    Thanks billw, I did say that.  I checked the shock bearing and that seems to be fine.  The thing I can’t understand is why the powerhead is still hard to pull over even with the plus out.  To my way of thinking it should spin over pretty easily.  Once started the motor runs well and is easy to restart.  Maybe it just my old shoulders telling me it hard to pull???

    I also have a 1955 Johnson 5.5 hp and that seems easier to pull.
