"Hello all.
I've searched archives but have not been able to find out what the torque specifications are for the flywheel bolts to a 1972 Mercury 800 (80 hp). I need both the center/main bolt to the crank, as well as the bolts that the flywheel actually mounts to. It looks like whoever had this before me and my brother had it loose to replace the stator (and a whole host of internal wiring harness issues) but that they lost interest.
I've redone the wiring on the inside and repaired the leads on the stator. Now I just need to tighten things up, but know I need to do it right.
I know my first two purchases (other than the wire I already bought) need to be a new impeller and a Seloc manual, but I was hoping to get things buttoned up before I could have one shipped to me. I would do the online thing, but I'm really into having a paper manual.
What sayeth the group? Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give.
Jason"
