I'd like to see what the compression is now that you have it running.
I can re test it and let you know, always ticks up a bit after running them
You definitely have carburetor problems I'm betting the hight speed ideal and the jet are plugged up what I use is welding tip cleaners
Great tip! It ends up the packing needed replaced in the carb! I’ll cover more on the next episode!
I have a 1959 Johnson 3.5 with the weedless lower unit self contained fuel tank 50-1gass oil mix on it it told me to mix 1 gt of 30 grade motor oil to a 6 gallon tank it had sat for years the neadal valve was stuck and fuel bowel was a sludge factory checked compression new J4 plugs pushes my 10ft John boat fine carry a 1 gallon Jerry can with me for extended range never used it as to fishing all day and half of the built in tank
Those little 3 or 3.5hp are gems! And I think they’re massively under rated on the hp. I fixed a 59 3hp and I could go 5mph on a 16 foot flat bottom! Great motors
That is the gearshift on the side the throttle is the front handle

You can polish your hammer faces to prevent the hammer from transferring whatever dings or scratches on its face to metal parts you hit with it. Don’t know how useful it would be for this application but i bet there are some parts that could do with a little less marring. Free tech tip of the day
Is that a 5hp
7.5hp
Thanks for the video man. I love learning more about outboards. Plus you area regular guy and very relatable. I am now a new subscriber.
Appreciate the love! I love tinkering on all these outboards! I’ll have more coming soon
you wouldn't happen to have the old manual for that by chance?
I don’t have the specific manual for it. But I may have the general clymer manual for that set of years. What info do you need?
