You don’t need to inspect any gears yet. Just remove the lower unit assembly, whole, and set it aside. Then go back to the top end of the engine and see if the flywheel will turn. If it DOES, then the problem is with the lower unit. If it still does NOT turn, the problem is internal with the power head..

I had the lower unit off already and it seams fine. What is in the powerhead that could cause it to not move?, just seized heads?

I have stripped all the bolted on parts off the head to inspect, clean and repair if needed. The soaking seams to have worked on the top piston as all the crap is gone. I soaked the bottom one and will take the head off tomorrow. I don’t know the names for everything so is there a manual still available? I will need parts.

Thanks for the help, I need it on this one.
