Your vids are definitely not boring - we learn a lot from watching, and I for one am very grateful for people like you who instruct on things like mechanics.
There will always be haters because they have no life and their life consists of hating on anybody and everybody so don't ever let those low lifes get to you i sincerely enjoy your videos and all of the boating content so keep it coming brother 👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪
Incredible find.This outboard was one of my favorites.To think going through a beak in period for the fist time after 34 years.Since you have done to maintenance on it it is better than new.
I have an old late 60's or early -70's model 6 Fisherman. My dad used it 2 weeks out of the yr on annual fishing trip. It's been sitting in garage for probably 35 yrs. I need to go through it and get it going again. Glad I stumbled onto your channel. Thanks!
When it comes to fixing outboard motors you are THE MAN lol I’ve learned so much just watching your videos I am about to acquire another 2 motors 69 and 75 models and can’t wait to get working on those and get them running like new again keep up the good work
Honestly, this was probably one of the best videos on screwtube, very informative and clearly spoken. Thank you for taking time to film and post this video, liked, and subscribed.
your videos are great. Your knowledge of Evinrude and Johnsons are unmatched on youtube. these sure help me gain the know how and confidence to work on my '86 Johnson GT200. Keep up the good work, these old 2-strokes are counting on you
Awesome video! I actually just restored/complete tear down of a family member's 1985 Evinrude 4HP twin cyl outboard. It started with needing a new water pump, after sitting for over 10 years. That engine has no tell-tale pee-hole. It discharges the return water out with the exhaust - which means there was and is, no real way to tell if it's pumping and circulating through the entire block. Mine wasn't... After stripping the block, removing all covers and even the head, I found a clogged cooling hole/passage and cleared the blockage. Probably 20+ hours of labor into it, lol. It also has the 100:1 oil sticker on it!! I had no idea they did a recall on this, and that it should have been 50:1!!! I scratched my head on this and had already told my family member to run 50:1, even without knowing this. I told her to just keep a few spare plugs on hand. Of course, she didn't... I would love to share the photos and videos I took, if you want to see them.
running out the fuel is always to be done, you are right, I do that with all single or multiple cyl small engines, chainsaws, lawn mowers, and I don't have to fix fuel foul ups either.
Oil/Fuel lubricates the motor until it dies. If it dies no damage can be done from running without fuel/oil. Also pull the choke when it begins to stall and burn that last bit of fuel.
Wowza! That is a rare find! I'm glad it ended up in the right hands. Most would have just throw that on a boat and destroyed it. I almost wanted to see you take it a part and see what it looks inside with zero hours, but then again there would be nothing to see.
your videos was really good as an ex marine mechanic i liked fixing the evinrudes as i knew thiswas a really good videos mate as i love fixing my outboards as i hated the shops who stuff it up on the outboards as im ready to learn how to fix an outboard motors myself these days as i knew what to fix on em outboards these was the Evinrudes as i knew all the motors well as an ex outboard mechanic as i worked in a shop dealing with the outboards i knew abouit these was the only outboards id ever fix these was the Evinrudes as i knew these motor as well these was the only brand id ever fix bar none got with Evinrude the best in outboards id say
Hi I really enjoyed your video on the "new" motor! I live in South Africa and it is so wonderful to experience what it must be like to have access to parts. Thank you kind regards Pierre du Plessis.
Nice tank Brandon!!! I can’t tell you how many times a bad ground connections have caused havoc in my life, So now it’s the first thing I look at. Also very nice buy my friend.
anyone who thinks your video#s are boring is a fool. these video's are very good, filmed good and nice clear narration... and things are told in a way that everyone can understand (unless your from outer Mongolia and dont speak English, then thats your fault ).. keep these vids coming
during the quarantine, if it was water worthy, or was supposed to be, it would sell in hours for much more than it should have; it was a nice time indeed. we're you already doing that kind of work, or just something that you got into?
@@BrandonsGarage I grew up in a junk yard so mostly fixing anything for cash when I was younger I bought a 72 6hp evinrude and got it running and I started buying everything in the neighborhood a year before the pandemic all omc 4hp - 35hp I have about 15 motors left I sold and restored about 15
No boredom on my part. I’m very happy to watch your outboard videos. Ask your self if you had an outboard that needed some quality work preformed would you choose this guy or Jimmy Bob. My choice is this guy. My father taught me about always running the gas out of any outboard and I too tell those with 100/1 stickers to run TCWC 3 always at 50/1.
Thank you Sir for all the good info. I appreciate it. One thing I would have done, which you may have, I would have changed all the fuel lines. I rebuilt my carbs on a 85 model 88 Special, I did not replace the fuel hoses and therefore had to pull the carbs back off and clean them and found bits of rubber hose, then I replace all fuel hoses and all was well. The new gas formulas are diff now a days. Same as you, I run the motors out of fuel each time before storing. All is well when you need it. Thanks again Sir, great video on an old relic. I am sure she will do just fine.
Wow...your new shop is amazing. Remember, your old shop is waiting for you as long as you don't mind workin with us hillbillies. Oh yeah, the parking issues are no more my friend.
There are so many negative people in the world who are envious, do not let them ruin your videos, it is so easy to criticize. continue the good work you just got a new subscriber. sorry my bad english, i only had english 2 years in school.
I heard from an Johnson/Evinrude dealer that the 100:1 was OK to run but the problem came about when the outboards sat for a long period of time - the cylinders would rust due to the lean mix so they went back to 50:1.
I've got a 1977 Johnson v4 140hp brand new never fired", got it from my dad ohh I say 14 years ago he was a Machinist at a omc Johnson plant back in the 70",and 80's he had quite the collection
OMG! That thing is horribly dusty! You got ripped off! It's trashed. That thing'll never run!!! Lol... Glad it found a good home. It's a keeper. Not many like that one left. I just love stories like this where a nice "old" machine is rescued from the dump -or a buyer who tries to run it with no service.
Great stuff! Recently found your channel and have been bingeing away learning about Evinrude/Johnsons as I just picked up a 1984 50Hp 2 Cylnder and I know nothing about OMC's (I'm a vintage mercury guy). Keep up the great work! Looking for a video on timing these engines - have you done one?
Nice video as always. I also enjoy your other channel, Nate the Hoof Guy. Lol. To my ear, your voices sound very similar. I agree with running the gas out. Thanks!
I look forward to the break in video. Wondering what fuel/oil ratio you ran it on in this first start ever video? I have never had a new outboard so not sure about that stuff. 1987, eh? Interesting as well. I have a 1984 15hp, and found that it runs and especially idles a LOT better once I discovered it was supposed to run 100:1 and am running it at that. Apparently the idle mixture adjustment has been deleted on this year, is there something else I can do to let it idle better if I go to 50:1? Thanks.
I've had little outboards like that when I was a kid. I have a big boat now with a huge outboard on it. I still miss these small engines and a small boat. I think about buying another small boat with a small engine like this.
"This guy sucks" lmao!! love your channel Brandon! You have helped me As LOT with my 88' 9.9 JonnyRude! BRP discontinued their gasket sealing compound? I believe Permatex aviation gasket compound is the replacement for it?
Thanks for sharing your inside informations! I recently re-activated a Volvo-Penta 140 (about 12hp) outboard motor, which my father bought somewhen in the 70s or early 80s. Very similar technology. After almost 25 years of storage we replaced both water-pumps (engine coolant pump and boat drain pump) and the sucction-driven fuel-pump membrane. And now its running again - generating the same fun to my children as it did one generation ago in my childhood to our family. I am curious , if todays technology will still be usable in 35 years - thinking about electronic spare parts availability ...
Hi I've got an exactly the same outboard 1987 6hp. Could you possibly do a video of the carb setting and throttle link position for timming and the like. My outboard tends to shake a bit on tick over but is ok at higher revs. Would be really helpful for people with the same outboard especially with the black plastic carburetor top. Love your videos and very informative
Appreciate your videos..amazing what you share..helps me if I have to put mine in the shop gives me a working knowledge so I hopefully won't get taking advantage of. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and how too👍
I have a very old can of gasket sealing compound. I'd like to see what the new stuff looks like in the can to see if I need to replace it. As far as I can tell my old stuff is fine.
I have the 5hp version of this, it's in almost new condition like yours. What a mission I had getting the gearbox off , stuck on shaft big time. My one needed a new waterpump and housing, driveshaft needed a good clean and grease and I also put a new thermostat in it. Really pleased with mine. Anyone know the difference between the 5hp and the higher horse power ones. Power head looks identical.
Great video thank you learned a lot I’m replacing the impeller on mine 4 hp Johnson and the shaft is stuck in the motor itself so impossible to replace the impeller any idea how to get the shaft out don’t want to break anything the motor run beautifully,thank you
Could you please do a video on a 93-2006 9.9 or 15hp johnson evinrude big bore motor tear down rebuild, UA-cam that I know of doesn't have one, love your videos have learned a lot from them, thanks martin
Maybe do a compression test as a matter of record? Trolls are garbage, forget them. I have learnt so much from watching your videos - down to earth, no annoying music and a homely garage. Would it be OK to use Permatex 81343 anti-seize lubricant on all the bolts?
It's odd that the most active "Haters" have No Content. The good news is negative comments still count as engagement :-) Thanks for the informative content!
Hi, so for the thermostat, which one do you need because I have the same engine and it turns out that there is only one spring, have you solved the problem? If so, I would like information on this famous thermostat. I am in France . THANKS .
I have a 6hp 85’ Johnson and I think it has a timing issue. Would you be able to post a video of testing the ignition system and adjusting the timing on this style motor?
Worked in Enginerring 30 years, on some models of 6/8 hp, the draftsman missed cam (black plastic) by .100 , adjusted for Wide open throttle , by needed more spark, I know , I fixed. Timing had to be reset, by taking off stop.
Many years ago, I joined the AOMC, and after a few meets found a brand new 1954 Mercury 40 hp. The guy had it in its original box and was not quite ready to part with it. Called him twice a year just to keep my foot in the door, but after 10 years I gave up. He claimed he wanted to sell it and get some vacation money, but I think he was just a hoarder.
I probably added 1000 views to your lower unit rebuild videos as I worked on my 1989 15hp johnson this weekend. Question- have you ever seen the 5" extension housing become nearly impossible to remove? I am able to detach lower unit but the extension house simply will not drop. I have removed the 6 attachment bolts (both sets) but the water grommet and drive shaft tubing are still passing from extension through to upper section and won't let go! Please help! Thanks
Nice gem of an outboard you have ! Finding a motor in that condition is rare ! Display it , don’t tuck her in a dark spot , she meant to be seen ! Ok so how much did you pay for her ? Now a days she’d fetch $1,000 to $2,000 easy ! By the way nice shop so far ! I’d love to have a OMC test tank like yours ! Do you use Dawn in your tank ?
What's your opinion on the Yamaha 2 strokes? They have stickers on them that say to run 100/1 I run mine at 50/1 and I know a guy that is running his on 100/1 and it is still going strong
There is one more thing that’s those outboards are noted for and that’s broken shift levers ! It’s almost to the point the handle is worth more then the motor ! Lol
Is that an actual outboard testing tank? Or is it something else that you set up to use. Either way pretty awesome! I would love to find me something like this! Great video! And nice find, new old stock anything is my weakness haha
Yes, checked for compression it's at 45psi, I have spark on both cylinders. But once I pull the primer looks like it gets pulled back by itself. Did a whole carb rebuild kit.
Your vids are definitely not boring - we learn a lot from watching, and I for one am very grateful for people like you who instruct on things like mechanics.
Who watches videos of old outboards and complains they are boring? well, duh.... It kind of comes with the territory. This is pure enthusiast content.
Love the videos, no bulls**t just 100% knowledge... I have no clue about boats, just love watching vids like this
Oh man these are really good motors, we had a 5hp Johnsson that looked similar to that, it worked perfectly for over 30!
There will always be haters because they have no life and their life consists of hating on anybody and everybody so don't ever let those low lifes get to you i sincerely enjoy your videos and all of the boating content so keep it coming brother 👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪
I’m afraid I’m the novice hack learning to work on old outboards. I appreciate your repair videos greatly!!!!
Great video! This is one of a kind because I can’t find anything like it anywhere! Thanks for the rundown and the quality content!

running out the fuel is always to be done, you are right, I do that with all single or multiple cyl small engines, chainsaws, lawn mowers, and I don't have to fix fuel foul ups either.
Running a two stroke out of fuel is also running it out of oil! Better off running race fuel or aviation fuel with good two stroke oil
Oil/Fuel lubricates the motor until it dies. If it dies no damage can be done from running without fuel/oil. Also pull the choke when it begins to stall and burn that last bit of fuel.
Wowza! That is a rare find! I'm glad it ended up in the right hands. Most would have just throw that on a boat and destroyed it.

You have set up a nice little work area in your new garage. I wish I had that much room to work on things.
You are a great mechanic you made me a bunch of cash during the pandemic now I’m back to work with a ton of motors and no time to work on them

Recently A guy locally sold a NOS 1958 Evinrude 35HP for $6500.NOS motors even 34 years old go for big $$$ .Nice motor !
Thanks for the great video. Thanks to you, and the excellent maintenance advice, my old Evinrude should outlive me.
Ya wow! new shop and all Love outboards you can carry easylike! In the water and pow! away! gave a thumbs up!

sorry my bad english, i only had english 2 years in school.
Same here.
I speak 2 languages; english, and bad english.
This is what I have on my 14 flat bottom I also have a full second motor for parts I got super lucky
I heard from an Johnson/Evinrude dealer that the 100:1 was OK to run but the problem came about when the outboards sat for a long period of time - the cylinders would rust due to the lean mix so they went back to 50:1.
Wow what a find! It's brand new.. Well sort of. It doesn't look like it was ever put in the water.
I bought a brand new. 9.9 mercury. Been sitting never used or started. Or taken out of ship crate for 24 years & run like it should. New !!
Would love to see some.other content on this exact motor carb adjustment and such. Only one screw to adjust on my motor
That motor is music to my ears! I wish they came back out!

Much, MUCH, better than New!!! (In this case, for real. That quote is from an old AAmco (transmission) commercial. '70's).
Excellent video, very informative 👍🇦🇺👍
I bought that same size can of sealing compound 13 09 plus tax for that little can at a marina
Always been a Merc guy, however really enjoyed this vid, just finished restoring a 25 hp mer .
I look forward to the break in video. Wondering what fuel/oil ratio you ran it on in this first start ever video? I have never had a new outboard so not sure about that stuff. 1987, eh?

Bet it will run this motor is bomb proof love thease motors 👍
I've had little outboards like that when I was a kid. I have a big boat now with a huge outboard on it. I still miss these small engines and a small boat. I think about buying another small boat with a small engine like this.
I have the exact same outboard. When i prime mine that much it floods and wont start. Only one pump to the red line does it on mine.

I recently re-activated a Volvo-Penta 140 (about 12hp) outboard motor, which my father bought somewhen in the 70s or early 80s. Very similar technology. After almost 25 years of storage we replaced both water-pumps (engine coolant pump and boat drain pump) and the sucction-driven fuel-pump membrane. And now its running again - generating the same fun to my children as it did one generation ago in my childhood to our family.
I am curious , if todays technology will still be usable in 35 years - thinking about electronic spare parts availability ...
for that outboard, It might be a concer.
on a side note I need a volvo outboard now.
As smooth as a 4 stroke!
SWEET WELL DONE I GOT A 70 6HP SHE NEED A START SPRING AND A 3 BLADE PROP
Hi I've got an exactly the same outboard 1987 6hp.
Could you possibly do a video of the carb setting and throttle link position for timming and the like.
My outboard tends to shake a bit on tick over but is ok at higher revs.
Would be really helpful for people with the same outboard especially with the black plastic carburetor top.
Love your videos and very informative
Appreciate your videos..amazing what you share..helps me if I have to put mine in the shop gives me a working knowledge so I hopefully won't get taking advantage of. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and how too👍
I have a very old can of gasket sealing compound. I'd like to see what the new stuff looks like in the can to see if I need to replace it. As far as I can tell my old stuff is fine.
if it spreads okay, I would use it.
if it clumps up, I would toss it.
Nice little sparking going on there stay safe. Can't wait for the next video. Also when is the shop tour got to get the preview what we are in for
I have the 5hp version of this, it's in almost new condition like yours. What a mission I had getting the gearbox off , stuck on shaft big time. My one needed a new waterpump and housing, driveshaft needed a good clean and grease and I also put a new thermostat in it.
Really pleased with mine.
Anyone know the difference between the 5hp and the higher horse power ones. Power head looks identical.
They didn't make a 5hp in this model. You more than likely have the 4.5hp. they only made 4.5hp, 6hp, 7.5hp and 8hp
Great video thank you learned a lot I’m replacing the impeller on mine 4 hp Johnson and the shaft is stuck in the motor itself so impossible to replace the impeller any idea how to get the shaft out don’t want to break anything the motor run beautifully,thank you
Could you please do a video on a 93-2006 9.9 or 15hp johnson evinrude big bore motor tear down rebuild, UA-cam that I know of doesn't have one, love your videos have learned a lot from them, thanks martin
I would never run that.. I'd put it in a outboard museum..that is so so rare to find a new outboard that old..so cool.
I have a1969 6hp evinrude. It’s amazing how the build quality deteriorated over the next 20 years.
Maybe do a compression test as a matter of record? Trolls are garbage, forget them. I have learnt so much from watching your videos - down to earth, no annoying music and a homely garage. Would it be OK to use Permatex 81343 anti-seize lubricant on all the bolts?
O yeah. Compression test before and after the break in run
Consider it done.
Great find.
Cool stuff, what a find.
Looks like shiny new,sports car
It's odd that the most active "Haters" have No Content. The good news is negative comments still count as engagement :-) Thanks for the informative content!
Liked the video. But what about the Carburetor gaskets. I would think you would want to change that.
Hi, love your videos. Do you have any instructional videos regarding timing for these motors? Thanks
No; "timing" for these motor is more of a throttle synchronization. I do for the points type ignition though.
@Brandon's Garage OK thanks!
Hi, so for the thermostat, which one do you need because I have the same engine and it turns out that there is only one spring, have you solved the problem? If so, I would like information on this famous thermostat. I am in France . THANKS .
I have a 6hp 85’ Johnson and I think it has a timing issue. Would you be able to post a video of testing the ignition system and adjusting the timing on this style motor?

Howdy. Is the impeller and water pump kit the same for a 1990 Evinrude 6hp as a 1979?
That’s a museum piece
Many years ago, I joined the AOMC, and after a few meets found a brand new 1954 Mercury 40 hp. The guy had it in its original box and was not quite ready to part with it. Called him twice a year just to keep my foot in the door, but after 10 years I gave up. He claimed he wanted to sell it and get some vacation money, but I think he was just a hoarder.
Thats awesome, she is a looker👌👌
So yamaha 5hp that has a stick 100:1 should run on 50:1? Its an 83. I also run it out of gas when I get it of the boat.
I like your video's, but I have a question what time of gare oil should I use on my my bottom end it's a 1981 75 horse Johnson
A museum piece!!
I probably added 1000 views to your lower unit rebuild videos as I worked on my 1989 15hp johnson this weekend. Question- have you ever seen the 5" extension housing become nearly impossible to remove? I am able to detach lower unit but the extension house simply will not drop. I have removed the 6 attachment bolts (both sets) but the water grommet and drive shaft tubing are still passing from extension through to upper section and won't let go! Please help! Thanks
Thanks for the informative video.
I was kind of hoping you were just going to start it up and see what happens though :)
Oh I thought about it a few times.
This was a happy medium, as I was going to change all the fuel lines too.
Good to know that if I find a relic (0 hours) that it doesn't mean it's brand new
Nice gem of an outboard you have ! Finding a motor in that condition is rare ! Display it , don’t tuck her in a dark spot , she meant to be seen ! Ok so how much did you pay for her ? Now a days she’d fetch $1,000 to $2,000 easy ! By the way nice shop so far ! I’d love to have a OMC test tank like yours ! Do you use Dawn in your tank ?
What about changing out the fuel pump?
What's your opinion on the Yamaha 2 strokes? They have stickers on them that say to run 100/1 I run mine at 50/1 and I know a guy that is running his on 100/1 and it is still going strong
There is one more thing that’s those outboards are noted for and that’s broken shift levers ! It’s almost to the point the handle is worth more then the motor ! Lol
Well thats more of the 1970's 6 HP.
These are plastic, so they have a little more flex and don't break when you look at them.
@@BrandonsGarage very true but non the less there not cheap !
i hope you box that up and keep it mint
Is that an actual outboard testing tank? Or is it something else that you set up to use. Either way pretty awesome! I would love to find me something like this! Great video! And nice find, new old stock anything is my weakness haha
That's an actual Evinrude test tank, pretty cool.
When you reasembled the lower part that had paint sealing it. Did you fit a gasket?
Was your shift rod in neutral position.
Was that anti seaz you put on the bolts.
Wow! What a beauty. :)
O motor parece estar excelente! 👍🇧🇷
I have that same motor but used johnson sitting in a warehouse. Mine must be older. No safety laynard. Early 1970’s.
Have the same motor, and cannot make it start without using a squirt of starting fluid. Can you help?
Are you using the primer?
Yes, checked for compression it's at 45psi, I have spark on both cylinders. But once I pull the primer looks like it gets pulled back by itself. Did a whole carb rebuild kit.
@Luis Hernandez primer squirts fuel into the carb, just like starter fluid. If it's working you shouldn't need the fluid.
Sweet. How much did you pay? I’ve seen a few outrageous ads for new old stock 2 strokes. You can’t blame them for trying but they need to realistic.
Guy wanted 1800 for the first year, then 1200, then 800, then I came along and offered $500
They don't make them like they used to! Which is great.
