Reply To: 1955 Johnson CD-12 Clutch Spring

[Buccaneer]

I should be able to undo the six bolts holding the powerhead on,
and the one bolt from the fuel hose connector, and pull the
powerhead.
The bearing housing plate under the impeller plate wasn’t
“popped up” when I removed the impeller housing bolts,
acting like the spring was sprung, but perhaps gasket
sealant was holding it down.
Guess I might as well bite the bullet……. won’t take long to
find out if the spring has been causing havoc.
Thanks.

Prepare to be boarded!
