I've never had a carb fail in all my years... odd...

The 57 and 58 did not have a fuel pump? I missed the first video. Have you modified them and added in fuel pumps?

When you had the carb apart in Video 1, it appeared that the seal between the lower bowl and the carb was badly grooved. This is the seal that goes around the carb pick up tube and it has to seal otherwise the fuel will not go up the tube and out to the venturi. This is just a suggestion. This could be causing you to run with the choke on, making the fuel come up the pick up tube.

Hi T-Mike! I can't wait for the next video in this series...do you know when you will have the next "Battle of the 18's" video for us ?I know you are a real busy guy...you got me hooked!!!!!LOVE IT...Mark C.

Thanks Mike. For people like me that live in a warm climate, (Brisbane Queensland Australia) I'll more than likely cut the inner out the thermostat. You do great work, and I enjoy your videos very much. Best wishes to you and all your viewers.

Good afternoon, im having a no spark issue after running my mercruiser 3.0 with DDIS system. it will run perfect for 1 hour or so, then it will just turn off with no spark while in the water. no spark at the coil but will turn right back on when the motor cools down.

i have a seahorse 10 and i can't get it to tilt to save my life

Can you do it without the timing tool?

Hello im working on a 1975 eska 3.5 is thair an updater carb for this engine tescuma has ruber fluder in carb..thanks

T-mike, how are you buddy.? Hope all is well

Sir, I just purchased my first jon boat and motor. I have rebuilt thr jon boat and resealed it and painted it. I found a , I think, a 67 Jonson outboard 9 1/2 hrp that runs. I'm very capable of working on this but love the fact you are out there for me. You seem like a good guy.

Have you ever used the gallon can called chem dip made by Berryman?

hey mike do you have the bolt and spring for a 64 evinrude rewind? rebuilding motor and kinda busted it lol

Great video Mike definitely helps understanding how these classics run

I'm just getting into doing this with 60s and 70s models. Thought I was subbed but wasn't but am now. Great videos will be watching all of them probably lol

Fantastic. Thank you

You might have blew out the o ring the float needle seats on. I've done that a time or 2

Float is logged and deteriorating clogging the jet. Need a rebuilt kit

Great video! Id be interested what you’d find with both 18 hp Outboards.

👏👏👏👍🫡

The camera angle and quality had me briefly thinking i stumbled upon a strange breaking bad scene

Can you test for air leaks on the cases? Thanks!

Will any thread 5/16 tap work?

Omg!!!! Thank you Mike!!!!!

How about fuel pump or pump vacuum

Thank you for the awesome advice! I will definitely continue watching

Love all your videos, been restoring a 1954 CD-11 5.5 seahorse for a buddy, just got it fired for the first time today and was going through your videos and found this one, was wondering what throttle position did you make this adjustment at?keep up the great videos and keep lookin up🙏🏻

Awesome video. I’m putting together a 1972 Evinrude 9.5. Your videos are helping me a lot. May have to send off a part to you for the magic touch in the future!

Quite a challenge this one. Looking fwd to see it running 😊

Just found your video, been fighting with this flywheel for an hour, your truck worked like a charm

Always makes you feel good when they just fire right up, keep lookin up🙏🏻

I put o rings on the motors connector

Hey T Mike all so helpful thanks a bunch Ron here in Wisconsin I’ve got a 12.9 west bend needing the shifter linkage in the lower unit any luck you might know where I might acquire?

How much did the full restore cost ?

Great job!

If you have any trouble with your Evinrude /Johnson (OMC) engine, these are the videos to look at. T-Mike knows what to do and how to do it correctly. :)

Thanks a lot, Mike! :) It confirmed what I was thinking. No need for a timing tool complicated dicking around on it. Just like any old motor with points...adjust them at the TDC and that's it. I saw another video showing a 40 $ timing tool which is no more than a piece of metal bent 90 degrees on both ends and ground to a point...oh and a bushing in it with a keyway. Your method will work on my Johnson Seahorse 3 HP (1964) and my Evinrude Sport Twin (1970).

Great work, I'm interested in doing a short 9.5 to a long conversion. I found this very informative thank you.

Great videos My dad bought a used Evinrude 9.5 back around 1980 I think it's the 73 but it might be a little older anyways appreciate the videos

Always a pleasure. Thanks Mike. These new things I always like to check out with you first. Cheers. Hey! Are you mostly fresh water where you are? Where I am the only salt water I see is when I soak in ebson salts after a hard day! French river Ontario.

Hello first of all you've helped me out so much by watching your videos I think they're the greatest I'm a newbie I just bought 14 ft Larson fiberglass boat a 1963 it has a Mercury 50 horsepower 4 cylinder 2-cycle my question is the distributor rotates a quarter inch back and forth when I put it in neutral and raise the throttle the distributor moves to that position and stays there is that normal 4 the distributor to move back and forth like that. I really appreciate your answer. Thank you so very much Bill karras.

Good job

What a little beauty. I hope you show it to us when it's fully restored. I don't know why, but for some reason I especially love seeing these vintage lower-horsepower cuties.

Great video Thankyou

The feeling of getting those old motors to fire is so special, I love it. Good job Mike...

Not the best two motors to use for illustration. While your definitions are correct, the 9.5 showed as a long shaft. Your first measurement gave you 15" to the gear case, not the cav plate - and when defining it to the cav plate, it is considerably lower than the keel. The Yachtwin does appear to be 20", but that model was sold as an XL. It's a sailboat motor. It might be worth revisiting this vid as the comments reflect the confusion.

Thank you for the helpful video! I messed up and had the spring feeding backwards my first try. Check that it is feeding in downwards not upwards.

Would this kit work for a evinrude model 3034?

How in the world do you do all this as a "one person shop" ? T-Mike you must be "SUPERMAN"....I really enjoy your channel, Thank You ! Mark C.

What about the same issue with a smaller outboard that has a built in gas tank and no bulb?
