Gotta love old school....no power tools...lol.....great vids! So many good old motors out there to be resurrected.....thanks for sharing your kknowledge!
I have this exact motor. Thanks for your great videos!!!!! You are incredible to share your knowledge I love it! I've got a bad coil to replace. Was running on one cylinder with the idle cranked way up...compression 125 on both, so, everything else is just a pain in the a&& as you say!
@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Hey my friend...Great info but I may have the armature plate a little stiff now Im not sure...I by nature is a perfectionist and I hate it...HEHEHE...I just don't want to damage the plate linkage... I think it will be alright its just tighter than it was...If there is something i should know drop me a line when you get a chance....Thanks my friend.
@@leelynch8671 You mean exactly what I did in the video! Hahaha If you tap it to much you have to take it off and tap it out. Just like I did in the video. Hehehe
@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 LOL and yes...But it runs so sweet except for being a little stiff like me...hehehe..I hate to take it down again my brother.. Your call!!...because thats how we do it >>And BTW way my son is also a youtube star, his handle is (tools and targets) give him a look...He helped me with your fix on the the motor...Thanks my friend
Great tutorial! Was able to eliminate the ignition plate slop in my 62 Evinrude Sportwin 10hp. Took two tries but thankful you showed the process to tighten and correct overtightening. That plate was shaking like it was in withdrawal. Thanks from smoky Ontario, Canada:)
Hiya Gent...I have a dilemma..Just came back from ebay store looking for a flush adapter for my 1975 /25 hp evinrude.They have the flush plate and screws, However it said THIS OLD OUTBOARD had the hose adapter...If you have one for sale leme know brother or where I can get one...YOU DA MAN BABY....👍
Hey Lee. Thanks for tuning in. Yes, it's probably "thisoldoutboard", Like one word. He's here on youtube and I've heard he makes nice parts. I'm the other THIS OLD OUTBOARD, the crazy one. Hahaha Stay Tuned !
Very nice. Old school motors are temperamental but fun to work on. These new computer engines take all the fun out of working on them. You'll go broke buying hi tech tools and parts😆
Johnson Forest Green is what you got there hidden you use to be able to get it in spraycans from Tempo in the 1990S now I believe Moellar bought them out not sure and the old colors are gone with the wind.I miss those old colors that use to be ready available in spraycans like Johnson Warm White , Johnson French Silver, Johnson Holiday Bronze , Evinrude Commodore Blue and Evinrude Polychromatic Blue they were classic nice colors and the only negative was they were Laquer instead of the enamel like they used in the factory but nothing last forever I guess,LOL....... .Glenn P.
GFPALL62 I still buy those in a spray can from a guy in NY , there spendy but true to the color and even Sea horse Green is available! Go to the AOMCI web page , he advertises there !
@@davekimbler2308 Yea Im aware the colors are still available but not Tempo I was told they are gone.I miss the convenience of going to just about any Evinrude Johnson dealer,marine supply and having those paints ready quick and easy to purchase for touchups or even complete paintjobs even so many years after the engines were made up into the late 1990S. Thanks fot your input and info.By the way Tractor Supply sells and off cream white(Majic Brand) like the late 1950S Johnsons and its enamel , very durable and $5.00 /can.Glenn P.
GFPALL62 I guess I’m to much of a purest! When I restore an outboard I have to paint it original colors and not to worried about the costs ! Thank you for your response and info ! SKOL !
All the holes in that brass plate. It don’t matter which set of holes you go back with as long as they line up right! It looks like this same plate is on many many years and sizes
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Only three of the holes will line up correctly, they'll be the ones with the screw head marks on the plate. Thanks again & Stay tuned !
@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 .Man thanks a lot for your channel! I've been buying old Johnsons and starting to rebuild them. I got a 1968 20hp 1964 18hp 1970 25 hp 1965 3 hp 1961 18hp...and the best one I'm going to restore completely is a 1958 5.5 hp
I was wondering, if only such light tapping is required for correction, why couldn't you apply the taps directly to the rotating plate, between the components, using a 3/8" dia. steel or brass rod with flat ends? Then you could tap & check instantly, to perfection; with your place recognized, of course, as an efficient correctional institution. This idea is blather, though, if the plate includes and revolves around a stationary collar (unless you can tap on the collar itself). Now I know a tap on the collar has gender implications...Ha!
thanks for showing me how to get the baseplate off TOO. I busted the keyway off and had to remove it to get to it. Love your videos.
Hey. Thanks for tuning in!
"If you've got compression, everything else is just a pain in the ass". Outboard repair 101 complete!
Yeah Baby! Thanks !
