it is a newly gifted 1966 Johnson 33hp . . . with a long shaft.
This is the one I have just refurbished the gear case. It is all sealed up
now and just closed up the water pump with the pin in the short shaft…..
got it all buttoned up and – – – – –
oh wait – THERE’S MORE !!!!! I forgot to put in the new shaft seal
that goes under the water pump 😳
luckily, easy fix….. but, like Pappy said, the after market seals will always
give you FITS !!! The metal case shaft hole was .002" too small so it had
to be "wallered out" a little to fit. Nice smooth fit now.
SO !!! Now, the lower unit is COMPLETELY refurbished !!! moving up this weekend
to the powerhead and see what is going on there…… I am a complete NOVICE to
working on my own outboards….. but, I have a manual, WITH pictures LOL LOL.
so, if I can get spark in two cylinders and compression, there is no reason why
this baby shouldn’t fire right up. Carb has been rebuilt and all that is left is to get
a diaphragm for the fuel pump . . . or, another fuel pump if that one is not rebuildable.
fun fun fun !!!
