Muito bom, parabéns amigo.

Does one pump cover both cylinders or do ya need two pumps one for each cylinder

I had a 1957 John Cena 10 horsepower and 1987. It was so quiet that you couldn't hear it unless you was sitting in the back steering it. I had a long shaft on a short shaft boat. I hit a log and bent the shaft. That was the best boat motor I've ever owned.

I see video before it’s T-Mykes, I’m watching him a lot..!🎉

You're awesome

How common are the exhaust leaks you have discussed?

Have the work was done B4 ya started the gears was already on n ready .

Are the “turtle back” OMC engines trouble-prone or are they decent engines?

It's easy to fast forward a video.

By chance, after using the timer tool did you come back with the feeler gauge and see what the gap measured? Nice video, as always. Take care !

Mike, that did help me out greatly, thanks a lot! I will be visiting your store.

Great video Mike. With the cylinders lined up “opposing”, does this engine fire two cylinders at the same time like the later 1940’s 3hp ELTO’s? So two fire, then rotate 180 degrees & the other two fire, right? I can’t wait to hear it run for you! I know you will get it running for sure.

Mike, great video. It is most frustrating to reassemble something then have it not work the way it should especially when you know what you are doing and experienced in your craft. As you mentioned, taking a break and coming back to it always helps.

did you lube gearcase? sounded pretty rough when you were spinning it. if so what did you use, oil or grease? wasn't there an o-ring on drive shaft.

Step one is watching your videos one at the time and happy new year T-Mikes🎉

Thanks T-Mike. Looking forward to your video on gasket making.

I was looking at your Episode #1, you have a compression gauge that has two sets of threads on the part that screws into the hone. Use the larger set of threads as I believe it is for the 18mm spark plugs. The smaller end is for the more normal 14mm threads.

Thanks for the excellent tip. I've got 2 of these. So far that hasn't been an issue for me.

I appreciate your honesty!

Excellent tutorial! Thanks, T-Mike!

Good morning T-Mike, another great video. Every time I watch one of your videos I always learn something new I appreciate all that you do to help the community with these vintage outboard motors.

Dang those parts are probably hard to come by to, most likely. Is that the ‘45

T. Mike, I love the way you break everything down to make it super simple. Now I’m gonna try it on my 1955 Evinrude 7.5 hp!

Mike, Nice video. Watching the video I see that when you removed yoke on the end of the driveshaft, it looked like the washer was between the yoke and tapered roller bearing. You can see it as it falls down behind the yoke at around 3:06-3:25 of the video. I would assume that washer applies pressure to the tapered roller bearing or at least keeps the spacing proper. I'm not sure HOW you can get it to stay put unless you tilt the gearcase OR use grease to hold the washer in place.

I have been making gaskets for years for motors that dealers say are unavailable. Take your time and they will work very well.

One motor at a time 👍

I have a question for you I live in New Orleans Louisiana in marrero and I have a 9.9 Johnson outboard motor and I changed the fuel pump on it and the fuel lines and now it will crank up but it will not stay running at a crank up for about 10 seconds 15 seconds then kill what can be my problem if you can help me out I can I would really appreciate it

T-Mike take that exhaust off while you have it apart. It might be plugged with carbon or a mouse nest. Also check the exhaust relief holes. They are at the bottom of the muffler where the tube slips into the muffler.

Some old coils are they good or need replaced?

My favorite channel

I have the exact motor except the Johnson version. I picked it up about two years ago along with a 1961 12’ Grumman Cartopper, an old Esso outboard, an old trolling motor, a a few old tackle boxes full of old lures, and rods, all for only $200! The guy that owned everything was actually the cello player for Frank Sinatra’s touring band when he came to the Philadelphia and Atlantic City areas! It would be pretty cool if all blue eyes himself was in my little boat with that motor!

I just purchased a 1957 Johnson 7.5 hp model AD-11, it has the same problem with being really hard to pull but it’s not seized. Do you think they would put grease in a lower unit back in 1957? I was actually thinking on emailing you but then this video came out and I’m excited to listen and learn!

I would still try to find some if he’s going to use that motor

I use transmission fluid and acetone 50-50 works pretty good. I put it in a spray bottle shake it up and give it hell. Those old paper coils always fail when sitting you will have to replace coils, condenser and points on all of them great job T Mike

I got me one!

I have a FD-11 I want to use on my 14’ Saturn inflatable KaBoat. Currently it has an extension for a 20” transom and is not burgundy like motor. I also have a 2015 Yamaha 4hp 4 stroke that is great for putting around. I am the same age as my seahorse 18 and would love to get up on a plane with this Beauty. Love your work and channel, couldn’t sleep last night watching. Thank You for sharing your knowledge and love for these motors.

I cajun can make dat outboard fly. cher

Greetings from Greece ! Love what you are doing !!! Happy holidays !!!

Runs like a dream. Great job! Did you notice the bird taking a dive behind you at the 3:32 mark? Maybe he was thirsty haha

Good job, T-Mike! Greetings from from a fan in Norway, Europe. There is ice on the fiord here, so no boating the next 5 months unfortunately.

Had one on a twelve foot semi V years ago. Sold it to a laborer on a job when I got my 16 with a 30hp still have that one 1992

Another great job t mike. It’s 28* here in Hoosier land. This helps me get through the winter

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I have the exact outboard motor mine has been in my family since New and is attached to a 14 foot cedar strip boat thanks always appreciate your videos 😊
