Hi all,
I have a 'vintage' johnson 70 up motor. Tried tilting the motor up to replace the water pump but it won't budge at all. The motor is currently in 'run'. Ended up having to remove the motor from the transom in order to pull the lower unit.
Anyhow...trying to figure out what is going on with the tilt mechanism. The tilt release lever appears to be working fine, (locks and unlocks from pin). Can the dampers/tilt assist be stuck? FYI I have literally no movement when trying to tilt.
