Thanks for the video also you’re very informative in the comments. I’m working on a ‘81 25 she’s about to be dialed but now have to adjust the timing as you mentioned. One problemo at a time!
Hey. Thanks for tuning in!
Nice lake and that motor is running good now. Thanks for sharing.
Hey. Thanks for watching and commenting . Stay tuned !
Blast from the past first outboard I ever had pull start great little motor saltwater fishing south Louisiana nice looking fishing spots nice tour
Hey. Thanks I appreciate you watching and commenting. Stay tuned !
Hey Man, that clear water, use a red mister twister with a with a hook coming out right in middle, hook exposed even balancing the worm to go down flat and slowly no weight use a spinning rod, keep the slack out. Without moving it too much and hang on!
Hey. I'll give it a shot next time. Thanks !
I finally got my 78 20 hp Evinrude dialed in the throttle linkage between the carb and mag plate was set at the wrong length. It was over revving a 1/4 inch adjustment solved that big time. Then I had to file off some metal on the shifter catch so it would completely shift into forward without jumping. It runs really strong love those old engines all mechanical no plastic with few very few wires. Can't wait for a decent day to go fishing now that the ice is pretty much gone.
Hey. Sounds Good ! Where's the video? Okay, I'll wait for the Fishing Video. Glad your up and running! I'll be waiting. Hahaha Thx
The shellcracker are already full of eggs here in NW Fla,thanks for the ride.
Hey. yeah hopefully I can get some fishing in this weekend, rain in the forecast though you never know ! What do you use for bait, live or Artificial .
@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Live wigglers on the bottom.
@@baird5776mullet wow. I havent done that in a while
Sweet!
Hey. Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Thx again. Stay tuned !
Great video! Thanks for the tour! What's the average size bass you are catching there?
Hey. Thank You and your welcome ! Well I've always had a problem with estimating the weight and tend to under estimate so I can tell you the length is around 15-16 inches on the average schoolers. Nice boat. Thx
Dude awesome, I am restoring a 1981 evinrude 25 Hp too! My first big problem was the electrical connectors, the wires all aged and falling apart, so got the new wires in and she runs better! Now need to check out the fuel pump and carb.... should I just buy new fuel pumps?
Hey I would pull the carburetor off for sure and check it out clean it up might be part of the problem normally the only thing that needs replaced is the needle And as far as the fuel pump goes if it ain't broke don't fix it you could doing upgrade and just buy a kit and replace the diaphragms. Anyway let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay tuned!
I dont have the retainer either on mine and it turns way to easy and was almost ready to fall out, thanks for the help, would this make it act like its missing and stall out? Probably another issue, this new/old motor and boat is getting me ready to sell it lol
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yes without the retainer it's sucking air and will cause those types of problems. Check ebay for deals on retainers. And do a super clean on that carb, low speed circuit and high speed circuit. Thanks again and stay tuned !
@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Cool, my problem turned out to be the fuel mixture was too rich, first boat motor for me, live and learn
That's a very beautiful lake, glad you got the motor running right. So what's next? How hard is it to install a push start on the motor ? Do do have a kill switch installed on the motor.
Hey. Yes the Conway Chain is great! Here's how hard it is to wire up a start and kill switch. Check it out. ua-cam.com/video/vqeI2wIrWg8/v-deo.html Thx Stay tuned !
this video may be a big help to me.i have this same prob.
Hey Rick. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay tuned !
What propeller are you running? I have that same motor and the prop is chipped, I’m surprised that it’s so hard to find a prop that doesn’t cost $150+. I’m looking for a 9.25 x 12
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Can't remember which it was 9 x 10 or 12. Yeah everything is going up. Try ebay sometimes you can find a good deal. Thanks again !
Enjoyed the video! Do you just work on evinrudes? Did you build your own motor stands?
Hey. Pretty Much just Johnson / Evinrude . Parts are always available unlike the Mercury's, hard to get and Stupid Expensive ! I like the Yamahas too, but they just dont come up that often. Johnson/Evinrude is the Briggs and Stratton in the outboard world ! And they run forever ! Yeah Baby!
Had that same "clicking" situation on my mower and new battery was good and it was the wire also.
Yeah same problem on my 63 28 hp Johnson RX-11 (HAHAHA I COULD KEEP GOING) Super Seahorse, Short Shaft...(ok ok, thats enough), and it was the ground from the power head to the pan was missing and I dont remember seeing one on this motor. I'll find out this week end. thx
damm the 25 is running good
Yeah Man. Now I'm Jonesen for a Build. Pickins have been thin round here. Maybe the $40 Craigslist Special , or should I say the 1968 20 Hp Johnson. We'll see. thx Stay tuned !
How many turns on the low idle screw do you turn it? I’m about to rebuild my carb, and that thing has never been set on my boat, it would be nice to know what to set it at after I do the rebuild. Thanks you’re the reason I do it all my self now 😂 keep up the videos
Hey. Thanks and Thanks. One and a half turns out from seated (gently seated) should get you up and running and then you can dial it in from there. I'll let leeroy explain it. Everything you need to know is at leeroys. Doesn't matter what HP your motor is. The procedures are the same for all these small omc motors. Lots of good info here and go to his home page for more. BTW what motor do you have? Thx. Stay tuned ! www.leeroysramblings.com/Johnson_9.9_carb-fuel_pump.htm
THIS OLD OUTBOARD I have a 73 25hp Johnson seahorse, love the engine!
@@Go-with-theFlo 👍 Yeah Man. One of my Favs ! Thx
Reminiscing on your older videos, that rain looks just like ft myers because of this stupid hurricane Elsa crap!
Hope all is well
It's been Brutal. Thanks for tuning in!
Ive johnson 35 hp card low speed adjusting needle with out retainer, im wating carb repair kit to fix that the motor run high and random idling hope that fix my problem
Hey. Its running high because its sucking air. The retainer should fix it. Thanks and Stay Tuned!
Is this lake spring fed? it's beautiful.
I would imagine it is. It's the Conway chain. Cant wait to catch some wild shiners, I cant find any over here in this lake, but they got to be in there some where
hello awesome video as always I was wondering if you could take the time to make a video explaining how to lynk and sync these motor I have a 1983 evinrude 35hp that I have replaced nearly every mechanical and electric part including a new reman carb so my problem is when I start it up it sounds like its revving at 4500 rpm and when I turn my little idle speed screw I don't get much reaction
Hey. I'll see what I can do. Sounds like your roller (CAM FOLLOWER) on the throttle cam is set wrong. Set your slow speed screw 1.5 turns out from seated, then, You want the carb butterfly to start opening just as the roller hits the two marks on the throttle cam. loosen the screw/linkage on the carb and set the roller so its touching the cam just before the first mark and tighten the screw, now turn the throttle back and forth, you'll see the carb just starting to open. Reset it to the marks as close as yo can. that should get you started and running at a normal rpm. Now turn off the motor and put it in forward gear and turn it to full throttle . Now look inside at the carb at the butterfly, it should be perfectly horizontal if not adjust the throttle rod screw. Hope that helps. let me know how it goes. thx. Stay tuned !
Why did you choose this particular engine, even though you have many engines? Is it the best and the most effective?
Hey. No not necessarily, Just another Evinrude ! Sorry I never got your comment. Hope your doing well. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned !
What hull is that i have the same motor on a 1544 skeeter looks just like yours.
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. It's a 15' Dura Craft. Thanks again !
So i say tie the boat up from both sides so it doesn't knock against either side. It should sit in the middle of the dock space. But what do I know. Isn't there a lift stuck in the muck down under? Just sayin.
hahahaaaa. Yep was gonna do dat but dont think my chain/lock will reach. Speaking of, guess what fell in the water the other day, hahaha, thats right the lock went for a swim! It only took me about 15 minutes to fish it out, much easier than a copper tube. And yes, I believe there is a lift down in the weeds and muck. Stay tuned for that Video! it should be a doozy
What kind of starter do you have and where did you find it?
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. It came on the motor. Don't know what brand it was. Best thing to do is go to marineengine.com, lookup your year/model, check the parts schematic for part numbers, you may need the bracket too, I don't know. Then search the part numbers on ebay. Search the numbers twice. Once with the "0" at the beginning of the number and again without the "0'. Some sellers don't use the "0" and some do. Some use both. You can get generac starters new for $40-50 on ebay. And/or if you need the bracket you might find a deal for both. Thanks again & Stay tuned !
I have a 25hp Johnson 1983 and after the impeller change it’s barely pumping water and running extremely hot think it’s the thermostat?
Hey. You said "after'' the impeller change. Does that mean it was pumping before you changed it. If thats the case the water tube may not be aligned and its getting no water. If thats not the case then yes could be the thermostat. Or the upper water tube grommet is bad. Or if its been sitting for awhile it could be full of Mud- Dobbers. You could try and hook a high pressure hose up to the water tube and flush it out. Or just pull the thermostat cover off and go from there. But be careful, those cover bolts break easy if there is bad corrosion.
Funny. I left a sunkin john boat in the lake behind my house....
Hahaha I know you, Dont I. Hahaha
Glad it’s up and running ! Point the bow into the dock ? I use the rubber O rings from harbor freight, I think there #9 or #10’s . I just scored a Johnson 1954 10hp LONGSHAFT ! It’s a runner besides! For $30 . I’m going to fully restore it for my collection. I’ve never seen a 54 longshaft before I’m thinking there not to many of them around ! SKOL BUD !
Hey. Sounds good. Are you going to do some vids on the restore. LMK Thanks. Stay tuned !
THIS OLD OUTBOARD ya know I’m thinking I might ! According to some research I’ve done they never made a QDL-15 but I have one ! How cool is that !
@@davekimbler2308 shaweeet ! 👍
im sure they work, but with such a cheap part considering how important it is id go atleast sierra if not omc. im surprised, however, that you found an o ring like the one needed as it has a little arm sticking out of it to prevent it turning in the carb body, which would make it leak air if it didn't.
Looking for some short shaft parts for a 25 hp I have a long shaft none through hub exhaust. Anything your way as far as parts?
Hey. Not me. I pretty much hang on to what I got cause I never know when I'm gonna need them. Try Ebay and Craigslist and Offerup. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned !
what’s the difference between a tracker Johnson and a evinrude
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. The difference as far as I know are paint color and the word Tracker. They were made for the Tracker Boats. And that's all I know! Thanks again !
I have the same motor that won't stay running. I'm ready to give up
Hey. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hate when that happens. Hopefully it's something simple, one of the most overlooked things is the slow speed circuit in the carb not clean and it won't idle. Or even an air leak in the fuel system. Coil could be breaking down after it warms up. What may seem like a fuel issue could be an ignition problem and vice versa. Go through both fuel and ignition systems. If it's got good compression it should run. What is it doing?
It's bogging down when I try to take it off of choke. Is just gurgle and dies. I had it in gear and running with the choke open, them she died and I can't get her to start without starting fluid.
@@samcappelli146 Sounds typical of a clogged carb, no fuel going through it, just boggs. Super clean the carb. Go through the entire fuel system too. Check that fuel pump.
SIMPLE FIX
👌
😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👏👏
Hey. Hows are doing with your outboards? Good I hope. Thanks, Stay tuned !
@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 ...yes my outboard works well I download a user manual for eu I understand the mechanics of this model .. but in our country we do not have these spare parts unfortunately ... thank you
