Re: 1969 Johnson 25 hp 25R69D

Before you go blowing any money on that motor it might do well to tear into the lower end .Does not cost much to open and reseal it but a bad clutch dog and worn forward gear can ruin your whole day .The reason I would do that is if that is truly a 1969 motor it is before the spring and detent balls were introduced and they loved to pop out of gear.It will run and idle with your compression numbers but don’t expect outstanding power.
