Hi all. I need to remove the powerhead from my motor, and I can't get it to budge...not even a millimeter. Manual says to remove the cowling, spark plugs, starter, recoil starter assembly, carbs, fuel filter, magneto, CDI base, linkage rods, the 8 bolts and washers that secure the powerhead to the drive shaft housing, then lift the powerhead from the drive shaft housing. I removed all the listed, but the thing will not move. I took off the cylinder head cover and used the cylinder to put my hand to help me get a better grip and stood on a step for better leverage. Nothing. I even used a bar through the engine lift ring that is bolted onto the motor. Am I missing something? I saw no other bolts that were holding it down, and like I said, I am following the manual, but it won't move. Please help and thank you in advance. God loves you - Gene.
