That is a nice running 55. That is going to be a fun one to run on the lake, can't wait to see it on the water

Hey. Thanks. Me too! Have a great holiday and a happy new year!

when I cut a barrel top off I just drilled a small hole to start the jigsaw blade

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hey. What's a drill? Hahaha. Beating it with a hot chisel is much more fun! Haha Thanks for tuning in! Happy Holidays !

@ 6:00 how many other folks yelled at their computer. Use a DRILL! ? As my wife says to me every time she sees me engaging in a questionable activity this year. "Its a bad time to go to the emergency room." ;-)

[@classiccat7403]

Bombproof motor. Nice idle! The advantage of the barrel is backpressure. You just can't run them too long b/c the water itself gets hot. Happy Holidays!

[@ct1762]

the choke lever is on top. simply pull it forward . its on a notch and a spring so it holds it in the manual position. and any idle adjustments and/or linkage adjustments you need to take off the throttle cable.

get you a big enough tote from walmart or dollar store and slip it under the prop , then slide 9 x 12 mason block or something to raise the bottom of tote high enough to reach the skeg and fill it up , thats what i use.

Yeah I have the biggest tote. It wasn't deep enough to cover the pump. Thanks for tuning in. Happy Holidays !

Yeah, goeing back to those ever heaver motors does show you are not getting wiser with age and .... we love you for it. Buy, borrow or steal a test wheel prop cause making adjustments on a motor pushing a boat at 35 mph is a quite hazardoud endeavour. Stay safe and be merry !

So the two lines on the throttle thing does that plastic piece need to be on top line or bottom line or between two lines?

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Hahaha! The two lines on the "throttle cam" are your low speed timing marks, that plastic piece, should be a roller, aka the "cam follower" needs to be between the timing marks just as the carburetors butterflies start to open. That will be $50 for this week's lesson. You can use my donation button to make the payment! Hahaha Thanks again & Stay Tuned !

I have a 79 35hp Evinrude, which hasn't run in 30 years. What do you recommend soaking the carburetor on?

[@ferraripower273]

Soaking in that is

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. I use the STP Complete Fuel System Cleaner mixed with a little brake cleaner, gas and 2 stroke oil to keep it from evaporating to fast. It's really the STP that does the trick. Check out my carb cleaning video, the 2 most important things! Somebody recently told me they use straight lacquer thinner which has the same chemicals as carb cleaner but stronger. Its probably whats in the STP. I've haven't tried it yet, but it might be the ticket! Thanks again & Stay tuned !

[@jdb549]

If its just the water splashing all over from using the muffs, why not just go back to the muffs but cut the barrel in a way to shield the spray from the muffs away from your feet and the driveway....cheers Sorry I meant like cut one whole side off, use the muffs and let the water just deflect back and flow away.

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Then it will overflow. Hahaha Happy Holidays ! Thanks for watching !

[@WV750ACE]

no more barrel running outboards ya can't lift in by your self. or get a bigger water tank and a bigger lift to handle the weight of the motor. or just mount it on the boat and test it in the lake. but then it would take all the fun out of it lol...you are having fun right?

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn6qanltoNhoeJI Here's my barrel run video I did over a year ago. Skip up to around 2.50 right to where I start showing the barrel. Mine runs good with the prop but for yours you could just remove the prop to keep from tearing the barrel up. For my small outboards I just keep the water in it and lift them on to run plus the rain always keeps the barrel full. The tap works great for the big motor to drain the barrel to remove it. It is quite running in a barrel rather than muffs plus you can run the rpm up in a barrel without heating up the motor. Watch it on motors that kick back in reverse with a prop on in a barrel or it will eat the barrel. My merc has a tilt trim so locks it down. Without the prop you won't loose water too. I need to direct the pee on mine back in the barrel. Good idea👍 Oh happy holidays buddy

[@THISOLDOUTBOARD1]

Hey. Yeah I forgot to pull the trim pin out so it was sitting high at the prop. looks good now but still not locked down, so maybe no more reverse. We'll see! Haha Thanks again & Happy Holidays !
