Great stuff keep them coming

[@evinrudej]

RMD is back yay! Love that hood lookin good

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Thanks, and thank you for watching

[@kenaidog6974]

I have exact engine and it runs like a top. These are great Evinrude!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Great to hear!

[@mikedurhan9941]

Those early 35's are strong; talk about a "boy dog", they are that. You did a wonderful job, Michael. And very educational. I don't know who passed gas at 23:53, but it was a jack-whopper. Yes, it is normal for some water to come out the two top holes. Temp on the thermostat cover at warmed up idle should be right at 140 degrees. Next time you remove the starter to get the carb off one of these models you might consider leaving all the wiring hooked up. Then you can lean the starter over the port side of the lower motor cover and the wiring will hold it. It saves time and trouble - and does no harm to anything. Thanks again for another great video.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Funny that was my son imitating the motor. Believe it or not I have to take the carb back off and you will see why in the next video. I will follow your advice. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@mikedurhan9941]

@@Michaelsbackyardmarina Thank heavens that was your son imitating the motor! (Funny.) Take care. Love your videos above all the others.

[@Thewrightstuff777]

I can hardly wait to see it running on the lake!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

My plan is to have it on the lake this Saturday in the early am and post the video that evening.

[@stevanrose7439]

That’s kool glad you got it running. Let’s go fishing 🎣

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

For sure!!

[@seansimons7043]

Can’t wait to see the test.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

It should be fun

[@benmatulewicz3273]

Hey! Great stuff love the channel! You have done alot for me when it comes to the awsome OMC collections. Helpful parts knowledge. That coolant hose is nothing more than automotive vacuum hose made by 1/32 of an inch. Its easier than ordering online, or looking for parts numbers. I worked on a 25 HP and replaced the coolant by the carb like yours. 5/32 vacuum hose fits like a glove and is dirt cheap at any auto store. You and the vids are awesome !!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

You are correct. I just purchase a length of hose from my local Napa store. Thanks for watching.

[@shotslife]

Great prop info!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Glad you like it!

Thanks for posting.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

You're welcome

[@darrylmcleman6456]

Good Stuff! I purchased Honda 50 (used ) last year and after 5 trips (5 hrs. use) I noticed wobble in prop shaft when turning by hand.I took it to marine repair shop where they determined the outer carrier bearing was not installed. Amazing that thing got me back in when a storm came up suddenly.It was a little bit hard to come up with the new bearing during Covid times but we are up and running right again.Parts temporarily scarce here in Western Canada. CHEERS

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Thanks for sharing

[@alcheckalski9716]

I have a 1978 Johnson 35hp that came with a 10.5 X 11 SST prop and worked very well on my old 16' 76 Sylvan. Hub spun out after 40+ yrs and was replaced with the Solas 10.5 X 11. (2211-105-11).

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I may need to drop down one more prop size myself.

[@seriksson9721]

After 23 min, can't hear you. But in general a very good program. Thanks

[@leesmith5419]

Can’t wait for the next video

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Coming this weekend if all goes well.

[@craftsmandude8916]

The carb float was installed upside down

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Holy smokes I did. Great catch. Ok if I mention you in my next Video?

[@TheNockingPoint]

Hello Michael, On my 20Hp Johnson the second little clip ( Bearing Clamp PN 0320523) goes behind the vertical linkage shaft. (Control lever) 0320523. I did the same thing on my engine a couple of weeks ago when rebuilding the carb. But I had the powerhead off a couple of years ago so I know there was no way that little clamp was there before. very respectively. Jeff

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Good to know. I will make that correction. Thanks for watching.

[@64samsky]

Sweet!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Thanks!

[@richardcranium5839]

one can do the math on theoretical boat speed. engine max rpm x gear ratio= prop speed in rpm. prop rpm x 60 = inches per hour. iph divided by 63,360 = mph. of course this is theoretical and the outcome id dependant on slip. but i'm sure you dont care as ong as it works lol. i'd say you got the filming down looks good!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I have played around with those numbers as well. Hull shape and weight play a big part as you well know. Thanks for noticing the filming. Much appreciated. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@EMERYE77]

She is running good now. A coat of paint and she will look brand new.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I may have to treat it to a coat of paint if it keeps running well.

[@user-of7wz2vv6d]

Super!👍🇺🇦

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@wish2fish37]

I know repitching changed my rpms on my Johnson. Was running at 6000 and repitched from 11 to 13 and it brought it down to 5300

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

It will make a pretty good change.

[@TheNockingPoint]

A little aviation Permatex on the starter bolt should keep it in place. :-) (my dad was an airplane mechanic for 35 years) Is that something you use in your shop? I would be interested in your thoughts about, Antisies, thread lockers, and other items you keep on hand. I was shocked the first time I started looking up the goops and lubes that the manufacture recommends for outboard engines.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Since I'm not around saltwater I only use a little anti seize on bolts that potentially could be problematic. I rarely put anything on gaskets. I usually let the gasket do the job it was designed for. Thanks again for watching

[@cptnbillyjohnstone510]

Great help. I have an '85 20 hp Evinrude that is very hard to pull. You have any experience with that situation or have any tips. Thanks, Bill

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

if it is too hard to pull then some of the carb timing and adjustment may be off a bit.

[@mohamedmejd3062]

Hey fox, I have just discovered your videos which are very interesting, because I am a recreational fisherman and often we are confronted with the problems of the engines out and as luck would have it I own a 9.9 Johnson for a 5m boat and I find that it is little as a motor. I have some part in one of your videos since you turned a 9.9 Johnson into a 15hp do you want friend explain to me what to do, thank you bro.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

check out this link www.leeroysramblings.com/

[@TPaolozzi]

great video michael i currently have an evinrude 30904emotor which isnt running at the moment and theres a small pipe missing on the motor behind where the carb bolts to, where does this pipe go to i cant see anywhere it can go?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Check out the schematics on marineengine.com

[@TPaolozzi]

many thanks for the info.

[@seawalkersee]

Can you give me the part number for the carb kit? And the idle screw in mine was all the way in. Did you start with yours at 2 1/2 turns out or is there something better?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

1 1/2 turns and look it up on marineengine.com

[@pedrobarrios2203]

Hi Mike! Another great video. Thx. Have you had a chance to do cover bracket design? I sent you an email recently.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I have your information and I will get on it pretty quick here. Thanks for the email. I will email you when I have it ready for your review.

[@timperkins2622]

What have you been doing to the boat with a cabin on it

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Waiting on parts at first. Now I have all my parts to put the motor back together.

[@jimboo1026]

What’s the best technique to clean the gasket surface of the carb without getting a bunch of shavings inside the clean carb?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I just used a soft wire wheel and blew it out with an air hose afterwards. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@learnaswegofarm2227]

Hey Mike, i watched one of your videos and you got on your computer and went to some website for boat info. What is that website? Any help would be appreciated thank you.

[@learnaswegofarm2227]

Thank you very much just discovered your channel and have been binging episodes right and left lol. Great info and content. Thank you for your knowledge, its huge help!!!

[@kingbernad7345]

Solas props are the best. Their aluminum props are squeeze casted so they are much more dense than the OEM props. I used to sell them as a distributor. We essentially replace the pitch of the prop to keep the engine in the recommended operating rpm band. So if your engine is suppose to be running between 5300-6000 rpm and you are running 6200rpm on a 19” prop then you are over revving. To get into that 5300-6000 rpm band you would need to pitch up to a 21” pitch which would drop you to around 6000rpm. A change in pitch of 2” will bring your rpm up or down by around 200-300 revs.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

That has been my experience as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@2stroker183]

Hola qué porcentaje de aceite le hechas

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

50:1 ratio
