Hi again. The years went by, and I still haven’t done anything with the seal. I have pulled out the two crankshafts from the two Johnson 25 horse powers that I bought for 80$, and they don’t look brand new either. Now I’m selling my boat and Evinrude 18 outboard, and the buyer will have to deal with the problem. I will inform the buyer prior to a purchase of course. I have purchased a brand new seal, and the two crankshafts will be provided too. So then it’s up to the buyer to decide what to do.
I will provide the buyer the link to this thread at aomci.org, to let she or him read all advices you generously have provided my on this matter. I will also post images of the two crankshafts I have pulled out from the two Johnsons I bought, so anyone on this forum may give some thoughts on the crankshafts conditions if you still wanna do me that favor.
Again, I can’t express strong enough how happy I am for all the help I got at aomci.org. Without this forum, it would have been very difficult to learn how to as an amateur I could be able to totally overhaul an Evinrude 18Hp from 1960. But I managed, almost. Thanks’ to you folks.
If you wanna have a look at my boat and outboard, visit this URL: https://www.fuglognatur.no/helt-andre-ting/ Then you may click on the images that work as menu items to access https://www.fuglognatur.no/evinrude-fastwin/ or https://www.fuglognatur.no/with-200-restaureringsprosjekt/
Remember I’m Norwegian, so you might use some translation app like Google Translate or Chat GPT or whatever.
Images of crankshafts will be present soon.
