1976 25HP JOHNSON Seahorse

[Jdude1]

I am in the process of starting the ignition tune up kit and cleaning points ETC.. I would like to know if anyone knows the torque on the flywheel nut the model number is 25RL76E I will probably replace the coil on this as well - just trying to cover my bases I don't have a back up motor its on a 14ft boat (don't want to get stranded) Thanks in advance.:joyous:

Not a pro, but the manual I have says:
480-540 Inch lbs
which equals
40-45 ft lbs

In 77, they went up to 1200 - 1260 in lbs (100-105 ft lbs)

It's not a "Factory Service Manual" I have for that engine though, so I'd only use these if nobody else chimes in with factory service manual specs....

Hope it helps!

ok good to know thank you

also can someone chime in on how to clean and set points on this - I have a repair manual for outboards but it is general not much about setting or cleaning points. Thanks
