Firstly I have been trying to find a manual, ( followed some links on here but they was dead ends) 8 hp think its about a 2000 to 2005, i have bought this as a spare to my main engine and am intrigued about a cover plate on the leg, i have the feeling I should be shoving some grease down it so to speak, anybody know what it is ?
Gear shift rather than clutch?
Anyway - yes. Worth a look now and again since the clamp onto the 2 shafts can come lose sometimes. I have a 5 - and they’d welded the 2 shafts together!!
All back to “as new” now and even running it more or less once a year, always starts up 1st or 2nd pull (mine has a Johnson sticker on it though)
