1992 70 HP Johnson.I finally went through all the steps to get my motor running. I was running the motor with a flusher on it , I didn't realize that the flusher shifted and the water pump wasn't getting water. I shut it off but there was smoke coming from the water pump so I know that the pump...
I have to go through the same process to replace a water pump on a 1992 70HP Johnson since you have this figured out any help would be much appreciated. I would assume it's the same as the 91. Should I remove the pin before I take the bolts out of the lower unit? Do I put it in reverse to take...
