seakaye12, I rotated the flywheel in neutral and in gear and couldn’t feel a difference. I also rotated the propeller in gear and it felt like any other evinrude or johnson I have dealt with. I drained the lower end and the fluid was in great shape. I am really dragging my feet on pulling the lower end since everything seems normal. the lower end is one piece so I can’t take the bottom cover off to check the gears. I want to go back to what you mentioned initially about a lean running condition. there is an adjustable needle valve with a spring on it but it has a keeper on it that does not allow adjustment over 3/4 turns unless you take the keeper off. I can mess with that a little. Can the electronic ignition have anything to do with the problem? When I run the motor in the barrel, in both forward and reverse I can tell that the propeller is working correctly, but when I give it gas, it boggs down. Maybe I need to redo the carb? I am stumped, but I think the problem is simple. Can you think of anything else. thanks
