Started over today without luck. Up against a hard place. Can align neutral clutch tube and water tube and upper driveshaft spline. Cannot get the last 1/4 inch of movement needed to close it tight. Without the washer and o-ring disk it does go all the way. So, I made an alignment tool from a wood dowel and a plastic conduit. Still won’t go. Went back to using the driveshaft as the alignment. Same results. Can’t get it closed. I will button everything back up without the washer and plastic seal o-ring.
Now I am shifting over to the practice/parts TN28 that I have. Will pull the powerhead from that and see if these seals will go in from above. You all have been very helpful. Open to any other ideas you may have. Have removed water tube and bolts and nuts from practice TN28. Now I have to persuade that powerhead to come off. I doesn’t just pull straight up as the book says it should. Will get a rubber mallet and a pry bar to “gently” persuade it. I shall endeavor to persevere.
