1971 Johnson Evinrude 9.5 horsepower outboard lives again, repair, restore. Me and my Johnson

[@DoodMang7]

That Johnson commercial is hilarious 🤣

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

Adding the Rock to the commercial was perfect!

[@bruceaplin]

Loved your battery powered electric starter. That pin you didn't want to drop looked like a shear pin. My dad worked on saltwater outboard motors for a living. He was very good at it. Once a guy gave my dad a 25 HP outboard he found scuba diving. It was one big chunk of corrosion. Dad fixed that old motor up and I learned to water ski behind it. Back to the shear pin. Before I was born, my dad and his uncle went fishing in a river. They hit a submerged log and sheared the pin. No problem says dad, I have a spare shear pin in my tackle box. They cock the motor up, remove the carter pin, the nut and the prop. Uncle accidentally knocks all the parts overboard. Now the situation is much worse. Uncle says "I'll get them" He takes his shoes off and goes over the side. The river is about 5 feed deep and very muddy. He walks around on the river bottom and says, I found something, dad thinks it MIGHT be the prop. Uncle retrieves the carter pin, after walking around some more and "feeling" with his bare feet, he recovers the nut, the broken shear pin AND the prop. Dad reassembles the parts, cranks the motor and off they up upstream back to the boat launch. 💛

Damn. Good story

[@RatdogDRB]

Love it when those oldies fire right up after a little TLC applied to 'em. Good score.

[@MotoCheez]

The run FOREVER!

[@hendrikg3616]

My dad has one of these marked "Evinrude Sportwin" light blue in his basement for well over 30 years. We call it grandpa because it's so old. Can remember it running only once in that time. Gonna order a new water pump and spark plugs for it because I need a boat and a motor, because needlefish season at the Baltic Sea is going on now and the big fishing boat has broken down and replacement parts are coming from the US. Wish me luck :)

[@MotoCheez]

Good luck!

[@sullybiker6520]

Whenever I see a Motocheez outboard vid I will now just shout "It's the impeller" :) My dad's old Zodiac had a 25hp Johnson on it. A lot of fun times in that little boat. My first experience of the ocean in fact.

[@MotoCheez]

Haha. Sweet! Small boats are always the most fun. I've had many big boats and the small ones with small outboards end up the cheapest and most reliable.

[@wendellholmes523]

Great little motors. Two things I noticed was that it was really dumb to pull the shift rod pin to drain the oil, the oil drain is a big flat head screw on the other side near the bottom. Also the water pumps are not self priming, they must be under water.

[@MotoCheez]

The drain is the right screw I took out. As far as I know. The shift pun has a long pun at the end, this didn't. I do realize now the pump must be totally under water....

[@justinmcroberts4633]

When you busted out the shop-vac, I was waiting for the Spaceballs clip “suck. Suck. Suck. Suck…” Great videos. I can’t wait for test run of the Rock Johnson.

[@MotoCheez]

That would have been good!

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

That's quite the Johnson you got there, Cheesy. :^)

[@MotoCheez]

Why thank you!

[@whitecompany18]

I love outboard vids, I'm a big big fan of 'thatboatguy ' in Florida how he gets allsorts at auction and fixes them up then takes them all out for a rip... Maan Florida looks beautiful 😍

[@MotoCheez]

I'll take one of these motors down to my place in FL

[@DarksideSleemo]

Thanks to you, I now have a new channel to obsess over.

[@MotoCheez]

👍👍👍🧀

[@tkskagen]

Outboard Engines are like Chainsaws, simple, but what a pain!

[@MotoCheez]

Truth

[@loganholmberg2295]

My Dad always put Johnson motors on his boats because to him they were dependable and they always started first pull. In my experience, that wasn't always true but for him it was. 😅 He was really disappointed when he found out you could get Johnson's anymore.

[@leodanryan966]

Me and my Johnson are having a party later 🤪, I love it when a plan comes together.

[@MotoCheez]

😁

[@ct1762]

the intake is BELOW that metal plate. the plate is for reverse flow

[@guy48065]

To add more detail--the water intake is the 2 screened ribs below the exhaust outlet. The prop pushes water towards the screens. The little plate above the cavitation plate is for cooling water flow when in reverse gear. Nobody has ever explained why the 4 tiny intake ports are facing forward, tho...lol

[@ct1762]

@@guy48065 right. I believe the screen acts like a scoop to push water up into the pump from below. the intake ports face towards the bow to scoop water at high speed, or do you mean something else?

[@MotoCheez]

We talking about the water inlet for the impellor? It's designed to scoop the water as it's driving forward, reverse there isn't enough speed or force to stop the suction.

[@mikeizzano172]

Motor was pretty clean inside for an old girl…should go for a long time , nice job Moto. !

[@kalleklp7291]

Yeah, cork is common in the engines they made back then. Bending it ever so slightly upwards helps as the needle valve can be stuck when it has stood around for a while.

[@grandmackdady]

they don't do the amazon vans where i'm at. i see them all the time but they use ups for where i live

Mr Cheez the food teaser at the end just makes me hungry and I'm fat enough, but keep up the good work always enjoy the repair video's need to feed my brain more then my stomach.

[@MotoCheez]

Haha me too!

[@tugdrivinj]

I had one of them when I was a kid. I got it used from a rental fleet near my house, used it a long time on a 12' tin boat from Sears. It had like a shift point in it something I haven't seen before or since in an outboard.

[@dickjames5007]

What do you mean shift point I have 71 evinrude 9.5 just super curious what you mean. Just to shift from f n r. Or kinda like an extra gear

[@tugdrivinj]

@@dickjames5007 it may have just had a problem. But yeah, it seemed like it had an extra gear. It would kind of wind up a little right about at planing speed then lock up and scoot.

[@MotoCheez]

maybe the hub was slipping? or prop cavitating?

[@tugdrivinj]

@@MotoCheez it might have been something slipping, it didn't feel like any kind of cavitation or ventilation I've ever come across. My 12ish year old brain just thought that's how it was supposed to be. I just thought I had a 2 speed outboard!! 🤣

[@MotoCheez]

i bet the hub was slipping on the prop i had a proontgat did that

[@curtisbrowning4682]

[@MrNicebuttrue]

You crack me up. Keep going

[@blbeach]

Another nice video cheesy! You did the right way of troubleshooting it from top to bottom. Did you check the sacrificial anode? If it fell off which they do it would explain all that corrosion. Without it the engine itself just falls apart. The old omc's are pretty good running engines. I had a 25 hp 82 that's still running today. I put the OMC on your boat and use the force as an anchor.🤣 There are two different sized transoms for every OMC motor.. cavitation plare should be underwater and should have the anode on it.

[@MotoCheez]

It's still good. Must have been fresh water

[@blbeach]

@@MotoCheez make sure there's good contact between the anode and the body of the motor. I used to take mine off every spring and sand it down toa bare metal

[@MotoCheez]

Good idea.

Sorta surprised you didn't order the stainless bolts on Amazon as well (Or are they just taking longer to get there from Amazon?). I got a few assortments of common sizes around.. Just used some of the metric ones on the Grill yesterday. and for anything else I order the specific sizes.

[@MotoCheez]

I did order them off Amazon.

[@moetop]

@@MotoCheez Must just be taking longer than the water impeller. Just seemed weird. Saw you with the impeller and then no new bolts.

[@MotoCheez]

I ordered impeller when I started on the motor. Couldn't find the right size on Amazon either.

[@Seabassin]

Hey I need some help! I can’t figure out how to find/replace the prop hub in this same motor. The engine runs fine but it’ll rev high and get no torque at certain RPMs

[@MotoCheez]

Ebay was the only place I saw parts. You think the hub is slipping?

[@Seabassin]

@@MotoCheez pretty positive, saw online that a bad hub equates to random high rpm’s and no torque. Had to run it super slow all the way back to the ramp or else it would lose all thrust

[@MotoCheez]

That's all part of the prop I thought. The hub protects the gearcase from breaking. Trying to remember what prop this gad.

[@MotoCheez]

I just looked on mine and it looks like that unit does not have a slip hub on the propeller, it's a pin

[@Seabassin]

@@MotoCheez ah that helps a ton, how do I go about replacing it?

[@richardwells1470]

when you use the drill to turn the engine over is it set to hammer drill or just normal? Thanks
