1937 Waterwitch Boat Motor, 60 years in a Shed. Will It Run? Part One
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- I picked up this 1937 sears waterwitch 2.5hp outboard motor up at a garage sale for $40. l was told it was a cleanout from an old timers shed. so lets see what a engine that is 83 years old is made of and can it be revived?
I would have broken half of the screws off, busted the water pump in two and put the whole thing in the junk pile within about 5 minutes... you sir are amazing!
5 minutes? Hold my beer
@@adambilge2834 LOL I would have gotten it apart... but never to be back together again. since I don't do boats, I wouldn't really care, but I would find a use for that cool gas tank. maybe on a Whizzer type bike or something.
Keith George and you are a wanker
About the size of it to eh ? Lol
@@tonywright8294 Baaaaaaaaaaa. Dude thats funny
I love the Mustie chuckle on a Sunday morning! Good to see Lilly... she looks happy
Yeah, it's been a little while since we've seen "The Boss".
I have been wondering about Lilly and was just about to ask.
When it comes to vintage outboard motors patience is a virtue , I pulled a 1936 Johnson model 300 off the bottom of a lake in the early 70's and after 2 years of working on it , it ran better than some of the new ones . You never know what you get until you put some effort into them .
That's great that you managed to get it running. The trick there is that most people wouldn't have the 2 years to put into working on the engine.
@@tbelding I was working as an OMC mechanic at the tine , even at that parts were very few and far between .
@@dalesakawsky7309 That makes having it run again even _more_ impressive. I can maintain/repair mechanicals, but I'm nowhere near that level of dedication and inspiration. (maybe perspiration).
@@tbelding Dedication is what you get when you become a true mechanic , I am restoring a 1927 Chevy truck now , it's all or nothing .
@@dalesakawsky7309 - I spend most of my dedication repairing newer (and more electrical) things. Right now, a customer is wanting me to install wireless controllable light switches for him. I'd rather have a 1950 4 door Ford.
Mustie, it is so good to see an 83 year-old outboard being brought back to life. Excellent job - can't wait to see part 2.
Sears sold, produced by the Kissel Company. The dual tanks were known as Mae West tanks
Why?
@@grahammcnally4799 Because they resemble a well-endowed lady's breastisiz.
@@grahammcnally4799 Because they made it in less than 10 parsecs.
This post is a Bust!
Hmm, now that I think about it, weren't some life jackets called Mae West life jackets? They look a bit similar to the two tanks when worn.
A recent Waterwitch sold at auction for $2,500. Very collectible. 1940, I have a vintage Greyhound from 1941 and the style is very similar, I bet it was designed by Raymond Loewy. There is one in The Met museum.
are you saying this outboard is from 1940?
@@crisprtalk6963 Yes
@@pr8944 Later in his career, but not with his earlier work.
We need more dilithium crystals!
It can't take much more of this sir; she's likely to blow!!
I love how everything back then was made to look like it could fly! Everything was built to last like they actually took pride in what they made/ built!
The style was called "Aero" and the 1930's was a golden age of rapidly advancing aircraft technology. Increased "stream lining" was reflected in the designs of car, locomotives, Air Stream campers. even diners. I guess they got less drag form that cover and tear drop shaped gas tanks. Lots of curved, tear drop shapes, bullet lines, etc.
my dad graduated from high school in 1937. it was a different time for sure. as a society we continually evolve into new challenges and attempt to solve them . three cheers for Liberty. three cheers for old outboard motors. thanks Mustie.
That's the most coolest outboard I have ever seen.
its tank is 100 horse sexy
I like engines that are designed very differently than you usually know. That makes it exciting and you learn a lot.

Dear craig s.
👍👌👏 Definitely! It really looks a like a futuristic spaceship. I simply love it when things are beautiful and functional additionally.
Best regards, luck and health.
Mustie1 have you seen the flying mylliard motorcycle? It has a two cyl engine from an airplane has anyone seen the video here on YT.
Cheers
I grew up with one of those pushing the boat. It never failed us. Love your video's, thanks. I still have the picture of the waterwitch on the boat.
I’m stunned at how this thing is coming apart. ASE Master Tech here. Very much enjoying watching your channel. Much respect to you friend.
Perfect viewing for a rainy afternoon in England
So... like everyday?
I fished with one until the mid 80's. My parents got it new as a wedding gift from my grandfather.
Interesting use for it? ( but I know what you really mean)
Nothing like fishing in the dark!
I love these vids. I mean, I'm not a stupid person, and I have some mechanical skills, but it just seems that I pull stuff apart and put it back together worse than it used to be more times than I succeed. Much respect Mustie1.
Mustie, another great 👍 video AND you saved the best for last. Seeing Lilly is always a treat, God Bless her.
Part 2 will be popping good.
This outboard looks like something the jetsons would own hehe
From movie. The rocketeer
I was just thinking the exact same thing. The Space design is so cool 😎
Whish I had the knowledge to have a utube channel, but don't have the time, I do small engine repairs, in London, two dogs small engine repairs, Tottenham
Martin Burgess will check you bud I fix big engines for busses lol 😂
You're right...it's awesome!
For a moment, I thought that I was going to be denied my favorite part of a Mustie1 resto-video: the near-maniacal laugh that accompanies the first successful start of a long dead engine! Thank you for those last few minutes!
Please never stop doing what you do! Your channel is so relaxing to watch and you have such an interesting way of presenting your process. Thank you for the great content and for all the awesome tips and tricks we pick up from you along the way!
It's so much fun figuring this stuff out with you. I agree, looking it up takes the fun out of it. Thanks for always taking us along.
When you removed that tank; the star trek nerd in me was saying we have saucer separation.
Pretty sure the saucer wasn't full of petrol though! 😁 Although Q could have arranged that!
And I thought “Astro” was going for a ride!
I can hear the star trek music already
Mike Fn Garage and I thought I heard “ meet George Jetson”
@@gettintheresafelywithpatf2869 exactly
I go to yard sales around me and all they have is used clothes and dented pots and pans. Mustie1 you must have pretty good neighbors that know what you looking for so they place it out there so you can keep us entertained....
i bet musti drives some times miles away for home town to find all kinda stuff
Or if they have something interesting, they want a fortune
josh moore went to a tag sale up the street from my house and was looking around and saw an old makita cordless drill. Asked about it and the lady said “oh you can have that.” So have it I did. Brought it home fixed a couple issues and it still works like the day it was made. Older than me and still working fine. Try doing that with a modern drill. (When I say old I mean produced in 1991.) so not always a fortune but a lot of the time that’s true.
you arent likely to find this stuff at yard sales from mom n pop down the road unless its in a boating town. this is stuff you find at swap meets usually. start with swap meets and look for groups on facebook or the net for your specific needs. then do searches on facebook marketplace or maybe craig's list. there is always ebay.
@@chukzombi Are you from the west coast? People from the east coast call them flea markets.
Here in the west we say sawpmeet.
Cheers
I really enjoy watching your videos. Reminds me of being a kid in my older friends house and we woul dmess with engines, old cars etc and "putter" in the garage. I want to get back to this and give up the modern press for the almighty buck, and start enjoying life again! Thanks for the videos, you are an insperation!
Sunday morning. The best morning of the week. A fresh brewed cup of coffee and the Sunday surprise from Mustie1. No better way to start your day. Thoroughly enjoy the "wrenching " and the knowledge behind it. A big thanks from Canada 🇨🇦 sir.
Middle timing position should be TDC. The engine runs in both direction for forward and reverse.
neet!
That's correct ,in fact those engines work always "full throttle" they run or slow relying in advancing or retarding ignition . This one once full retarded automatically reverses its spin. Nice an easy "reverse". And when iddling prop even moves water and thus the
boat.
@@josepelotudogomezcredulo6993 I have pulled wrenches for years, and never even thought this was possible. Its genius. The only thing I am curious about is knocking and pinging that this could cause. How do they eliminate the damage to the engine. A lower compression? And running an engine backwards? Same thing. I was taught it was bad for it. And here is an example of it being built to do that. No wonder that the engine is in museums! I want one now! How I feel right now, is the same way people felt when the first car rolled by. Goofy I know!
I was wondering when and who would get the answer first, most people don’t know two strokes will run either direction and when designed for it, are perfectly happy with that, ( as long as you have the ignition timing adjustment range )
@@dysklexia Big marine engines ,work that way too. Of course those are halted first an restarted backwards. The Messerschmitt KR 200 bubble car uses same way to go in reverse. Two strokers are easy ,but not 4 strokers. 4 strokers need a very complex system to change the valves timing.
I am amazed at how easily it came apart. Very cute little “Buck Rogers” piece!
Hi Darren. I save your video until last on Sunday morning. I get a second, or third cup of coffee, sit back, relax and enjoy your work like when I would get a Sunday paper at home. Yes, I'm THAT old...
Darren? Is that Mustie1's first name?
Yup.
@@groermaik I never knew. I figured "Rusty" would have been a little too on the nose, but I hadn't heard what his first name was.
I remember my grandfather servicing his Austin 7 spark plugs in the same manner and he had a old Oxo tin of electrodes and insulators and he could get a new arc arm welded on by the local blacksmith who did any work like chassis or other heavy metal sort of stuff on the ancient thing. When he let it go and just drove his amazing Triumph Vitesse, he bemoaned the fact you could only use premade non servicable plugs but did continue to annoy my grandma by stripping carbs down in the kitchen and once a year the head came off, out would come his piece of plate glass and he would lap the head face using grinding paste then decoke then using a handcut sheet of copper to make a new head gasket he would have it back together again and his Triumph ran like it was practically brand new despite it doing several 1600 mile caravan towing trips to Scotland and back a year.
What kind of spark plugs are those? Is there a name for them?
I have a '42 IH W6 tractor which my grandad bought new during the war, it has the same plugs in it.
Speaking of Austin 7s, my dad's mate ran one which poked a rod through the block when they were on holiday.
Dad stripped the sump and head off it, drew the piston out and bound insulating tape round the crankshaft with a couple of jubilee clips (to hold the oil pressure), plugged the block with a lump of wood bound in a rag, built it back up again and they got home (100 miles) no problem, albeit a bit off balance.
It was only a temporary repair but his mate ran it that way for nearly a year before it finally gave up the ghost😂😂
Ah yes the good old days. All the people we used to meet on the side of the road. Kids today.....
@@yuriismywaifu203
We called them ''Detachable'', ''sparkling'' plugs in the old days.
I have a box of new ones I bought in the 60's that are heat range ''FE-100'' LODGE [?] for my old non-unit Triumph 650 T-100 motorcycle of the late 50's.
For my 500 norton long stroke ''MANX'' [2 cams] from my Formula III, Cooper MK IX I installed in my 1949 Norton ''International'' street motorcycle.
The ''MANX'' being a racing bike used LODGE detachable spark plugs of a much colder heat range that had pink colured insulators. I still have a few new of them still.
I got all this before I went to Vietnam. When I finally got home, all I had were the spark plugs. I was MIA so Mom gave everything of mine away.
It's Sunday morning and time for the "Mustie Challenge!" He reaches into his stash behind the curtain and pulls out - yes, an old outboard that belonged to someone's great-grandfather. Can he get it running? Will it ever power a boat again? Stay tuned next time!
Same Mustie time, Same Mustie channel...
0600 Sunday morning and got my Mustie fix. I now have motivation to go tackle some shit in the garage today. Thank you sir for another really cool video.
When examining the water pump housing, “probably made of unobtainium”. Loved that!
Nothing better than hearing Mustie1 laugh!!! He truly is a genius when it comes to fixin' and wtenchin'! Sunday, and now Wednesday, dark roast and watching Mustie1 fix and laugh! Love from NW Colorado Thanxz
Art Deco design era when things from trains to toasters looked like rocket ships or airplanes. Your rowboat will really fly with that motor on it! Must be Rocketman's outboard motor.
So would the boat that motor goes on be considered a "Witchcraft"?
Sorry I had to ask. lol
Eremon1 good one!!!
Like it 😂👍
Nice one.
Then take er on Lake Erie....lol
only if you stay for a spell
I am learning as I watch you work on this old outboard.
That Motor was built in Hartford Wisconsin, about fifty miles from where I live! It was made by the Kissel Motor Car Company. They built the Kissel automobile from 1906 until 1931. My friend has a 1926 Kissel Brougham and he just bought one of these "Water Witch" outboards to show with his car.
Mustie cackling like a mad scientist at the end as his experiment comes to life! I love it.
10pm Sunday night in Melbourne, Australia. Love these videos
8pm herein the Philippines. No DST here...
Mustie's attitude about tackling something that he's never had apart before reminds me of an elderly man I was fortunate enough to work under nearly 50 years ago. "There are only TWO kinds of work in this world, m'boy. That, which I have done, and that, which I haven't...YET!" And then , into the project he'd go!
I learned much from him!
Who else thought it was not like him to go to bed without hearing it run? He was so close and really uncharacteristic to the channel pattern to walk away without a prize. This man's mind is like a swiss watch....just an amazing, methodical mindset.
Having lived in Michigan and being around the Great Lakes you see a lot of those engines. Many are display only and haven't run in many many many years, but they look cool as hell.
The Twin Tanks were filled from the filler cap and you opened the vent screw on the other tank. The unit was designed to seal the tanks so you could put the engine in the trunk of a car and not leak gasoline. The carb is the reed valve. If you put it on, it might run. Also, your drill is spinning the thing at pretty much at what it actually runs at.
Side note about your chuck less drill. Once you have it as tight as you can on the bit, turn the chuck slightly backwards till you hear one solid click and that’s how you lock it in place. I just found this out from a Milwaukee rep and it blew my mind! My bits haven’t slipped since. And thank you for Another Great video!
You CAN'T fool a Lab! I was going to comment and say I missed seeing the pup, glad I hung on until the very end!
i love these 30's 40's 50's 60's designs!
Back when you would replace the center of the plug/electrode.
Before planned obsolescence took over. Imagine trying to repair anything from nowadays even two decades old plastic crap. Good luck.
The even scarier part... think about what is coming in the future! It could be even worse!
That is the best looking outboard I've ever seen.
Coolest looking motor ever. My Dads buddy had one. He said it always started easy but it would not restart after it ran a while. Always had to drift back. He told me you always went upstream in the morning.
The lower unit looks like a 5 1/2 Neptune I have.
Yes!!!!! Sunday just got heaps better!!!
50 years ago, my father picked up a 1942 Evinrude outboard that had been brought to Australia by the US military. Apart from the motor and the internal drive shaft, the entire outboard was made of brass. It was a twin opposed engine rated as 7.5 HP but performed like a 15 HP plus outboard.
I had several antique outboards over the years and had one kind of like yours. mine was a 7 1/2 hp elto made by johnson or evinrude and it was a 1937. heavy as hell.
@@boathead22000 Gidday, that sounds like the same one, 7.5 HP and heavy. Ours was a WW2 build, for the US army.
For the Top Brass hats ;-)
They sure used to make some damn sexy motors back in the day. Always loved the old outboards.
I found one of these engines in a barn in Wisconsin. It was buried in cow kaka, except for the prop. $5.00 and the guy dug it out and it was mine. It was a fantastic summer project. I hand polished the aluminum. It was the most basic motor I have ever worked on. I was a certified aircraft mechanic at the time working on over engineered aircraft controls and engines. When I finished it did run but without much enthusiasm. I sold it for fifty bucks.
made by kissle.the flywheel is removed by loosening the screws a turn then back the nut out against the starter plate to pop the flywheel off.mags often required fettling out on the water with minimal tools on hand.16:1 fuel mix.I told you if you put the mixer back on it would start.
This has made me consider trying to find and resurrect an ancient boat motor my father in law gave me a long time ago...but then if I get it running I'm going to have to buy a boat and...
Do it.
A wise person once told me: "A boat is a hole in the water, surrounded by wood, that you throw all your money into..."
You acquire cool stuff. You make cool stuff run. I'm 72, but when I grow up I want to be just like you.
Amazing you could get it apart and yeeha you got it to run. Unbelievable. Patience, brains and experience work well for you. Fantastic. Can't wait for it to run with carb and water.
When you're testing the contacts anyway, it's an easy extra step to find top dead center and adjust the timing just thereabouts. like 2mm / 1/10ish inch before TDC for example (eastern german MZ Twostroke Motorcycles)
Well done mustie keep up the great videos,
awesome just to hear the old girl fire up and see the Mustie dance and hear the laugh,, cant wait for the next one thats a great looking little moter.
Just wanted to thank you for the videos you made on that 37 water witch I have one just like it that I am working on and I learned quite a few things by watching your video great job
That motor, the generator you got from the dump and your battery charger have the sort of style you'd find in a Fallout game. I like them!
I remember restoring stuff and using it with my dad sometimes it was worth it sometimes stuff was more rust than weld...so yeah best prices sometimes not the best...That being said restoring stuff to former glory is something we enjoyed together ...Dad is gone now, I am retiring and have enjoyed watching you craft stuff back to life... thank you for your show...
An 80 year-old outboard, Mustie chucling, a flame out the exhaust and all is right with the world on this rainy London morning. I am reminded I have a 1960s Seagull outboard in my workshop that need some love, and a full strip down.
I’m happy Lilly is still around. Missed her in the videos
The problem isn't taking something apart, it's getting the damn thing together and operating!
When you lifted the tank off i made the star trek sound !!
This a Classic can't wait to see you get this little bugger running!!! This is awesome you got her runnin Darren!!
1950. I was 8 years old and Great Grandad let me take the boat out on my own for the first time. The motor was a Water Witch and it was a hard starting bastard. I about wore myself out pulling and rewinding that rope. Skinner Lake, Indiana.
Happy Sunday, all!
I think that the screw at 4:20 is an air vent for the gas tank.
Yeah so it doesn’t build up pressure when the engine sucks up the fuel, basically stops a vacuum from happening
When screwed tight home it also stops the fuel running out of the tank when the outboard is laid on it's side when transported. There is a "correct" side to transport it on...so that water in the head and leg doesn't go into the cylinder.
thats gotta be one of the most beautiful kickers ive ever seen! Gorgeous lines!
Thank you Mustie. Amid this craziness, I can count on your quality time/knowledge/entertainment. Thanks.
Would love to see one of these fully restored and put onto a older wooden boat that has a nice wood stain on it and seeing it being used on a lovely lake.
There was a time when electric motors were sold by the pound. A ten horse power motor might weigh 200 pounds. These were massive and used leather belts to drive fans in heating systems. The one I saw was in a 1939 built school.
This manufacturer made very good engines, it makes them to last. It surprises me that it is over 83 years old, and still has its original capacitor ... No need to even adjust the ignition. Brutal!
That’s gotta be the most fun starts thus far!! What a cool sound! The smoke did have me a bit concerned!!🤣
I love that mad scientist laugh when he gets things running
1937.
2020.
83 years old.
"Someone's been in here before."
What a piece of art.. it looks like something out of the Jetsons.
That was a good one.. I love working on old small engines.... and hearing them run...
Just yesterday I picked up a 60s sears 3000 wat generator with a tecumseh engine I put the old drill on the flywheel nut to spin it over got it to fire up and run and when it did it ran faster than the drill and loosened the nut when I moved to the side to adjust the carburetor it flung the nut right at my head... Just missed me. But I'm sure it wasn't personal. Runs like new now and the generator part works too
Tecumseh engines are awesome
Got some " Maximum Overdrive " action going on there . You Know , the movie ? If you ain't seen it you need to . It's pld now but a decent watch. LOL
@@handsonwithblg4949 that movie was awful.
@@lrrowley pretty much, no matter how long they've been sitting just clean the carb and it will start right up
Twin fuel tanks with a cross flow arrangement via the separate feed lines and joining at the carby. Large cap is the fill cap for both tanks, when the cap is closed that tank is sealed so there is no vent for vapour/liquid to escape, or air to enter. Small cap also seals to make the system airtight, it was common to move the outboard in a horizontal position for transport, rather than hung of the transom as done these days, often with the fuel loaded and ready to run, so being able to get the fuel system fully sealed was important. Open the small cap half to one turn when mounted on the boat and the tank can vent and allow fuel to flow and be replaced by air.
We used to have single and two cylinder 2 stroke put put inboard motors for small boats here in Australia called Blaxlands. One characteristic of them was that once running, you could move the magneto around to change the timing and reverse the motor rotation to back up the boat, then move back toward the original position to travel forward. I am wondering if that may be the reason there is so much timing adjustment on the outboard, a start position near TDC , plus advance for forward and reverse either side. From memory, the little green stationary or marine under the bench did a similar thing and could impossible to start if the timing advance was in the opposite direction to the starting rotation. Would also explain why the rope start pulley clamps the flywheel but in place, preventing it from loosening if/when revering rotation. "Brass" conrod is probably actually bronze. The cam for the water pump is pinned onto the vertical drive shaft with a bronze pin near the top of the cam, if you need to take the final drive apart, the pin needs to be tapped out and the cam lobe should slide on the shaft and withraw with the drive housing.
Teach us, Professor. :-)
I agree with you on the timing adjustment to allow it to start in reverse (though I'm not sure how you'd do it, the starter ring is only lugged for forwards starting). My little 60s 1.5hp Johnson outboard just spins through 180 on the transom if you want to go backwards.
@@jncg2311 No, it has a start position with fairly little advance, and you start the motor in the forward direction at near idle speed. Once running, you can increase the throttle and advance for more forward power, or with the engine at a bare tick over, retard the timing to the point where the engine is effectively firing after TDC. This slows the engine and after a few revolutions, it effectively backfires and starts running in reverse, and you can advance the throttle and timing (in reverse running direction) for the backing up process. To restore to forward running, reduce throttle and timing to a bare tick over (reverse), adjust timing to the start position, and the engine will kick over in the forward direction, advance timing and throttle for forward travel. Virtually any reed valve 2 stroke can run either direction including diesels and hot bulb engines, unless something controlling the timing prevents it. eg spark timing in petrol engines, exhaust and injection cams in GM 2 stroke diesels. Rotating the entire drive in the motor mount was a later innovation that did away with needing to steer while manipulating throttle and timing, so the outboard was better suited to the non mechanically minded.
@@walterjwalnut9964 Brilliant explanation, thank you. I didn't believe you could achieve that with a spark ignition engine but can see from your description if it was going slow enough when you change over, you could do it. Will have to find footage of one working, of wait about here for Darren to finish the job!
I've seen the same on hot bulb engines and other slow 2 stroke diesels, not always when the operator wanted it either and of course reversing steam engines on the fly though the control mechanism is completely different there.
I have to say, I prefer this approach for a small outboard. Having 'lost' the handle of an outboard spun through 180 before and having to reach out over a spinning flywheel to try to get near the controls again I like the ideal of keeping it facing the right way!
Sometimes I miss the videos you did in the garage at the house, but I bet your wife is thrilled with the shop!
what a cool outboard! , looked sweet on the boat too ....Lilly had treats and view , good day :).
Nothing beats a Mustie1 "HA"!
2-stroke engine runs either direction, provided you can move the spark to the other side of top dead center. I would guess that's why the timing has such a large adjustment.
Such a joy to see you truly happy just to hear it run!
You've got to love how everything from the 30's had that space ship look.
That's such a beautiful old lady at the end. :)
Ends vid saying “I tried”... Then as I tap my fingers patiently waiting to see some closing scenic NH sights but....
NOPE, it’s back to the bench instead because you’re no quitter! That’s what we love about you!
It’s all about that infamous “MUHAHAHAHAHA!”
We totally knew you could do it, because you leave no rocks unturned when searching for the mechanical why’s and why nots! Very impressive brother, now lets see that thing push that free boat around on the lake!
Awesome job, thanks for taking us along!
✌🏼😉
I've given her all she's got captain, I canny give her any more.
Move over Scottie Mustie1 is here!!!
Best comment..#1
Exactly what I say when I'm trying to get up to speed in my 3.slow ranger.
I am not miracle worker Jim!
I'm a doctor damn it
Amazed that condenser (cap) is still good after all this time. And what a spark plug with a removable electrode. That motor is just cool. Buck Rogers motor.
Aww what a sweet old girl, haven't seen her in a video in a while, hope you and yours are good Mustie1, god bless.
That’s is an absolute work of art. I guess I’m just in the wrong place to find things like this.
I think Mustie just goes to a ton of yard sales. Like 8 or 9 in a day, some big swap meets too. You can find stuff like this on Craigslist and FB marketplace but the $40 deal is usually snatched up. A yard sale has people who don't know what they have, or how to fix it, and just want their space back.
Bob Adam I know he does a ton of sales. I’m in central Illinois near a man made lake. I see a lot of outboards floor sale but never see any of this vintage.
I do know someone that has one if these along with half a dozen other antique outboards sitting in his shed. Unfortunately he will do nothing with them but won’t sell either.
The Minneapolis Institute of arts actually has one of these on display!
Dana W nice!
For a second there I thought Mustie was going to start dancing.
Old tech. is so simple it's hard. Thanks again for another great video!
I e said it before and I will say it again. You have the coolest toys around sir. I love watching your adventures. 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Second "cap" is a breather so you can fill both tanks from the one side.
I was amazed that all the screws/bolts came adrift for you. 👍
When you start a project like this, would it not be worth spraying absolutely everything down with penetrating oil, rather than squirting it on "as required"? Would that not give the hardware more time to soak. I'm sure there's a sensible reason for showing restraint but, to my unskilled mind, it seems like common sense. 🤔
What a totally cool wee outboard. Maybe an unfair opinion, I thought Sears stuff was more of a "cheap & cheerful" brand. This seems to be pretty good quality, seriously lacking in the cheap, plastic components that make today's products so disposable.
We all knew it would fire up, but I still laughed with you when it did. 😂 Great stuff !! 👍👌
Excellent! Some really unusual new rusty with Mustie. Never seen a disassembling spark plug before. Another learning from watching Mustie1.
Mustie 1 thank you for all the knowledge that you have given me over the past few years as a truck driver I watch during my down time and you are great thanks again
Cool old motor. If I were a tool in Mustie's shop I would be in the misfits pile! =)
someone gave me a 2 1/2 hp Johnson Seahorse. I'm not a boat person I'm a engine person. I got it running then put it on a Scanoe (canoe with a flat back for a trolling motor) I got in the water and gave it a few pulls it was so heavy I took on water. The scanoe sank and flipped over with the engine propeller facing up like a periscope. Haha I had to start over :-(
Still waiting to see how it turns out lol.
I would be an outright reject.
