Hey, just been kind of curious regarding that 6 HP Johnson motor you got. How much would it cost to replace the water pump assembly and the pinion that you mention is messed up with it. Also am wondering how difficult of a job that is to do yourself, if you know by any chance.

Those are the two parts I believe you need, the water pump assembly and the starter interlock (Its a plastic piece that holds the starter rope piece in place.)
I don't think it is very difficult if you are used to doing minor repairs to your own car/ lawn mower etc.
I disassembled the motor last year when I was was going to work on it myself. The hardest part was actually just getting the lower unit back on b/c you have to line up the water hose and the gear shaft (two pipes basically) in holes that you can't really see when you are putting it back together. A little frustrating, but not difficult. Lot's of videos on youtube, and this guys website was pretty helpful. http://www.leeroysramblings.com/OMC_6hp.htm
I was going to work on it my self, then sell it as a working motor, but I told myself that 8 months ago and still haven't done it, so I decided to just try and sell it. (Fund a kayak purchase)
