I just... love the little buger !!!!!?

My grandfather had a 1958 10 hp Johnson that got used every year both fresh and salt water. In 1988 it was still in use, looked brand new and ran as good as the day he bought it. We never had much money so we saved, bought the best we could and took great care of what we had. Amazing what happens when you take care of stuff.

Another great video Glenn. Old motor sure has come a long ways those darn points lol now you got some spark! Your going to have it running in no time now. Looking forward to seeing you get this one going. Good deal on those parts you scored for the Johnson. Never know what guys got for sale on marketplace im always looking on there lol. Keep up the great work always enjoy watching! Take care my friend 👍🏻

I appreciate the fact that you do not scrap those old motors. Good work, enjoying the series.

Need parts 2HP-40HP mostly OMCs 1950S-80S and some off brands complete engines,gearcases,blocks ,etc.

Your moving along pretty good to me. Most dont realize whats being actually accomplished up until now in this video.Keep up the Good Work ...regards Frank

Wow! Looks New that's some good paint

Bow fishing at night we saw a Evinrude 70hp motor with a broken transom still bolted to it. I dried it out and lubed it up. It started and ran! I use it on my boat today. I had to clean carbs and replaced reed valves. New impeller for the water pump. I replaced piston rings also. It runs great!

Great video Glenn. A lot of guys would have said that motor is toast but not you lol. The bottom end sure looks nice now nice job. Keep up the great work another one coming back to life. Take care 👍🏻

Gotta love that rod bolt! The rods were probably toast anyway from the botched previous attack on the powerhead. OK, this one does have the crummy lower seal I mentioned in place of the carbon seal, OMC returned to the carbon seal again in 1957. These seals rusted and failed, many powerheads were slowly destroyed from water ingestion through the damaged lower seal. Are you using the Yamaha paint?? Wonder what was up with the doubled up fuel pump bypass covers, glad you returned them to original.

I see your moving along pretty good! Amazing that this motor will ever run up again someday after all the years lying around nice job...Frank

You did a great job on the outboard. Good that you are in the United States as you can get most parts at a good price. Not so great for parts and cost here in Canada. In addition, there is a great deal of accomplishment on fixing those older motors as well for sure.

I learned a long time ago that people don't take care of things ESPECIALLY BOATS AND BOAT MOTORS. And, it amazes me how they will spend thousands of dollars to buy them and then abuse them by being lazy and irresponsible. I love it when rich people throw stuff away!!!

Need parts ,complete Vintage motors New England area let me know.1950S-80S 2HP-40HP mostly OMCS.

Quick Checklist: #1 Visual for broken or missing obvious parts #2 Kill button wires for being frayed #3 Compression check 90lbs or better difference no more then 10lbs ideal check again after running will be better usually #4 Spark Check plug to ground bright blue spark ideal yellow not good(change plugs reccomended) #5 Check thermo and remove replace new if preferred #6 Inspect Gear oil drain or replace milky water intrusion bad seals possibly or fishing line stuck behind prop remove prop and inspect and or change oil #7 Check prop for bent blades or bad chips & # 8 Check fuel lines for stiffness and dry rotting

Shop vac, it will improve your life. Lol

Great video Glenn. Man! She was a crusty one but coming apart pretty well. Looking forward to seeing it come back to life. Good luck with the old girl Going to the other beauty. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

you absolutely have a specialty! If I break one more bolt Im done! lol Good luck with this one! Ive had ones no where near this bad that i failed on :(

Would,a spray with Diesel fuel help ?

Please...show respect... she deserves it !!!!

I love ❤️ it !!!!!

Glen u had the wrong cowling on thats why it was hard to start 😅Chris from OHIO gooooooo Buckeyes beat Michigan

Creepy crawly's R N there 4 sure. haha good job.

Best tool ever invented- vice grips! Interesting video.

Wow what a mess & Good Luck on this one. I have seen you do a few. Been following you for awhile now.I really enjoy your channel nobody does what you do.......regards Frank

Ooooh she's a crusty one for sure! Just a normal day at this office for you!

Rusty, crusty, mouse piss infested.... A normal day for you. You skipped over powerhead disassembly and went right to painting the block... Crank and good? Some of these 1956 models had a cheesy lower powerhead seal install of the traditional carbon seal setup which killed many powerheads slowly. The carbon seals came back in 1957. The 15s were nice running engines though and had smaller bores than the 18s, so less prone to sleeve separation. This SOB looks like a real fighter though, just wants to be "left alone to die completely".

THIS is going to be fun!!!

Need parts1950s-80s 2HP -40HP OMC Mostly I have a huge inventory of parts and complete old motors. E-mail me at [email protected]

Anchors away~!~!~!~!~!~ Heave ho-ho-ho~!~!~!~!~ Merry Chris Kringle chips ahoy chips oy vey!!!!! LOLOL~!~ Great video as always~!~!~!~!~

i want to replace without pulling the powerhead off.

I need to get my 9.9 Johnson running again.

Man a lot of work in to this one gave you a little trouble along the way but you stuck with it and brought it back to life. To bad that Chinese impeller would not make it pump must be just to soft of rubber or something. It's very cool how so many parts will interchange though out the years. I enjoyed the video great job as always. The Outboard king you are 😁 have a great rest of the week. Take care Glenn 👍🏻

She's just purrs right along 😁👍🏻

Yeah buddy!

Great video! Love that old 57 very nice 👍🏻

Need Parts I have alot and complete engines 2HP-40HP mostly Evinrude & Johnsons and some other off brands let me know

Cool song and some nice motors in that video. ...Frank

Pretty cool you brought it back from scrap pile to it's former glory. Nice job Glenn

also, are you using your phone to take video? if so, turn it sideways so you get rid of the black side bars on the final cut!

you really do all the repairs that i wouldn't GO NEAR@!! lol You're an artist! I see what your saying about the rubber in the impeller too. The one i used had REAL THICK veins! oh also is water bubbling out of the exhaust plate? on the top right. Love the thermostat advice!! F THEM!

These motors are so cool the styling, the mechanical simplicity of it and the way they run when dialed in properly truly amazing job you did. Thanks for you posting these videos I enjoy your attitude and reapir techniques..Frank

Only fourteen hours to do all that stuff! I would have spent 14hrs just pondering the repairs for the cover/latches

The old dog was sure a fighter...I hear ya, gotta just walk away sometimes. I dunno, raising that water level might have solved your pumping issue. I'm no fan of the chinese stuff for sure, but maybe it just couldn't get primed. And yeah, once the flywheel key gets sheared, tends to mess up the keyway and gall the crank tapers. I usually remove the key and lap the surfaces with some light compound. But, once the flywheel tapers have spread, you are done. Many guys over torque the damn things with the zip gun and end up with this issue. Your years at eastern served you well sir. Oh, the stories you could tell I'm sure.... OMC would still be in business today if that exact engine could still be produced. I would put one of these up against any four stroke for smoothness and idle quality. Idle quality went out the window in the early 70s on these engines when the plugged the overboard drains and added the crazy recirc system...

Need parts have huge inventory for mostly OMC 2hp-35HP 1950S-1980S.

So damn quiet and smooth. Take that you dumb ol four strokes

Sounds real good Wow im impressed...

Much less shaking with those modifed lower pan mounts. Check out my repair video on fixing lower pan mounts simple and easy.

i have the same engine with a pressure gas tank to keep it original. its 1959. I paid $125 over 15 yrs ago and it needed everything under the flywheel, plus water pump. rebuilt the carb, new needle and plastic float. it runs good now, after i retired Iwas able to spend the time it needed to repair it properly. its on a 14 foot alum skiff, we live up in maine. tons of salmon and brookie fishing up here.

An honorable idea indeed... But tough to make any money doing such an amazing job like you do.
