outside temp is up to 50 degrees today, getting close to turning off the space heater and opening the door and windows… is it weird that I like the smell of 2-stroke smoke?
Nice motor. Whoever owned it, really took care of it. I have a 72 6HP, which is a later version of the same motor. Not nearly as nice as yours to begin with and it took a lot of work to get it running right. Great find and nice video!
I am learning not to judge an outboard by it’s cover, that thing looked pretty bad but under the hood it looked almost new. Funny how very similar motors have slightly different horsepower, must be different carbs and reeds or something.
@@partscannongarage Not sure what it is. I know the 90s 3hp 4hp Johnson Evinrudes had the same size carb also the same bore and stroke. I thiink the same may be true of the Mercury 7.5 and 9.8 motors. Maybe the carb was bigger in that case. Have fun!
My grandfather had that same engine for his boat, seeing it brings back many fond memories.
Moldy Moldy Moldy! Nice work!!! You need to crack that window or shop door or anything! haha. Congrats!
