Re: ‘62 5.5 evinrude

[scottshea]

Well ladies and Gentlemen, this summer is almost over and I finally have an answer. The shock absorber is my issue in my little 5.5.. Wonderful the parts not available. or should I say sparsely available. Anyhow, I am going to weld it. Does anyone have a final length this thing needs to be? Process i am reading about is clamping it together and welding it shut. If there is a better way I would like to hear it. I don’t want to over tighten it, I am thinking its not a super tight tolerance number but I do not want to ‘play’ this game any longer.
