You really cant beat these old motors they are like tanks. The problem is getting affordable parts for some of them. Nice find.
Land and Sea has affordable parts
I just got a 62’s 9.5 evanrude for $150 and it runs perfectly so far and I’m seeing more parts available than I thought
In Australia the Johnson And Evinrude outboards are a piece of shit I haven't heard one person in our country say that Johnson And Evinrude run great.
@@DunnoAu-h8o you guys musta been sent the defected ones then. Sorry for your luck.
You can never judge how a outboard will run by the condition of it's cover.
leave his scallywag out of it
But his owner , yes we can .....

The decals REALLY made the difference. That motor looks close to brand new now. It runs so smoothly and also doesn't smoke like many of the old two cycle ones did. Great job!
Dude your free motor is better than the motor I paid for that came on my boat lol
Hahah me to ive got a little 1980 9.9 evinrude but i need that 25hp for three people.
Where do you find these
@@pioneerman8467 always a good idea to put the maximum rated h.p. on the boat for best performance. I got an old 8 h.p. mercury on my 12 ' jon boat .

He does a great job
I know your a Yamaha guy but you cannot deny those old Johnson/Evinrude motors are tanks!! I have quite a few. I have a 50 year old Evinrude 15hp that is still running strong, probably won’t be able to say that about these newer engines. Love your videos man keep them coming!!
Hi my name is John from Kenya, how can I get that I need 15hp
You're right! I've got over 100 vintage outboards and I have only a couple that I haven't been able to get running again. They were just built better back then and very little plastic! My oldest is a 1940 Champion Challenger 3.2 HP that I bought at a scrap yard for $29 Lol 😆. Little bit of cleaning of the carb & points and she's a running, pumping little gem 💎. My newest motors and my 'Daily Drivers' are a trio of 1966 thru 1968 Evinrude 18's and a pair of 1968 Chrysler 20's. I love the old motors 😁
Great Job man, good to see guys in your generation take interest in theses 70's motors to keep them running with a little work. I used to toodle around in those things (usually 7-15 horse power Merc's)in the early 60's with my parents and we gradually got bigger by the 70's.
"It is actually really clean but it is really dirty"
ah yes, I see.
Came to comment section just to see this comment lol
It all depends on how much money you have and what kind of mentality you have in life. Therefore, it is a good motor even now.
@@MRScrubNasty Had an ex that summed that phrase up. Good times.
He means clean of corrosion and effects of wear that affect the engine functionality
@@lt3k666 I know I just thought it was a funny quote when removed from context
You have inspired me to get a 1970's era 9.9 Gamefisher that has been sitting in my yard for 25 years running. Last time I used it the impellar was crap. Onward
I owned one as a gamefisher outboard as a kid. Ordered new from Sears catalog. They were a japanese brand (tanaka) licenced by sears sold as gamefisher...great motor.
If a 1990 might be a 'Force' made Outboard. Force took over Chrysler outboard motors in about 1984
OK. At 1:30 when you spin engine over a couple times.... I thought that was someone singing "doo do doo doo"
Lol
Like Lisa from The Simpsons playing the saxophone
I thought the same exact thing hahaha
😂😂😂🤟🤟same
I'm guilty as charged. I did too 😂😂
Every video impresses me. I'm just waiting for:
Will this sunken titanic engine run again??
Just need to clean the carbs and get new sparkplugs and new impeller and then it will run good
Perfect call on the older style decals , so classic !
Very nice, I just picked up a free boat motor the other day, don't know what I will be doing with it, but you have inspired me. thanks for sharing.
Love your vids
@Hector Cullen shut up scam bot
@@scout1710 ikr
Ship it to me if its tiller steer and 35hp or less I need my first ever boat motor for the boat I just bought
Turn it into a mailbox.
Such a nostalgic feeling seeing that old Johnson running!! That’s awesome man!!

Watched a few of your vids now, you're inspiring me to shake of my lethargy in tackling a tiny 4hp Marine 2 stroke I un-ceased ( after a mate ran it dry !! 10 years ago ) but never got it running. You make it look so straight forward, and I can see what the common easily fixed faults are. Thanks
You really remind me of myself but you are a much younger version of me. The extra things you did with putting the motor back into service shows me that you are thinking ahead. I do stuff like that all the time.
I have got lucky a few times when I go to buy something off of craigslist. I went to this man's house to buy a 8-ft fiberglass ladder. So of course I needed to bring my pickup truck. He and I started talking and after about a half an hour he started pulling out all different kind of lawn equipment. Most of them looked brand new. He asked me if I would be interested in them. I told him I'm not sure if I would have enough money on me to pay him for any of that. I explained to him when I go to buy something I only bring that amount with me. He said no I want to see if you want these I'm not asking for money. He told me he knows nothing about working on motors and when we were talking I told him how I fix almost everything around my house. I ended up being there for over 2 hours which an hour and a half was just loading things into my pickup truck. I really thought I was going to have to make a second trip lol. He even had roof shingles and I actually needed the roof shingles for my brand new shed I was building that weekend. He just gave it all to me. He even gave me some of the old gas tanks that actually works better than these new ones.
I look forward to watching more of your videos I do enjoy them. Again good job.
Love your work! Just check, I think you painted over the anode, which should stay exposed as a sacrificial part for corrosion.
In all my years, I've never had a "ran last time I used it" motor actually run without spending a bit of money. This my friend was a unicorn. Lol.
The most annoying used by phrase “worked last time we used it” haha
Nice job ! I found that a leak down tester is more reliable. With the leak down tester you’ll be able to see why the motor runs good at a higher RPM but won’t idle . Raising the idle setting to keep the mother running is hard on the lower unit when shifting , chipping gears and causing complete failure . Nice save for a good old Johnson motor 👍
Gotta say im really amazed by how great it turned out with very basic restoration.
Old Johnson boat motors are true classics and seemingly will never die! If I was to buy an old motor it would definitely be a Johnson. Great job refurbishing that one buddy!
OMC made some great engines, and this was one of the best they made. Take care of it, and it'll out-live all of us!
Wow, I have an old 20hp that hasn't run in 3 years. I'm going to to try to start it now. Thanks for the quick tips.
Awesome job. It’s amazing how those motors can be neglected for years and be brought back to life.
Your very right there
Hey Man, thanks for the trouble shooting videos. I worked on my long sitting Tohatsu 6 and got it running thanks to you. The local marine shop told me to come back in 3 months when I took it over there. Forget them. Problem in this area is lack of service business to help boaters. Keep up the great vids. thanks.
Watching so many of these, I've concluded that in FL mold and moss will grow even on people if they stand still for very long. Great videos.

@@chuckstith838 did you mean The Creature from the Black Lagoon? If not, I'll need to actually try to find that obscure movie...lol
I saw your motor and I thought it was about an 89-90 model at first. Then you clarified on that before you put the older style decals on. I like the looks of the older decals too. Probably my favorite were late 70s early 80s. Hard to beat the old school OMC Johnson/Evinrude 2 stroke motors. Cool video!
It is simply amazing how those decals and a bit of paint turn that little motor around...
I just picked up a 1969 Johnson 85hp V4. looking forward to seeing what this can do. Very informative, learned a lot.
That is really AWESOME!!!!! Great job bringing it back to life ... Runs out perfect.... Have fun and be careful....
I got a free 2009 50 mercury 2 stroke from my mechanic. Granite I had to replace the steering tube , clean the carbs and replace the water pump and lower unit. She’s running great now. She looks amazing on my 13 ft Boston whaler. Maybe one day I’ll see y’all out on the water. I live in st Petersburg too
That thing will run for another ten years easy.
You resurrected that SeaHorse proud. 👏👏 No doubt she's happy to be back on the water. 👍
Thanks for the spoiler why would i even bother watching huh idiot
More like another 20 years!
It really will run for as long as it is maintained correctly. Ha great motors
Vee Cee holy shit have you not learned over probably years of your ass watching RUclips that THE COMMENTS IS FOR AFTER THE VIDEO
One of the best motors ever built. I’m always looking for that exact motor
I have a 91 25 johnson long shaft
Seems like a perfect engine for the boat . Great job on the Johnson 25
Great job getting as much use as possible out of that motor. Good job on the making of the video also.
I got an old 15 that was literally full of salt and sand after a hurricane for free, best motor I ever owned till some asshole stole it.
Only clamp lock the motors you want to keep.
My bad. I’ll put it back.
ssame thing here
Nice job! Thanks for keeping it out of the landfill.
I've seen mechanics repair cracks in the housings or even the engine blocks with JB Weld. It works too!
Can't beat free, and those old Johnson's run great. Nice score!
Some Old Timers I knew, used to give me all of their old outboards. Come on over kid and just haul it away. Some of them were absolutely dumpster material. All of them had some useful parts and pieces. I cobbled several fine running outboards together back then for nothing but some time on tools. Fuel and spark systems were usually the problem. Every once in a while it might not want to shift or needed a water pump. The Evinrudes and Johnsons were always what was given to me. For some reason I didn't have a fleet of Mercurys. Not that they don't have issues too. Peace.
Goes to show that Evinrudes never die. So unfortunate they are closing after 113 years.
Noooo, the best engine i ever had was an evinrude! what about johnson?
I was shocked that they are closing, especially after the South Florida Fishing Channel guy just fitted his boat with a new Evinrude.
Isn’t the outboard in the video a Johnson?
@@GoldWave816 evinrude and johnson was the same thing, just different stickers on the outside
I considered Evinrude and Johnson dead when omc went under
Watching you get a motor running is so satisfying! Reminds me of when I worked on cars that hadn't run for years and got them running.
Make sure you take the paint off the sacrificial anode.
Glad I found this channel. I feel like I’m learning so much with these! Thanks for all the detail and explaining as well!
Great video. Solder connections are better than those pinch type in my opinion!
It’s fun watching you giving life back to these machines.
Dude loving the Alfa in the background
Key2theUniverse was about to comment the same haha
@@roberthall6022 it's lovely I'd be jealous but then I'd remember it's an Alfa 😂😂😂
great video. working on this stuff is half the fun. getting out on the water is just icing on the cake.
I think I have found the Andrew Camarata of the boat world.
Andrew is pretty boat handy as well! Boat Guy needs a safety inspector though! #leviisonthejob
Yes yes agreed
Maybe he'll do some recreational excavating to get away from his boat work.
I bought a 17' Shakespeare which had a 140 Johnson, it was a ex army engine, painted matt black with a short shaft and no electric trim tilt also it had a extra thick case which made it really quiet. After a good clean, respray and up to date decals it look the business.
Drank a like a alcoholic lock in a off licence though
Great watching this video reminded me how proud I was when done.
Best one armed mechanic in all of Southwest FLA.... 😂
I love taking old outboard and overhauling them myself you can make good money fixing them up and selling them as long as you get them for good price and free is a damn good price!you probably have 150 bucks tops in that engine and time and could easily sell for 350 to 500 bucks
There are a couple of engines that were real work horses; that was one of them. That, the Evinrude 1988 "88", the Johnson 70hp Sea Horse. Many others, but those stand out.
The 1960 series Evinrude 18 hp's are another that are great ones too! I picked up three of them; the 1966- '67 and '68 of the series and I went through all three of them. I used them all summer on Saginaw Bay here in AuGres Michigan. Couldn't agree with you more
Wow! Keep doing this! I got a POS Force 70 by Mercury that has been sitting for 15 years that I am gonna try and revive. It was my dads that he gave me back in the day when he got a new boat. Wish me luck!
How many motors have hung off the back of the boat lol.
Is fixing and repairing these boats/motors a full time job for you or a hobby ??
Both
@@timsussenbach5376 Out of curiosity, how much money would you sell and old motor like that for after cleaning it up?
@@dizzybro 10.000 Dollars.

@@timsussenbach5376 how do i get in touch with you regarding this motor?
Such a great video! Thanks for sharing. Got myself an old(and running) Yamaha 40hp from 1983 that I will be giving the same TLC that you gave this sweet old Johnson! Happy boating!
This was an extremely satisfying video. WOW.
A new life. Bet that's one happy motor .. that was destined for the junk yard. And you did real good. Congrats! You deserve this old girl
Great video!
The old girl came up a treat. Great work mate - well done.
You make it look so damn easy
I'm excited to have joined your channel. In one week I start a 2-year class to be a small boat technician. A new endeavor at 65!
“Wow it’s actually really clean, it’s just really dirty” 🤣✌🏻
I have a johnson 20hp of the same era. Still runs like a champ.
Dang I’m so unlucky I never find anything free like that ever wow
Dude GREAT job!! And a great inspirational video!!! I have a 1985 Mercury 25hp xd electric start. Hasn’t run in 30 yrs. You have really inspired me to tackle what I have been fearing!!
Thank you!! Great job!!
I'm sure it will run! I always take the carburetor off first thing because most people put them up and never run them completely dry. It will save you from trouble getting it to run by starting with a clean carburetor. Good luck!
Issue is...
There’s only ONE THUMBS UP 👍 BUTTON
😊
great restore job! i want to see a video of you repainting and showing some love to that jon boat you love to have in videos!
Awesome, i love anything marine, I'm trying to learn how to work on outboards from you. I just find it interesting.
Wish I could find a free motor like that. Like the older decals, looks way better than the90s decals. If OMC would have kept making these motors like this, they would still be in business. Good find, enjoy!
That the best sounding 2 stroke outboard
I agree! Grew up with a 1977 25 hp - Seahorse 521 cc! 😀
Nice job! Prior to 2006 I picked up a free 45 HP Sea King. Short shaft, no tiller. Don't have anything to mount it on so I never really messed with it. Other than cranking it over, it sounded like it had okay compression. But the control cables were frayed and when I tried to move the throttle lever it didn't do any good. But watching your video just gave me the incentive to start working on it. I don't know how many years it's at prior to me getting it. But someone told me that the numbers said it's a Chrysler.
Do you still have the Sea King? Im also in Michigan and I would be interested in it. I realize this is a three year old comment but it's worth a try! I live in AuGres Michigan
Hey Eric, I like near you and was wondering if you have a 90hp Yamaha for sale?
Recycling at its best. Another great video. I always learn something when I watch your content. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, do you work on motors for other people? I have a rough idling 4 stroke 6hp in need of a tune up....I’m in St Petes. Let me know and let’s touch base. Thanks man.
I'm from philippines palawan also i have alot of motor outboards and all of ur videos helps me alot... thank men 😊
Man seeing these dates, July 2020 and gas was like $2.00 a gallon. We were out on the water every weekend just killing it. Now my boat just sits in dry storage. Can't really afford a 300 hp jet boat anymore...thanks Biden.

Try $9 dollars a gallon in uk 🇬🇧
It’s not Biden. It’s not Republicans or Democrats. Geez, give it a rest. It is the major oil companies EACH making 100s of $$ millions in weekly profits. Profits after pigeon holing funds for everything they can think of (future costs planned).

I think this is one of my favorite videos of yours to get something like that to run and look that great again is amazing!
Uh, at least remove the paint from the zincs...
Your neighbors must love you. I don't live beside you and I appreciate the work.
I love it when I find little gems like this . You got some love with that little find. Right on ! I wouldn't get rid of it, that baby runs to good.
Awesome refurb! I grew up with the model before this one and spent many hours on lake tarpon with it! Such a dependable little engine.
Every once in awhile, one of the better things in life IS free! Nice find and nice job on the cleanup.
Nice job on this motor! I can tell you're really pleased with how it turned out.
I wish I could learn more from this. The carb etc.. fantastic. Thanks :)
I have had a similar Evinrude engine since the early 90s. Stii starts on the first pull . Great engine.
I'm really enjoying your video's. I have a 78' Evinrude 70 hp. 3cyl. I've had it out once since I purchased the boat (67' Glasspar Avalon) and from what I've learned from you, I'll go thru and check all.
Pretty nice free motor. Also, this was super helpful in terms of troubleshooting logic. Thanks! By the way, when you are holding something close to the camera and the camera is focusing on the background, you have to say "focus you fuck" in an angry voice. Then the camera will try harder to focus on whatever is close to the camera. Seems to work for some youtubers at least.
Someone can count on this guy to get there motor fixed 👍🏽 that’s good that you know this stuff bro
Your sweetie is a very patient lady. Maybe an install of a comfortable boat seat should be in order?? Awesome vids! Always learning!!
Really enjoyed this presentation. Lots of knowledge and entertainment. Thanks!
I got a very similar 1983 25hp Johnson with a boat I bought. After putting a new wiring harness on it (mice had ate it up) and a basic tuneup, it was like new. It would start and run on the first pull every single time.
Really enjoyed watching your video... Bloody brilliant ... Thanks for sharing I bet I'm not the only one who learnt something there!!!
Nicem Cannot believe that was ever retired in the first place. Looks sharp now!
Gotta love those old OMCs. They were made to last. My dad worked at the plant in Waukegan for 33 years.
That’s awesome. Last month I bought a 5225Watt generator for $20 not running. I got it home and found the fuel filter was clogged. It started right up and works fine😂
Good job man. Looks like a great motor. I’m a huge fan of the older Johnson’s. I have a 1984 Johnson 25hp that runs amazing and better than a brand new motor. Also have a 1995 Johnson 30hp that’s been reliable and amazing for many years.
So cool to see that restored to good use.
Those old 2 stroke motors were so reliable. You got a good motor for sure.
I actually have one of these motors, a slightly newer model as it is dark blue instead of white. But you are right they are great running motors, and pretty good on fuel consumption as well.
