  • Well, it’s not the most powerful thing around rated at 5hp, but it sure does run sweet. Great job Mason!

    Purdy and strong! You can't say that about many HD TD TN's!

      It seems that way. 😂

    I spent hours as a kid with my friend Craig as his dad dragged us around the lake hanging on to a truck innertube tied to about 30 feet of rope behind one of those on a 12 foot Sears aluminum boat.

      Sounds like something that I’d like to do!

    Went stronger than I expected. Idles so low too. Almost on the plane. Pee hole not standard. They spray straight down. Saw one on another video. Lovely little outboard. ❤

    It supposed to piss out the exhaust but they route it to make sure the waterpump is working, we had two of them back in the 70s and that was the first thing dad did.
    Love them ole motors thanks

    Had so much fun with one of these on a 14' StarCraft when I was a kid. Run all day on a couple bucks worth of gas.

      Nice! It’s such a smooth running engine.

    The factory tell-tale is a port on the fitting just behind and slightly below the idle mixture adjustment. When you spin the motor around for reverse, it dribbles on the top of the transom bracket and rolls off the back. Very little or nothing would drip in the boat. There’s also ports drilled in the shaft housing just above the trim adjustment wingnut and bolt, which is exhaust relief and water discharge. When the motor is running at mid to high speed there should be a good spray of water coming out those relief ports.
    Beautifully running engine. Mine is a TN-26 from 1950. I haven’t run it for 30 years, need to get it up and going again.

    I think it's supposed to leak out of that fitting. I got one running for a friend. It was a pain.

    This one is my favorite. It purrs like a cat from an almost standstill idle to its highest top end.🚤

      I agree, it sure is smooth and quiet. If it only had a little more power it would be the cat’s meow. 😉

    hey nice motor. I have question for you. I guy wants me to work his 1955 25 hp Johnson. His say it way low on power. I have never work on a 25hp. I was wondering what compression should be. I checked and its about 88 on both wondering if that the problem before I even start. It runs and has spark in both clys.

      Compression gauges vary unfortunately, but your 88psi on BOTH cylinders is sufficient for a good running engine. Did you do it after running to confirm that the head gasket is good? The 25 is really no different than any other twin two stroke. Make sure vitals are good and then work towards pin pointing the problem.
