And I owe you my life when you told me in your last video about learning compressor at the water tube for five minutes that’s what made my pea stream work You are the best thank you so much
I just purchased a 1971 9.5 evinrude just like this one. And also live in the Kansas City area. Thanks for the videos it’s really helping me do things the proper way to get it running smoothly.
Thank you for posting. I inherited an old Evinrude motor with the purchase of a cottage. I have no idea of its condition. This video will be a great help.
Thanks for sharing. Magnetic parts trays at harbor freight come in handy . Old metal cake pan with some magnets on the bottom will contain your parts yet give you room to work on your carbs. Cheep fold up table will make it a little easier on your body and not take up space from your garage, just a thought.
Great advice. I actually do have some of those cheap/free with purchase magnetic trays, and I always end up forgetting them stuck somewhere haha. The metal pan with magnets is a great idea though, I'm definitely going to consider that (or maybe a muffin tin). Thanks again for the comment!
Great job! I love that little motor. I've had one for over 20 years. They're almost indestructible. On a side note, the low compression is normal for that motor. Thanks for sharing.
You absolute legend! Thank you so much for sharing this very educational video. To me personally it's a massive help. I've just scored a lovely Evinrude sportwin 9.5hp in lovely condition for 50 Years old. She's been stored away on a canal boat for 16 Year's. Now thanks to you I can change the impeller. Fit new coils and service the carburettor etc. I'm made up. Truth is i really didn't have a clue before finding your video's Part 1 & Part 2.....Full respect from across the pond.
Thank You, After Work Garage Dude! Found the 1967 model of this engine in my mother's boathouse. Looks to be in great shape since has been stored indoors since last used on our early '60's JonBoat (also still in great shape). Have no idea when this champ was last run.... maybe 10-12 yrs ago. Have the original owner's manual and going to give it a go to get cranked and operational again.
Great video.. Just bought a little tinny with one of these motors and it also has the same starting problem. So now i know what to look for and do.. Thank you for posting this.
This were good vids on the motor. Nice job. Just so you know the 9.5's were lower compression engines. Yours is normal good compression for the 9.5. I had one that was 60 on both cylinders and ran great. I thought it was low too until I was schooled by pro.
I recently got an old Merc25 that's really pretty but in terrible shape - I'm trying to get a video together on it, but for now I did a teardown and need to decide if it's a parts motor or one that I"m going to put the time and money into restoring. I wish I had your expertise with old motors!
Good suggestion. I believe you can also use compressed air. I just didn't have either on hand at the time, and you know how jobs to sometimes. Just go with what you've got if its good enough.
The little metal clip goes over the needle valve and over the top of the float jst FYI as the float lifts the clip pulls the top of the needle valve up great video tho have you got a synchronization video up yet ???
Thank you for the note on the clip. Regarding the synchronization, I have not made one yet. In part because I didn't really know what I was doing, and ended up turning things by trial and error, and partly because the markings that indicate where it should be set to are completely worn away on my motor as if they were never there, so I can't show which markings the repair manual references - hence why I had to use the trial and error method. Apologies for this, and if I see another one of these motors that has those markings, or find a good way to show it, I'll do a video, but until then I don't have a good way to show it.
Them little metal caps you had a hard time getting out as I did! Mine looks different then yours! In the big hole mine has a plastic little cap /bowl/ cylinder shape thing pressed inside that area?
Interesting. I wish I could tell you, but I'd guess its just a plastic version of the metal caps that may have either been stock at one time, or come with a replacement kit/carb. I'm sure someone knows, but I can only offer my best guess. Good luck with your motor!
I did actually check compression warm (not hot, I don't like taking spark plugs out of a motor hot), and if I remember correctly the compression was higher, consistent between cylinders, but still not up to the types of numbers we're used to with modern motors. Other commenters and some research suggests that low compression is normal for this motor, and as long as it's running well, I can't disagree.
Yes, thank you for the reminder on the sync video. I will have to get one out soon. I let this video go by the wayside, because when I went to film it, the indicator marks were worn away on my motor, and the adjustments were difficult to see. I will re-mark the indexes, and definitely get an engine synchronization video out for this motor in the near future. Thanks again for the comment!
What an awesome video! I am working on the same motor and i cannot get my tiller to twist to the start position, we can follow until it get under the fly wheel and disappears, do you have any ideas what could be stopping it from twisting?
Do it! You won't regret it. I've just bought an Evinrude Sport Twin 9 1/2. It's mechanical the same engine. It will run forever if you take good care of it (change the oil in the lower gear assembly). :)

Hey I was watching your video on the 9.5 Evinrude twin sport flat top bored motor I have exactly the same engine I’m in Maine and I’m trying to get mine operating. It runs really well the problem is that when it’s in gear and I accelerate it the prop is either spinning or is there a clutch internally in the engine somewhere? I took the prop off And repaired this year pin but it still does the same thing it seems to be spinning and not going anywhere at least at a higher RPMs where is my problem do you think some people say it could be in the prop area or someone said that engine has a clutch in it that could be slipping please let me know what you think I love to get it going again it runs great
I do not believe this engine has any type of clutch in it. I would suggest you look at your propeller. There is a brass insert (or some kind of insert) in the propeller with a notch in it to engage the shear pin that goes through the prop shaft. This insert could be spinning within the propeller at higher loads. In addition, take a look at the notch for the pin, if it looks really beat up, the pin could also be slipping out of a worn out notch. My guess however would be the former, that a new prop would likely solve your issues. When you figure it out, let us know!
2-stroke motors (especially older ones) often do drip black burned looking oil out the exhaust, even more if the gas/oil mixture is rich or there is poor combustion. It's possible that this oil can build up in places and seem to dribble out all at once when the motor is moved or tilted. If you seem to be leaking lots of oil, then make sure it's not an oil injected 2-stroke (the newer ones) which can malfunction or leak out of the oiling system. If it's a 4 stroke, then oil should not be leaking out of the exhaust, and you likely have a bad lower crankshaft seal (though other things can cause this). Sorry I can't be more specific without knowing more about your exact motor.
Unfortunately I didn't end up making one. My motor is missing the markings that would make this procedure useful, so I just did it by trial and error. I will try to get something out on this in the future though.
the hesitation when you first started it is because you left the choke on too long,, once it starts, push the choke back in.. if it starts bogging, pull it back out 1.2 way.. if it doesnt bog, leave the choke off and start revving it slowly to warm it up..
I have been meaning to make another video on this and I'm sorry I just haven't gotten to it. I turned it in a little ways the the best I could figure, but given how the motor was running, I didn't give it quite enough to start out with, and ended up increasing it later. I hope you got it figured out with some trial and error!
@@MrCyoung21 Excellent to hear and thanks for the tip on testing it under load. I agree with you that though it's not the most satisfying answer, trying it and dialing it in is probably the best way to do it, even if you have reference marks as a starting point.
The thermostat is going to be located on the engine block itself. I can't remember off the top of my head where it is, but I'll have to take another look at get back to you.
If you haven't found it already there is an absolutely awesome site devoted to information on these motors. I wish I had done my homework and looked at this site before getting into this motor! The site link is listed below: www.leeroysramblings.com/OMC_9.5.htm

Great video!!! We are resealing a 1967 Evinrude here in IN this weekend!!
Thank you! I hope all went well
Enjoyed the video I'm going to have to tear into one myself 😂
Awesome, it's a great little motor. I hope everything is going well with it!
Put it in forward gear, and give it full throttle. That reveals the screw enough to take it out WITHOUT pulling the flywheel. ;)

You know you can get a can of air at Wal-Mart ( it cleans dust out of electronics ) . And it will help to get the carb clean and dry .

24:1 fuel ratio ? am i getting this right ? oh and love this channel ! great info ! but yah 24:1 fuel ratio on a 1968 evinrude 9.5hp
I think you're right, this motor apparently requires quite a bit of oil. Thank you for the info and the kind words!
50:1 is what is recommended but 24:1 will work just fine too a little extra oil never hurt
What an awesome video! I am working on the same motor and i cannot get my tiller to twist to the start position, we can follow until it get under the fly wheel and disappears, do you have any ideas what could be stopping it from twisting?
I might buy a Johnson 9.5 short shaft for $50 . My first ever outboard motor wish me luck lol It’s been sitting in a garage for 7 years .

Is it normal for oil to leak out of the exhaust pipe?

I suppose you've worked out by now that having the spark plugs removed would make a easier job of setting the point

I'm rebuilding the same motor. Regarding the idle valve adjustment pin... how much more did you have to end up turning it?
I have been meaning to make another video on this and I'm sorry I just haven't gotten to it.
