    I’m thinking a good used/reasonably priced crank won’t be hard to find.
    You post that this is a 1975 25hp, yet the pictures show universal mag ignition, these engines used low tension ignition in 1975. So, be sure to confirm the year of your engine before looking for another crank.
    Your flywheel tapers may be damaged/distorted by that lousy crank as well.

    Thanks Don.

    Yeah, I believe this is a transported powerhead from an earlier version. I haven’t verified exactly what year yet, have to dig deeper. Someone blew her up in the past and transplanted this on.

    Has anyone ever filled a gouge before while on motor, then used compound to lap the tapers?
