I have absolutely no reason to be watching this particular video. So, here I am. I have the cat on my lap and am two coffees into the morning, engrossed by the video presentation and author's delivery and enjoying every second of the video and even rewinding at times to review. I wonder whether somewhere deep inside me there's a mechanic striving to get out.
Ive workef on 2 and 4 cycle engines for close to 40 years and have seen many 4 strokes with fuel or oil hydo locked cylinders. If its oil, they have tipped it over to the carb side, and depending on how the valves stopped, it will determine where the oil will go . If it stops with the intake valve open, it can go into the carb , if it's the exhaust, it will go into the muffller .gas can do the same . This is on something like a lawnmower etc .
4strokes now ?? Well I guess it’s going to happen sooner or later ! Quiet YES Heavy YES Speedy NO Basically it’s a Briggs motor ! Was it your camera or did it have a bad vibration? If it’s not right for that boat then what boat is it good on ? A bigger and heavier boat = less speed I don’t know .
sure like this video and looking for the followup that to come., in am from good old Cedar City mysellf.. i had a new 15hp elec start model omc when i worked for Brinkmans in vallejo,cal. to me the best small out in this class was the last gen Merc two stroke, i have a merc 15 hp 4 stroke now.and a 2..5 hp 4stroke. also.
As usual you are the boss of them engines! You amaze me with your knowledge of these motors! But I would appreciate more videos of these fixes! Way to go Brandon!👏👏👏👏
The Chinesium push lawn mower engines / power washers are the same way. Always 2 pulls... or 1 if you're fast enough to push the choke in. They always seem to want one pull with choke, smoking hot or ice cold. (edit) I wonder if it has to do with the compression release.

Honestly the engine being full of oil probably saved a ton of corrosion.
The highest levels of skill, quality-commitment, and knowledge
There’s no way there will ever be a 50 y/o 4-stroke. Just too many moving parts and maintenance.

I have the same motor. Fuel pump always seems to be an issue. They are very hard to find these days
100 + lbs .. ! That's why I love my Suzi 15 2stroke... 68 lb. 👍👍

Bro, you have to check out the solder seal connectors. I'll never crimp again for the rest of my life. These are so easy to use and they seal well.
They should have switched to the four stroke and maybe they would still be in business!
Thanks for starting this series.Very educational.
Great vid!
I love my 4 stroke Yamaha kicker. Upper in the PNW four stroke Yamaha kickers are on nearly every fishing boat. With four stroke Mercs a close 2nd.
Short or long videos doesn't matter. I watch them all. Good work B.
It sounds real nice fuel pump issues aside. Nice find for sure. Someone will pay good money for that as a kicker or trolling motor.
Really enjoy your videos sir!! What’s the best way for a fellow Arizonan to get ahold of you for some future boat repairs. Thanks!!
