Thank you so very much for each and every one of your videos. I took a class in prison on small engines and thought I knew what I needed to know. As I watch your posts I realize that I don't know much at all. Thank you for the no bull approach.
Those old style OMC red capped condensers like the ones shown in this video will burn the points everytime (they were made differently inside back then than today). They need to be switched to the New Black topped OMC condensers to help from burning the points prematurely. When I test them with Stevens St75 meter the red capped OMC condensers never pass the break down/leakage test which simulates high rpm's I always replace the red capped condensers to be safe. Hope that helps someone watching these videos. Great Videos love watching them.
Thank you Mike!! Your help got us on the Ohio river yesterday for a nice evening cruise. Great content and looking forward to checking out more of your videos.
Good afternoon Mike! Love your videos and vintage outboards. I called you earlier today and you were so helpful in troubleshooting my motor. Thank you very much for your time and help. My son and I will get many more good fishing days thanks to you! God bless from Arkansas!
This is perfect, got my first little boat, mechanic says the little 6hp that came with it ain’t worth paying him to get it running. You may have just saved our little Father’s Day first time out on the boat trip in a couple weekends!
Thanks for your video my friend and me where trouble shooting a Johnson outboard, running rough and had to be on full power all the time to get it to go, I thought carb but now it think points. Thanks very much, take care.
Thank you Mike! New subscriber here, I currently have a 1977 25hp Johnson , 1977 25hp Evinrude and a 1967 9.5 Evinrude Sport that I'm troubleshooting while watching your vids... Thank you! Mike
I dont know A whole lot about engines this is very well done thank you for going slow and explaining everything this really helps a lot I dad recently passed away and i inherited a vintage Johnson outboard I’d really like to get it going and repaint it
Just got a 62 Johnson Seahorse 5.5 and it started with two shots of starting fluid and 5 pulls I was extremely surprised. Motor hasn’t been started in 18-20 years
Enjoyed this video. I have a 1990 Johnson 6hp, very similar. I bought it new in 1991, and it still runs great, hoping your channel can help me keep it going. I would add "air" to your three things, to make it four things needed to make an outboard go. Love your careful step by step approach. Great job.
Great Video Mike. Incase someone in the past comments hasn’t mentioned it. Might be a good idea to remind viewers to ground the plug wires during the Compression check.
AWESOME! I learned a Ton, in plain English, not all that fancy technical jargon...Appreciate it man! Them handz though....😯...close to that flywheel....but you aint worried about contact because you probably got those good ole mechanic hands of steel! 😄✊
T-Mike great videos and wicked helpful. I have a 6hp Evinrude looks identical to the one in this video. Both cylinders have spark and are reading about 30 psi. Do you have a video on how to increase compression or know how to fix this issue? Not sure how difficult it is
Great video, it would be even better for people like me who know very little about this subject if you had links to your other videos on the parts you skip so I could watch it and then come back and continue the main video
Good morning. Just started watching this video- i just received this motor from a Lady that lives behind me that lost her husband last year and i was helping them out with there lawn and driveway in the winter. Would have liked to seen how the flywheel comes off though? I have ben watching a lot of videos and seen a bunch of yours- thank you for them! I am waiting on parts that deliver today or tomorrow. I am putting this motor if i get it running on a 1956 Wolverine! Just hoping to get it going and get out on the water Thank you for the video’s! Have a good day
Hey, good at motors, how about the ladies? Make that Cajun women. I think I’ve seen a dog running around your shop but never any ladies. We would like to see the actual shop manager, always good to know the boss. Nice methodical approach to getting an unknown motor up and running by the way. Always like your how to stuff.
Hi Mike I have a 1955 mercury mark6 comet twin it needs new coils would you know of any replacements. Mercury coils are to expensive and not worth using
Thank you and thank you for not making fun of me even though I'm laughing at myself right now. I'm working on a 1952 Martin outboard motor 7.5 HP I'm missing the twist throttle and having problems locating one. I have compression but I'm definitely going to need new points your video helped out with that if you have any suggestions on places I could check for Martin specific motors could you let me know I appreciate you
Excellent. :) I also run it without water (for a very short moment) as I don't want the mess in my shop. Tip: Find a matching socket and use a battery drill to turn the engine. It saves a lot of work.
Running it without water, even for a very short time, will damage the water pump impeller. I'm certain that T-Mike was planning to replace the impeller on this one anyway, so it didn't matter if he ran it dry for a few seconds.
@@dttprice Yes, I know. Normally I do NOT run without water. I had no option to do so then, so a quick spray with WD 40 did the trick. I pulled the leg and looked at the impeller shortly after. It's as good as new and gets to run another season. :) Btw...starter fluid can be used briefly but only then. It's a 2 stroke and it needs lubrication from the oil in the mix. Excessive use of starter fluid will break down the oil film on the cylinder wall and could cause a stuck piston. It's about the same "balancing act" of how long is a "short moment". ;)
Hey Mike. Just got a 57 18hp fasttwin. Bin sitting for 30 years... do you have a video on getting this to start and run? Compression, spark, and fuel!!!!
Mike, since there is no carb kit available 9.5 Evinrude, I'm afraid to take the carb apart. Can I soak the entire carb in 'cleaner' for a day or two? with some positive results..
Hey T-Mike! A Morgan City boy here now living in central Texas. Just found your channel and love it! Would you happen to have a carb for a 67 (I think) 9.9 SeaKing?
Great video I came onto your video looking on how to troubleshoot my engine. I have a 1960-1975 4hp 2 stroke mercury does this apply to this engine as well mine won't start now had it running a couple of times. I rebuilt the fuel pump new diaphragm new check valves and gaskets she ran good after that. she ran for a minute why I was on the lake then died and didn't fire after that so any advice will help thanks...
Great video, (1)How do I know if the spark plug wire is going to the right spark plug and they're not switched I'm trying to get a 10 hp johnson going (2) How many lbs compression is good for a 1969 -10 hp johnson motor
Hi. I have a 1979 Johnson two stroke 6HP Model Number:6BAL79E, has a long shaft. What do I need to remove the spacer to turn it to short shaft. Can you give me some advise and do you sell the needed parts? Thank you
I have a 1964 9.8 HP Mercury and want to know if I can change the electrical system to more modern setup? also do you think I can use it as ever day runner?
T Mike I have a 1968 6hp outboard. I rebuilt the carb and got the motor to run. But my issue is I can't get it to idle down . I set the needle at 1.5 turns out from a lite seat. What am I missing
Hi all, I have Johnson 5.5 cd-14 only starts when throttle is full, then it just idles. It dies if you back off the throttle. I have gone through the electric(coil,point...etc)system according T-mikes videos. I also have cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor also following T-mikes video. I am at a loss what to test/adjust/update next. any thoughts? FYI - T-mikes video's are GREAT!
Mike, I have a Mercury 15 2 stroke mariner, cleaned carburetor, checked compression ok, reeds ok, replaced and checked fuel line. The engine runs only with active primer then if I take it off it dies and goes out. Can you suggest me what to do? Greetings from Michele from Italy.Thank you
Love your channel T mike. I want to ask for your expert advice. I have a 2.5 hp Johnson HD 25. J got it running after learning some tricks from you. I changed out new gaskets, cleaned the carburetor. However, it has problem with poor idling and surging. Any advice for possible cause? Thanks a lot,
great video - My motor lost spark and stopped running - followed your tips.. Turns out I had a bad coils and powerpack. I upgraded both and the motor is running again. Thanks so much. I've got a 1978 9.9 Model 10E78M - I'd like to upgrade to a 15 HP carb. How do I go about choosing the correct 15HP Carb as I'm unable to order from a retailer anymore due to the product being obsolete? and along with the Carb are there any other parts that need replacing/upgrading to complete the conversion to 15HP?
There are 4 total wires headed toward the stator, you only tested 2 What do the other 2 wires do? I have a 88 Johnson 15 no spark on either plug. If I followed you right I need the ignition module on the rh side
Good videos. I have a 1940 Handitwin that moves freely, but it hasn't been used since before I was born in 73. I need to check for spark...here's my question...would it be ok to pour a little 2 stroke oil in the cylinders before turning over the motor just for safety's sake? I realize compression has to be tested on a dry cylinder...so I'll do that first. Am I risking cylinder damage testing on a motor that hasn't run in a while? Thanks
That creep engine = like ours. dang!! My buddy yanked his shoulder socket out of place = much swearing. Anyways, we try what you did and hope so dont need to buy points ($60 each) or coil/condenser. Hope so simple cleaning, Thank you
I come across the 15th horsepower evinrude motor and when I open the top of it it looked like some of the wiring has been mess with. I'm not sure how it goes is there's any way I can send you a picture through a email or something and you send me, somehow a wiring diagram . I really enjoyed this video and I'm been looking for somebody who knows what they're doing with boat motor and you are the man. vintage Evinrude boat motor would like to send a picture of that so I can get these motors going. Thank you

Dealing with a Japanese Mariner 20hp 2 stroke, which I believe is a 1976 tohatsu outboard 653, is the beginning number on the plate. I have no spark, and this is a pull start. Any help anyone can offer here would be greatly appreciated!!
@michaeljsimon Hey! Thanks for the reply! It does have a stator as well. Will it need both the CDI and stator? It did not have one on it when it came into possession. I have tried looking for wiring diagrams, unfortunately, with no luck, hahaha! Do you have any videos that would be similar to that?
@michaeljsimon No problem, sir! Thank you for your replies! It is certainly proving to find it difficult to find people who work on them or good information on them. Have a wonderful day!
Hey T. I was wondering about the no water. Glad you mentioned it! Can you reply with the compression tester you use? So many reviews on testers that give inconsistent readings. I need one a good one! Thank you!
I have great compression, spark and fuel. All I get is a single POW fire every 20 times I pull the rope. I've been through everything except under the flywheel. Any suggestions?
I have a very old 1948-1949 Hiawatha 3hp outboard that I recently tinkered with until I finally got it to start up and run. However, it will run for about 30 seconds plus or minus and then cut off. Sounds to me like a fuel problem, but what are your thoughts? Any suggestions?
Great informative video thank you. I have a 68 Johnson 6 up that runs and idols great but at full throttle bogs down, I rebuilt the carb I’m kind of stuck, any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated
Hi… How come you start and run them without being hooked up to water? I’ve had my fill of American 2 stroke vintage outboards… I now only buy Japanese 2 or 4 strikes. I’ve restored numerous Honda “B” and “BK” 4 strokes…..bulletproof. Good job.
Good afternoon Mr. T Mike. I have an interesting one but I need to send you a picture do you have a different link? Would appreciate it so much. Mike ,Bend Oregon
I have the same engine, I can get it running without starting fluid but then it dies so I know it’s a fuel issue. I just bought the engine and I’m not familiar with 2 stroke outboard. Any ideas?
thanks for the video, I suspected the pulse pump,,,put a new one,,,,new fuel inlet and outlet hoses, 2 crankshaft seals...everything hoses hard,,,works for 3 sec....turns off...again manually I pump it up...hard...runs for 3 seconds...carburetor repaired. ,,intake...etc...ultrasound of the bowl...if it works...I remove the supply hose to the carburetor...no fuel...no pulse.........the answe
Even turning the engine over, for just a little bit, will ruin your water pump, never turn it over or attempt to Crank it up without water hooked to it.... It will ruin it
This video was just what I needed to get my 1984 evinrude 9.9 hp running...

What brand spark tester is that?
I have a very old 1948-1949 Hiawatha 3hp outboard that I recently tinkered with until I finally got it to start up and run. However, it will run for about 30 seconds plus or minus and then cut off. Sounds to me like a fuel problem, but what are your thoughts? Any suggestions?
Fuel pump
@@michaeljsimon Is that something I can easily clean? Where is it located? All I see is a big carburetor, but where is the fuel pump?
Great informative video thank you. I have a 68 Johnson 6 up that runs and idols great but at full throttle bogs down, I rebuilt the carb I’m kind of stuck, any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated

@@michaeljsimon hi be fan, I'm having trouble removing the lower unit in this same motor, there is no nut to unscrew the shift link . Is one solid rod
Hi… How come you start and run them without being hooked up to water?
I’ve had my fill of American 2 stroke vintage outboards… I now only buy Japanese 2 or 4 strikes. I’ve restored numerous Honda “B” and “BK” 4 strokes…..bulletproof. Good job.
Vintage OMC outboards are some of the smoothest running and most reliable outboards in history.

You’ve obviously never had or worked on a Japanese outboard…
@@kurtlyons136 you never did say why you run them without coolant?
T-Mike Cher, I like your videos yeah
Great video 📹 👍 👏 👌 🙌 😀
Someone is selling me and old 91/2 Johnson motor for $100 has been sitting for 2 years should I take the risk ??
Yes. They are great motors. I have several videos and all the parts on that motor.
@@michaeljsimon Ok I’ll be sure to watch those videos. I’ll be picking it up this week if everything goes well .

Thanks for your videos
Very good tutorial. Thank you
Great video dear friend..
I have the same engine, I can get it running without starting fluid but then it dies so I know it’s a fuel issue. I just bought the engine and I’m not familiar with 2 stroke outboard. Any ideas?
Can you keep it running by choking it?

No it runs for a couple seconds and then dies.
thanks for the video, I suspected the pulse pump,,,put a new one,,,,new fuel inlet and outlet hoses, 2 crankshaft seals...everything hoses hard,,,works for 3 sec....turns off...again manually I pump it up...hard...runs for 3 seconds...carburetor repaired. ,,intake...etc...ultrasound of the bowl...if it works...I remove the supply hose to the carburetor...no fuel...no pulse.........the answe
Great video Thankyou
Very helpful video sir
That’s awesome info Mike !! Thank You
What about the wiring other 35 evenrude that won't start
What about switching to electronic ignition?
Thank's lot's to learn.
I'm a newbie and thought running an outboard out of water even for a short time ruins the impeller. Judges?
Even turning the engine over, for just a little bit, will ruin your water pump, never turn it over or attempt to Crank it up without water hooked to it.... It will ruin it
three things HAHA I LOVED IT Keep up the advice Sir
THANK YOU
starting fluid gets fuel system rolling in the spring
I appreciate you! Thanks
On my Fisherman 6, the handle moves from the start position each time as I pull the handle. What is the problem?
Remove handle grip and check friction spring.
