@@brianbowman1148 All pumps in good working order. All but the white one have new impellers. The thick omc rubber splines makes them sturdy and durable. Thanks for watching

@@ShawnBaker-xx3gz Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate them!

@@ShawnBaker-xx3gz Glad you liked it. Good to know people enjoy my videos and bring back memories

Yes

@@OutboardMotorFun Well, I had no doubts...

No.

@@nikoskag816 Good for another 60 years!

@@JBOutboards Thanks, someone cared for this engine. You can really tell when they have been hammered on and worn out, this one is tight.

@@DanielSWOOD-d7o Well at least I made “Cool”. Glad you liked it Thanks for watching

@@ShawnBaker-xx3gz East side of Oak Harbor. Not too far in the big world

@OutboardMotorFun outstanding..I like it up there, Iam a professional mariner some times we use the shipyard in Anacortes for winter maintenance great area.

@@edwardmurphy-1153 They are actually tiny motors. Looks like a toy next to the OMC 5hp stuff

@@williambrieske4106 Nice! See you out there this summer.

@@kevingordon1312 As we get older, a nice sunny calm cold day has to be enjoyed even in winter. I alway try to have fun. Get those engines out ASAP!

@@Gnarz1234 I am vest lucky to live in this area of the world. Glad you liked it!

Better in person. Nice harmonics to them.

Your welcome!

Nice to cheat old man winter and be on the water!

@@TJD656 All these OMC parts are cheap on eBay. Me personally wouldn’t spend more then $100 on a working one, but if it’s nice and original just have fun if you can afford it

@islandtoybox it's on craiglist, not to far from my house. But, I don't know, not the one I really want. It's a clean motor, like if someone had it in the closet it's life. I'll probably hold off for a 5 1/2 - 57 evinrude. The reasoning, my dad had a 35 hp. 1957 had some good times. Man you get the deals, we don't have to many around here because of the heavy salt water. They corrode if you don't take care of them.

Awesome Thanks for making this video. I love these old motors. I just finished up a 54 Johnson 10hp and now working on a 56 Johnson 7.5 hp. They are amazing motors. Beautiful sounds

Stop before the addiction starts….its a great hobby especially when you can save a throwaway motor from the scrap pile. To me it’s rewarding to practically gift it to someone in need or who wants to learn about these engines.

It’s a good safety feature both for the bike and your legs. No brainer for me!

@@DustinKeating-yk3vq It’s a good relaxing hobby. My collection is very small but I use all mine…Once you learn the basics of engine repair you can find free motors all over the place and fix them easy.

@@Generalleeawesome KZ was meant for the North American market. The K was European. This bike has a Made in Japan on the frame. They started to make then in the states around 78-79 I think. This bike landed in Long Beach the fall of 1976

@ Again where are you obtaining this information? My restoration manual published by Chris Rooke states that the K in KZ “differentiate between the motorcycles made in japan with the K added they were generally made in the new plant in Nebraska,USA” . page 9

@ The K was bikes designated for North America, drop the K and they were for the European Market probably emissions stuff. My info came from the family of the original owner who picked up the bike in the port of Los Angeles Long Beach and the fact the frame plate states “built in Japan” There are forums and FB groups that could give you all the info you need. Maybe I am wrong if so, I apologize

@@TJD656 I have a model 125 and a Model 165. Some people call them Hummers but that model came later then mine. I keep them as wall art but they both run

@islandtoybox yes sir, I was just asking, we had talked about your harley hummers a year ago or so, You thought me something I didn't know that they made two models. Now I know. Thank you, keep up the good work.

@@tobibl6538 It’s close to Seattle in Puget Sound. Thanks for watching

@@1jacquesnel Thanks will do.

@@willssmallenginerepairllc5060 The 93 is a much faster motor but more complicated to work on.

Thanks!

@@johnbreland4099 Carburetor work can be an masking issue. Always start with compression check, then electrical tune then carburetor. Things will calm inline from there. Good luck

@@kodibassInsideoutboards Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

@@MrNorm-lr5iv Very well built motors and easy to work on. There will still be millions of these motors 50years from now.

@ the retro old motors literally have a personality or face on the power heads. Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame exhibit in Hayward WI has huge display of these. It’s an eerie feeling walking the past history of where these came from. The stories they could tell if they could talk.😂

@@race929 Thank you. I looked a long time for it. Hard to find good plastics but the custom seat sold me.

Nope, red one is a '57 3hp, not a 3 1/2 hp, Johnson never made those. Green one is a '55.

​@@VintageOutboardManare you sure, you are correct about the hp. But, now the year, didn't johnson and evinrude in 57 had the letters written in cursive and only in 57 then in 58 they went back to block letters. That is why I said a 1958. Let me know I'm not that old and can't remember 66 years ago. I was still in diapers. lol

@TJD656 You're partially right there. Evinrude had their cursive style in '57. Johnson had it in '58. In '56, Johnsons were red top to bottom. In '57, the cowling was red with white (white bracket and top), and in '58 they were white with red (red bracket and top).

@@VintageOutboardMan ok, basically it was opposite on the johnson. Q.2. Didn't johmson have a fuel pump on the motors first and was that in 57.

@@TJD656 Both Evinrude and Johnson switched to fuel pumps (instead of the pressure tanks) in 1960. I believe the fuel pumps were first tested on their Gale production line in about '58 or '59, but I could be wrong there.

@@donk499 I did a video and mentioned your help.I will post it soon. It was that little lower gasket. The engine runs much better but you are correct...it still needs work.

@@OutboardMotorFun Let me know if you want the factory sync instructions. Don

@@pryan05p71 You too, thank you for all the nice comments!

@@pjimmbojimmbo1990 Anything prior to The Thunderbolt ignition is good for me!

@@OutboardMotorFun Thunderbolt Ignition was a Name introduced in the Mid 60s, and there were many Variations in the Design over the Years, even within Model Years.

@@ericvonp Fish food!

@@songbird6362 I don’t name them….I guess it’s shaped like a rainbow or something. Thanks for watching!

@@MegaBait1616 Thanks. Having fun with it!
