Re: 77 Johnson 35 problems

I did not do the water pump. In my post it says the PO did the water pump last year before I bought it. I have not been inside the leg yet. The gear lube is full and a clean green color. Listening as best I can the sound seems to be coming from the same area as the large hole the water is coming out of. I will pull the oval plate off the leg tomorrow and see if I can pin point it better. If not….off comes the lower. Was really hoping this one was going to be a quick flip, but I can’t in good conscience sell it until I figure out this noise. It does not seem to be from the power head.
