My recommendation is to buy your new fuel line with primer bulb from an Evinrude dealer. The OEM line is much better quality than the aftermarket ones. IF you decide to buy aftermarket, I would recommend buying two OMC style single line fuel fittings and a primer bulb separately. Then buy the length of rubber 5/16" fuel hose from an auto parts store that you want and assemble it yourself. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

@@davidnicholls172 Your motor is a 1983 model. Thanks for watching!

@@oldjohnnyrude8404 Thanks! I like your site.

@@davidnicholls172 Thank you!

@@SindreKristiansen-v9e ¿1980? This motor in 1980 would have been a 4hp. They were derated to 3hp when the new OBC HP rating standards made all outboard manufacturers list HP at the prop shaft instead of theoretical HP at the crankshaft. This became official circa 1986. Thanks for watching!

@@SindreKristiansen-v9e Thanks for watching!

You're getting an excellent motor. The 22c.i OMCs are my favorites. I will try to assist you if you have some questions. bbreitner at hotmail dot com and good luck with your motor. Thanks for watching!

@@outboardfixer Yes, this is the same McCulloch motor woth a different hood and decals on it. The hoods on these mostly all disintegrated. Finding one with a hood that just has a couple of cracks in it was pretty unusual. This one does sound healthy when it's running, but it still has issues that need to be addressed. I'll get back after it when I feel like cussing again. I'm working on a couple other Scotty-Macs now building one out of two. I'm hoping it will be a good motor when I'm done. Thanks for watching!

@@oldjohnnyrude8404 Yep...I looked for hood for a long time. Someone more talented than me might be able to fix it but it is bad. Thanks for the great Vid.

@@lucatimer1234 Thank you! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I have the Evinrude version of your Johnson 15. Excellent motors. One of my keepers that I plan to always have. The old outboard rabbit hole is an easy one to fall down, it seems. I know I did. I have a video in this channel that outlines the build of my remote controls in this Aerocraft P-12. Check it out if you're interested. Thanks for watching!

@@oldjohnnyrude8404 Appreciate it man, I love the motor. Runs smooth and pushes my 14ft v-hull at 21mph. It had been put in storage about 15 years ago with a spun prop and bad fuel pump/lines. Easy enough fix :). I found the build vid, thanks!

@@travisblake1222 They're great motors. Glad it was an easy fix. The 9.9/15 motors do need their own steering cable connector bracket and control cable anchors from the majority of the classic OMC motor design. Those parts are available. Marineengine.com probably will still carries the parts.

Often this happens when the engine no longer has sufficient compression to run with the backpressure of the water filling the bottom half of the exhaust housing. This is especially common with smaller HP motors that often get run at full throttle for extended periods or even nearly 100% of their run time. This may be able to.be corrected wit a new set of piston rings and honing the cylinders to restore the cross hatch in the bores. If the bores are too worn, then the cylinders would need to be bored and honed for oversized pistons and rings. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

@@nigelbeaumont1109 It did turn out to be a terrific runner. I'm very happy to have saved this one. Thanks for watching!

If your boat is already set up for remote controls, it isn't really difficult at all. In the case of this boat, it was just an open hull utility skiff when I purchased it. I built pretty much everything in it besides the control box and control cables. I habe a video on this channel that goes over the build of the controls on this boat. It doesn't show the build process, but I go over what I did and show how it is built. You may want to check that one out. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for getting back to me so fast man! I appreciate it, I’ll definitely check out that video. I’m gonna throw the FD-19 on my 14ft, 1970 alumacraft model F. Hope it flies like yours does!

@@jtrkla You're welcome. That motor will make that Model F scoot!

They're great motors. The 22c.i OMCs are my favorites. Good luck with yours and thanks for watching!

@@joshuaevans6944 They typically end up somewhere around 3/4 to 1 turn out from lightly seated on both needles. I would suggest referring to my video on Dialing in a Carburetor for a more indepth description. Thanks for watching!

But you have a Newer Honda on your profile pic! 😅

The older motors definitely had a lot more variety and styling. Thanks for watching!

@@jeanhagens9070 I don't know the exact difference. That suffix letter is a mid-year change. It is usually something very subtle. Thanks for watching!

@@oldjohnnyrude8404 Thanks! Do you ever sell any of these motors that you review?

@@jeanhagens9070 Yes, I do sell a couple from time to time. I'll have a couple 10hp OMCs and a couple 5.5s for sale before too long. I have to get a few motors prepped for sale in the Spring. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. It is a decently powerful motor for its size. I'm glad to have added it to the collection just for its uniqueness. Thanks for watching!

I still have that fascination. Seeing what makes the different ones tick is pretty interesting. Thanks for watching!

@@treeandaturd 😆 The appearance may be a bit of an acquired taste. LOL. I kinda like the looks of these, but they're certainly different. It turned out to be a really nice runner. Well worth saving from the scrap pile. Thanks for watching!

@@betageek66 Yeah, West Bend had some styling in the 60s that definitely drew from the Space Age designs. I love the spacey styling West Bend used on their 60s motors. Thanks for watching!

@@patrickquirk-qz8ri Not this motor. This is a Fishing Scott variant built by Scott-McCulloch then just McCulloch. This motor still retains the old Scott-Atwater Bail A Matic boat bailer feature. Chrysler bought West Bend in 1965 and built Sea Kings for Montgomery Ward after Gale Products division of OMC went under. Thanks for watching!

@@pryan05p71 Very solid motors. Thanks for watching!

Do you know which Wizard it was? Mercury built lots of them and Scott-McCulloch built a bunch of them also. Thanks for watching!

These have their roots in Scott-Atwater, but by the time these were being built, McCulloch had taken over. There were a lot of outboard motor brands through the years here in the States. Thanks for watching!

@@tommymoore6370 I guess I'm not sure what squeal you're referring to. I know some have more gear whine in the lower unit than others do. If you're hearing a squealing sound when you're backing off the throttle down, maybe you are hearing a bearing that is failing. Thanks for watching!

@@oldjohnnyrude8404 i guess it's gear whine I'm hearing because I heard the same noise coming from your moter I knew wasn't a bearing because i would have already locked up several moters by now thanks so much for your reply

@@tommymoore6370 I would agree, it is probably gear whine from the lower unit that you're hearing. Thanks again for watching!

He was right, the hoods are flimsy and they don't really exhude the quality of many other motors of.the time period. They run nicely when everything is right. This one runs fairly when when it wants to run. It gave me some issues and it definitely needs to be tuned up. Neat little motors that run decent. A bit of a pain to work on but a neat curiosity for my collection. Thanks for watching!

@@oldjohnnyrude8404 I still have his Ted Williams electric 12 volt trolling motor my aunt got him...... still works

I have seen a few different graphics and colors of the Elgin version of this motor. I have not seen as many West Bend branded ones. It would be nice if this one still had the original badging, but I'm working on some decals at least. If your motor is idling funny, it either needs the carburetor cleaned and adjusted, it could have a bad condenser or a failing plug wire, one set of points may be dirty, or the ignition timing may be off slightly. They're nice runners when they're all.set up right. Thanks for watching!

@@oldjohnnyrude8404 I have a 6hp that acts the same way. Kinda like a v8 with a high lift cam shaft at idle. Lots of spark though. Thanks for the tip.👍✌

@@JD-hh9io You're welcome!

I didn't realize they built outboards until I got my first Elgin outboard years ago. I was surprised at that time when I found out they were built for Sears by West Bend Aluminum. Chrysler purchased the West Bend Outboard Motor division in 1965 and sold off the Marine division to US Marine in the 1980s where it then became Force and was soon bought by Brunswick. Thanks for watching!

@oldjohnnyrude8404 I was born in 1963, so no wonder I was off a bit on the history of these motors. I still live in my native West Bend. Chrysler and, in turn, Force were built in Hartford about ten miles from where I live. Wisconsin has a long history in outboard motor manufacturing with Evinrude starting in Milwaukee and Mercury now in Fond du Lac. I believe Johnson started in Racine, just south of Milwaukee.

It really runs great all-around. Very nice top end, midrange, as well as a near perfect idle. I really couldn't be happier that i saved this one. Thanks for watching!

It's a sweetheart for being a fugitive from the scrapper. Thanks for watching!

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Yeah, I was never wild about the single clamp idea, especially on a motor with more hp than about 2. Even on the 60s OMC 3hps, I'm not crazy about the single clamp. They did put some pretty aggressive spikes on the pad side of the clamp to.give it some grip. The motor only flopped on the steering swivel when it tried to join me in the boat. I was waiting for it to twist off though. This isn't a motor I would run a lot, but it is a neat curiosity for the collection. Yes, I do agree this kind of goes against what McCulloch did, but like the Bail A Matic, I think this may have been a Scott design first. Thanks for watching!

@oldjohnnyrude8404 Yes, but what about the "stacked... double impeller statement"? What he heck is that?

It's a really nice running motor. Not the most powerful 7.5, but pretty comparable to others of the time. This one is quite light weight and performs well for its size. The shift and throttle are pretty odd, but West Bend did do things a little differently back in their day. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. I'm glad to have saved it. Thanks for watching!

Did the Sears version have the Sears brand name on it or Elgin? I'm kind of surprised Sears didn't have the impeller available at the time. Sears still had lots of parts for a lawn tractor from the 60s that I was working on when I was a kid in the '80s pre-internet. I like the West Bend motors a lot. They're usually good runners. Thanks for watching!

@@oldjohnnyrude8404 elgin

@@wilco3588 yes, the prop on these motors is pretty specific to these motors only. Not much else out there that really works. The internet has certainly made finding some things much easier than it used to be. Thanks for watching!

@@Earthneedsado-over177 I love these 22c.i OMCs. Glad I could bring back those memories. Thanks for watching!

@@donk499 Yessir! I love these motors! Thanks for watching, Don!

The West Bends will usually idle down very nicely as long as everything is right. I wish this one still had the emblems on the side too. If it did have them, someone probably would have taken the whole cowl and left the rest so.at least I have the cowl. I'll see if I can make some decent decals for it instead. It's an excellent runner. Thanks for watching!

Yep, it does have that Pinball Wizard vibe, LOL. That stubby tiller handle is pretty hilarious. It would be a nicer handling motor with a longer tiller, but it sure is cute. LOL. The little thing runs really nicely, though. Thanks for watching, Don!

Getting the boat to plane with smaller motors depends very much on weight distribution, hull length, and trim angle. For the small motors, keeping some ballast in the bow to help hold it down against the operator's weight in the stern and keeping the trim fully tucked to help push the stern up and bow down is usually the best bet. I had an extra fuel tank and a small backup motor in the bow as ballast. If I leaned forward, I gained another 9.5 mph and got closer to planing. This motor never completely planes the hull off, but it was pretty close. Thanks for watching!

@@donk499 These things are strange, but I'm drawn to them for their compact size. I have a couple others to work on for practice before I tear into this one so I don't mess something up on my good one. Thanks for watching!

@@davidparlee3102 This is a fun little lake to run motors on amd one of the only lakes anywhere close to me that allows me to swap motors on shore near the launch. It really is a nice runner. I'm quite happy with it. Thanks for watching, David!

Yes, I'm really happy this motor pumps water. I'll probably end up doing the stacked Merc impellers at some point. I knew the motor ran and pumped water when I bought it. I watched the seller run it the previous day. Thanks for watching!

​@oldjohnnyrude8404 what is a double stacked impeller??? Two impellers squeezed into the height of a single impeller housing??? How can that possibly be??? Please explain! 😢

@@fastwin493 I don't get it either, fast...?

@@leepatton1180 Yeah, don't do that. Also, don't stand up.innthe boat to start it either. Ay least if you're sitting down, you won't fall.out of the boat if the motor is started in gear. They did add the safety mechanism (that always gets messed up) in the 1970s to prevent starting them in gear. Best bet is.to just be careful and make sure it is neutral before you start the motor. They definitely can get you if you're not careful. Thanks for watching!

It really is a great runner. The 71 Electric Start 20 I ran along with this one last week is really a screamer. My grandpa said the same thing about the "striped a-- ape" LOL. He is largely responsible for my refinement. 😜 On the subject of whether or not a pre-1964 18hp OMC is capable of regular operation using 50:1 fuel mix... I will never recommend anyone stray from the original factory recomended mix ratio for these motors. On a personal level, though, I have thoroughly researched the construction of the 22c.i OMCs. The rod bearings did change design slightly in the early years of them, however all of them were fully jeweled engines. I still running my pre-1964 18s on 24:1 as a rule, but have run them on 50:1 in a pinch. I also built a '62 Fastwin out of the parts pile that I have run on nothing but 50:1 since I built it and it has shown no signs of trouble. I really think any of the 18s are OK on 50:1, BUT they were not factory recomended for it until 1964. Internals are essentially identical from 1957, but I did read or hear something about coated pistons beginning in 1964 with the switch to 50:1. I don't know if there is any validity to that or not. So, I don't habitually run my pre-1964 22c.i OMCs on 50:1, but I probably could. I still figure that the earlier ones have carburetor adjustments to dial them in with any mixture you run, so 24:1 will run perfectly and oil.is cheap compared to rebuilding powerheads. I am still running the '62 on nothing but 50:1 as an experiment and I'll continue to do that. I'm thinking I may take that motor to the cabin and run the crap out of it up there too. I'd never run the 10hps on 50:1, and will not recommend 50:1 in a pre-64 18hp, but I do believe they'll survive. 24:1 will make any of them last longer though. I even think there is plenty of "wiggle room" with a '64-up fixed jet 18hp to run 24:1 without causing a lean condition from the extra oil displacing fuel in the mix. That's my 0.02. Thanks for watching!

@@oldjohnnyrude8404 Thanks very much for your thoughts on the topic.

@@GlenB1963 Thank you. I have been looking for one of these woth an intact hood for quite a few years. I was very glad to finally find one. It runs well when it wants to.

Not bad motors. Thanks for watching!
