I pulled on my 61-year-old Johnson last night and it worked perfectly

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Cool.

[@jimmyhoffa7935]

I pulled on my Johnson yesterday for 1st time since last year in July. She fired 2nd pull. Purred like a kitty all day & spit me out 4 juvenile walleye🎣

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hahaha! I knew that title would be good for some laffs! Thanks again !

[@RodneyTurner-l7u]

I have had nothing but troubles out of omc motors over the years hope you have better luck on your outboard

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. I've had pretty good luck over the years but every once in a while I get a dud! Thanks again & Stay tuned !

[@raycasson1774]

What a nice neighbor to pull your Johnson for you..😂

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hahaha LMFAO! Thanks Again !

I'm just starting to work on my Johnson 40E 71B having a hard time finding specific gasket/carb kits would you be able to tell me what year kits are interchangeable? I've watched alot of your videos alot of great knowledge I'm learning boatloads lol

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hey. Thanks for tuning in! If you can't find what you need here- search the part number- probably find it on ebay. Thanks again ! www.marineengine.com/parts/johnson-evinrude-parts.php?year=1971&hp=40&model=40E71B&manufacturer=Johnson&section=CARBURETOR

[@TheSteelworker]

You’ll figure something out I’m sure…good video 👍

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@alberthafner2194]

Hey I may have missed it, but is the starter pulley timed correctly? The elipticle shape makes quite a difference in pull effort if the marks are aligned.

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yeah the pull starter is fine with the plugs out, the spring could use a little tightening. Thanks again !

[@jasonmoore5685]

Just don't give up

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Never!

[@randymiller1604]

Check the model number you might have a 25 hp and the recoil spring for a 40 hp will fit in that starter and it’s twice as thick also the starter where the rope rewinds is oblong and needs to line up with the marks on the pulley

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hey. No it's a 20. The spring is crap and not wound tight enough . I think it my have been broken at some point then reused. I'll tear it apart and redo it. Thanks again !

[@OutBoardTink62]

I seen those Chinese starters on E-bay try one I thought about it myself.Some of Marinengines stuff is priced ridicuouly other parts cheap go figure.Check the piston rings for being stuck out pull the intake bypass covers and see if they move in and out with a blunt tool......they have to flex minutely for proper compression and release...........Sorry I couldnt resist commenting its in my blood,LOL!

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Yeah their up to $50 now. Anyway spoiler alert here. Took the cover off yesterday when Capt Ron was here, he was suppose to bring his drill to turn this motor but forgot it, anyway rings/piston looked brand new, yes they move with a blunt tool, you must be psychic! now don't tell anyone about the rings, its a secret for the next episode. Hahaha! My big harbor freight drill doesn't have enough guts to turn a 20/25 with the plugs in. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

[@OutBoardTink62]

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Ha!Ha! I bought one of those old big 1/2 chuck drills on Facebook recently $15 Thor works great turning over motors.Havent tried it on a 25HP yet ,LOLL! will see been off the outboards somewhat for a Winter break , weather still shitty here.. sun burned out it seems weeks of cloudy ,cool weather...crazy LOL!

[@mikedurhan9941]

AlbertHalfner2194 is correct (in his comment below). If you have not already done so, make sure your rope starter is timed properly - the rope pulley in the recoil starter being elliptical. Oft times someone will replace the rope and have no clue that it should be timed in such a way that you gain torque during the compression pull due to the elliptical shape of the rope pulley.

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hey. Yeah, never checked it out good, just assumed it was ok. Definitely not wound enough. Thanks again !

[@VernonTate-y1i]

Are you telling me that those starter brackets go for 3 to 400 bucks I got like 3 of those on extra 1956 30hp Johnsons And a 1962 18hp Johnson with one on it I got for like 40 bucks parts motor

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hey. Not sure about the 50's models you'll have to check on that. This bracket fits the late 6o's through 76 I think it is. Crazy but they're so rare now. Thanks again !

[@VernonTate-y1i]

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 I got a 18hp one 1962 with working starter looks the same but I am not getting rid of them anyway see you in the next one

[@Guns_N_Gears]

I just saw 1 on Feepay for 125. Better off buying a parts motor locally for 100

Make sure lower unit is at fault.I have some outboard motor for free if you want them

Hey. I haven't put the gearcase on yet. Free! I luv freebies! Hahaha. Let me know what you have so I can make enough room in the van. I'll pick them up when evers good for you. Thanks !

Hey John. I'm still interested in the free outboards! LMK! Thanks

Like anything electromechanical, if it sits unused for awhile, it don't want to work.

Yeah, its Nuckin Futs! Thanks again !
