"I have a 1980 Johnson Tilt Trim assembly. I just did a complete seal job and also replaced the trim motor.
My problem: I checked the trim motor after assembly to see if it worked. The motor only worked while the down button was pressed. The solenoid clicked when the up button was pressed. I didn't replace the trim fluid yet because I want to make sure I don't have to tear down the unit again. Also, the assembly bleed screw feels like it is welded tight. I'm unable to move it. Please give a diagnosis.
I'm going to directly attach the battery to the motor to see if it works. Will posts results tomorrow."
