Compression Test on 1962-3hp Johnson Outboard Part 2/2

[@ncrdisabled]

That is a nice old engine I was born in 1961 and I had one like that back when I was in the NAVY in south Carolina it was used on a 12 foot boat . I also seen one for sale at a yard for 30 .00 and it was running but not as good as yours . I would ask $50.00 for it . Keep up the great videos!!!

Yeah buddy, nice job, those old 3hps take a beating and still run sweet...

[@StagArmslower]

I had low compression 15hp Chrysler. I socked the top of the pistons with carburetor cleaner mixed with the fogging oil with the cylinder head off. At first I could move the pistons sideways in the cylinders. After few days the movement disappeared. I kept the engine in horizontal position covered with the head to slow down evaporation. I moved the pistons in all direction to release the rings in the grooves twice a day for few days. I was waiting for new head gasket so I had time. After installing the head gasket engine fired just on carb cleaner. I will test it when gets warmer on gas/oil mix

[@donyboy73]

@canadaeast yes 2 stroke and 2 cylinders

[@danielrobert7181]

OK, I'm a bit late and it makes a very marginal difference but just for the record, Don, that motor is a 1965 model. Regards.

[@MattsRageFitGarage]

Runs good, and I'm superised that you can still buy parts for them.

[@fleetwin1]

KEWL! It's pretty tough to kill these old engines.....I'm glad you just soaked it and didn't disassemble it...Wonder if the compression readings changed much...

[@thomasstuart6861]

You can not get the needle bearings. However, the needles are standard size drill rod which is almost the same metal. Very careful with some diamond might get it done.

[@More350Power]

That is an awesome engine, wouldnt mind having one myself!

[@donyboy73]

@classicoutboards i will be posting a vid of a tn-26, just wondering where to get the prop bushing cause it leaks when stored

[@Slane583]

Nice little motor. Makes me wish you lived closer to me, and that I had the money. I'd bring my 40hp Evinrude to you.

[@donyboy73]

yes I took the head off to get rust off, used a wire brush

[@Slane583]

@donyboy73 That and I don't have the money to see if it runs. I took the cowling off a few weeks ago and turned the flywheel over by hand to see if the pistons were free. They moved just fine and it felt like it had tons of compression in it.

[@DatBlueHusky]

@donyboy73 around $250 and if you get it clean and look like new its around $400 i have a 2hp version and its worth $350

[@pilotsmoe]

That motor is a 1965. The 1962 had 2 needles and the skinny exhaust leg

[@kennyzielke7571]

I have one just like it. Nice job!

[@donyboy73]

about 70 psi, but these run good with that

[@littlechihahua]

Thanks for the quick reply I also am not getting spark should I get new points and condenser kit

[@danielsvensson356]

Runs nice! Good video.

[@jeremybert5440]

Mine has 50 and 60 lbs , what did you do to get compression back up?

[@donyboy73]

@snaponjohn100 soaked it with massive amounts of penetrating oil and after it ran it just ran better and better

[@andrewasbill3690]

what did you do exactly to bring the compression up? did you let some cleaner soak in the cylinders and it loosened the rings?

[@outboardfixer]

You have to open the VENT screw on the gas tank cover to let air in.

[@IPCZX]

cool pretty good when you get cool stuff still got awesome vids

[@boat6868]

Runs nice. How much effort was it to get it running...what did you need to do?

[@737700boeing]

Thanks! Also did you have to change the rings??? How did you solve the compression problem??? Im not getting fuel from the carburetor to the cylinders - any suggestions??? Thanks for your help!

[@donyboy73]

@30GB how much do u think it's worth, i am selling it, my dad didn't need it

[@737700boeing]

What was the final amount of pressure in the cylinders after you cleaned the rust out???

[@donyboy73]

yesand maybe coils

[@littlechihahua]

Thanks alot I'm gonna try it out

[@donyboy73]

@adrienj67 i think ur honda would have as much if not more power

[@trouperpooper8842]

whats the spark plugs you have on it? im trying to repair one ive got and need some.

[@WillsGarage91]

other parts still available include: water pump impellers, head gaskets and carb kits

[@littlechihahua]

I just got 2 of these motors did u take the piston out to clean the rust and how ?

[@MattTZew]

What did you get the compression up to?? Thanks-Matt

[@Buckshot1123]

I got one just like tis that I'm thinking about working on soon it will fire up for a few seconds every couple pulls but I need to fix the starter now because it is not working right

[@snaponjohn100]

Cool!! How did u get it running?

[@MegaZombieland1234]

please if someone knows when did jonhson outboard stop making outboards and what was their outboard with most power

[@DatBlueHusky]

you are lucky to get that rare engine for free

[@mumbles552]

That motor is newer than you think. Model JW-20 would make it 1965.

[@bawnsh]

Do you want to help me fix my outboard?

[@sergioberardi3758]

I have one bot as soon I open the gas valve and the air vent it leaks.

[@donyboy73]

@Slane583 looks like ur a bit far

[@Genners111]

They could have always swapped the carbie -- like I did to my 1966 Johnson when I put a carb on it from an older 1960 with 2 needles on it. Check my vid on my channel to see what I mean.

[@rickybeann]

could you sell me to brazil
