Re: Johnson HD-25 2-1/2 hp parts

[Buccaneer]

Thanks for the replies. It looks like the first HD-25 I pulled
off the rack was the best as far as compression.
Two others had even compression of 65 psi, and
the other, which probably has stuck rings, as I seen
signs of rust on the spark plug, had 54 & 59 psi.
I didn’t notice the difference in decals, but then again,
there’s not much for decals left on any of them.
Will have to look at the transom pads to see if my 50 model
is different from the others.
The prop shaft seal said "Garlock, Part # XX.
For fun, I’ll have to check the number and see if it jives
with any on this Garlock dimension chart…..

I haven’t seen the drive shaft sealing system yet, but from
the diagram, it shows a spring and grease retainer below
a short tube. Is that a conventional seal, or more like
a packing that’s unavailable?

Hopefully I get at least one running good…… they’re
cute little power heads!

Prepare to be boarded!
