No sealer used and usually isn't on a head of valve cover, just the gasket. I would guess a stall when putting into gear is a fuel/air mixture problem, clean the carb.
Thanks. Appreciate it. Do you know what the initial settings should be on the idle and the air mixture screws should be?I don’t have a book for it. Do you know what size adapter I would need for a compression test. Only have standard size I use on my Evinrude?
I just slid it up off the gear. Make sure you mark location of small gear to flywheel so your timing is correct. I give quite a bit of content/comment on the valve timing in video.
