[QUOTE="old_fart, post: 481952, member: 28990"] Well, I'll admit to it being mannnnnnny year ago, in a previous life, but Iowa man-made lakes had a 6HP limit in those days and there were a lot of them 6 & 5.5 motors around... When OMC let loose the 9.9/15 (around '74, I think) a 6HP restrictor kit was quickly made available to allow the 9.9 to live on those lakes (you could get the 9.9 with electric start). I looked somewhere at the parts breakdown on that vintage motor motor, and looking at the picture I'd want to agree with you, but I can't remember having to pop a powerhead... On some motor of that vintage you could drop the gearcase and just barely get at the bottom screw of the connector. The bottom shift linkage would have to be really short??? -W [/QUOTE]
