Re: Johnson 2R72M

The auto electric shop called today saying the motor had a dead short, probably in the windings. I’ll put it together and on the rack for now. A few questions still… Where did that L/U come from? How did it disengage from the gears? Did the prop push the gears away? It came with no spark plug so no compression… Would it have worked if the gears were removed? Is that how the motor burnt out? Well, my "gears are stripped" on this one. Maybe someone else would like to take a shot at it. Thank you all for your interest. Slim
