I just purchased a mint 1972 6R-72D Johnson 50th Anniversary. It will not run. I did a little searching and came across "T-Mikes" Vintage Outboard Restoration. I found Mike's post to be full of great information and simple to follow. Mike knows his stuff and explains what he is doing very well. I would like to say thanks for sharing your wealth of information. Watching his post I hope to have my 1972 6hp running soon. Thanks Mike

[@JBOutboards]

This information is gold. Thank you for your terribly helpul videos.

[@leepeterke4376]

Great info, helped me out on my 1962 9.5hp Johnson, love all the videos

[@ddd3240]

71 Johnson. Nothing wrong with it but enjoyed learning something new. Thanks for the vid.

[@normanadams2318]

You have a wonderful amount of knowledge, enjoy watching

[@danielrobert7181]

Beau travail, mon ami !

[@jimmysapien9961]

Mike you are A God Gifted Man ! Your Video was very good . I too have a 6hp Evenrude
I’ve had for Years & it needs to be worked on . Thank you for Showing us How!

[@jamesmichael3998]

I've noticed that sometimes the spark plug wire has a bad connection where it goes into the coil, if so the spark plug wire can be cut back 1/2 inch and reinserted back into the coil. Great show. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

[@kentyler966]

Good stuff for me, I think I have a bad spark plug wire. Should be able to stumble through this to confirm. I’m pretty poor with electrical things. Thanks!

[@ct1762]

make sure you set the cam follow to open exactly as the mark on the throttle came comes in its center. if the carb throttle plate is CLOSED completely, these are designed to shut off as they dont have a stop button so no low speed butterfly calibration. cyl head temp is taken at the TOP of the head 125-152 degrees at 900 rpm FYI.

[@zenonsantiago8780]

TY sir. Great video.

[@michaeljsimon]

You are very welcome

[@haroldpowell6860]

I have a 1972 Johnson 4hp 4W72S. Do you have a video on how to repair the pull start recoil system? or a page out of a manual that I can go by? Thank You. Your video's are great.

[@HEAVYTHEP]

i just emailed you back and thanks again

[@grahamferguson6793]

Help, will a 1969 johnson 6hp lower unit fit on a 1974 evinrude 6hp. Both short shaft

[@michaeljsimon]

I would compare part numbers on marine engine.com

[@tonybruno7848]

When you run your motors they all seem to be idling a little too fast. Won't they idle down and stay running?

[@aaronlambert1464]

I watch your videos all the time and it has helped me out so much. Thank you for that. Where do you get your spark plug tester?
