztbullet Yesterday, 11:11 PMI have 5.5hp Johnson that’s around a 59 model the other day fishing I pulled the shifter lever with a firm tug and now it acts like it’s stripped
Dixietruck Yesterday, 11:11 PMIt’s the big screw. Yeah I have the petronix. The flamethrower coil stays cools. Once I put the new timing belt on I’ll adjust the timing again.

1988 johnson 25hp - not going past 2000 rpms (+-)
starts / idles well (although tends to sneeze and die so will check idle adjustment). Water pump good - when u accelerate in gear it dies around 2000+.
