Re: 9.5hp Johnson/Evinrude characteristics

I worked on a 1964-65 it was my buddy’s Grandfathers. It had the metal springs setup for suspension on front of motor way better than my 1967. It has the rubber suspension on front of motor. I tried yesterday to move the motor from front to back with my on strength in the external shells. I got some movement not a lot. Today I will try to move it side-to-side didn’t think of that. I think in the end I will put lower unit on it and watch with the hood off to see what kind of movement I’m getting with it running.

When I purchased this motor the power head was locked up and the gear case was disassembled parts in a bucket. I went through the entire engine and put the gear case back together had to order some parts since they looked to have had salt water in them for a prolonged period.

I don’t think its the gears its popping all the way into neutral and stays there normally. Not a clicking thing or grinding thing.

One thing that is weird is when I first put it in gear after having gear case apart first few times it didn’t pop out of gear. Then it started to. I put it back into gear with a good snap and it would work like 50% of time no popping out of gear. If I kept my hand on the gear lever and kept a bit of pressure on it then it wouldn’t pop out of gear. Guess I need to do some more digging.

Any help is appreciated.
