Well something is WRONG. I put the exhaust system back on the engine and it seemed too far back in the chassis. So I pulled on the drive belt checking tension and the secondary clutch just opened with no tension. I wonder now if the vibration I felt was something there and not the engine. The secondary looks like the spring is dislodged or broken. I HOPE there is nothing wrong with the input shaft. It is a good thing I opened the engine and spotted the flaking upper rod bearing. BUT now I am far away from a test drive that I had hoped to do this weekend. Ordered a new spring from Boats.net. If this is all that is broken it will be the second one that broke. P.S. Dug out the secondary clutch puller. Maybe tomorrow I will start on seeing what is wrong ?
