I have a 1991 Johnson 150 Fastrike. The starter assembly keeps shooting up when I try to start it and blows through and breaks the top cover that houses the top bearing. This all started when I replaced the Driven gear. The gear looks good to the ***** eye. I have spoken to three Johnson mechanics and they say I am installing everything right, but have never heard of this before. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
