First Start After 16 Years! Will It Start?

[@charlescastle4332]

Man what a great find all it needed was an impellar.. looked mint....

[@williamaichinger2358]

If I was your next door neighbor I would pay you just to let me watch you work LOL

[@retrocny5625]

Very nice. Stored indoors for 16 years and all it needed was a new impeller. Frankly I'm surprised the impeller fins were still intact. After all that time, you'd think they'd dry rot, crack and even break off. I had that happen to me actually. Boat sat for the winter, impeller started to get dry rotted without me knowing it....and I took it out the following season and the impeller got mangled after one trip. Overheat alarm came on during the 2nd trip out, took the boat in, looked at the impeller and water tube, and saw the impeller was missing two of it's fins lol. It was a eureka moment to be sure. To be fair, I should've checked the impeller before I even took the boat out, but I had started the motor on the muffs after changing the fluids, and I had water flow from the tell-tale so I figured it was good enough to test on the water. Lesson learned. Check the water pump/impeller often because you can still get water from the tell-tale on a completely ruined impeller...it'll just be wimpy stream. I love the old Johnson outboards. I had a Johnson 20HP that ran like a champ on a small jon boat for a number of years before I got into something bigger and bought a Mercury EFI.

Wow That's amazing.. One time my friend Purchased a outboard That was owned by a guy with dementia here in Australia and Was still in the Box! was a weird one in was a air Cold was Yamaha 20 or 25 The thing is rare as In Great condition

[@johnkaveski7953]

[@musicmanthatlikesoldandnew7324]

I hope u haven’t sold that amazing motor

[@beryean1366]

That engine sounds crispy good

[@ErikISkogen]

Really good videos dude! Not to many young people gets into mechanics with this mutch curiosity/eager👌 What does your neighbours think about the engine sound all the time?

[@chrisniederhelman4986]

I lovem heading the eginge all the time it don’t bother me I use to be just like him back in my day just to know he has another engine going

[@TheFritz423]

Meh. I haven't run in 20 years.

[@yung_lemon6314]

The real question is can you “start” now? 😂😂😂🤣

[@tristanmccauleyuyhjhygfvhj4384]

man you have a nice collection of boat bits, I love boats.

[@florintancu9352]

Very good nd strong engine...i had one exactly like this one...i was very content to have it...

[@randybrock6550]

I had a 30 johnson that would not pump with muffs. Asked mechanic how much for pump job. He said try putting it in a barrel and try. Pumped great and never had anymore problems. Why not on muffs, I'll never know

[@hstetser5376]

Your videos are awesome

[@jacobhedrick1932]

Wow that is cool!

[@RichieRouge206]

Good old Johnson!

[@jasonmathews4276]

I'm new to all of this. I just put muffs on 1995 Evinrude 30 HP and ran it. Then I got the buzzer telling me that it was heating up. I shut it down pretty fast after that. Then I noticed water wasn't coming out of the top end of the motor. I turn the throttle pretty good to show my brother before the buzzer came on.. what if any damage do you think I just caused.

[@baggedwater4314]

I know it’s been 2 years but your problem was just Probly the water line clogged. Can stick a clothes hanger in it to get it unclogged

[@benb7727]

I have the exact same motor. Eh...not as good condition but still a good runner. How much are you selling it for?

[@BlueChannelShaniel]

Very nicee

[@FirstLast-ml7yf]

Check your seals in the lower unit...should be no water in the gearcase after running it for a while...o-rings go bad with time - don't seal any more...

[@sarge6870]

Wow...can't see how those impeller fins were so bent after only one use.

[@adiboo8142]

Well wouldn't they have been stuck in that bent position for those 16 years?

[@davesmith2733]

They are bent back in the housing and take that shape .I like to put new impeller at the start of each season .don't cost much and get a good flow all year

[@Domnaek]

Zajebisty silnik! What are the usual cíntervalls on changing the impeller?

[@travelingwithrick]

Probably none.

[@newyota1]

How long can you run the motor with it not pumping without damaging the motor?I was doing a tune-up and water was being pumped and as I adjusted the idle I saw the water no longer being pumped and was not sure for how long?May have been a few minutes.The engine was pretty hot .Since then have put in new impeller and now pumping water.

[@champ_2233]

it has to run pretty long and get pretty hot before it will do damage to the engine BUT if it does get too hot it can warp the cylinder head and cause a blown head gasket or even worse a cracked head but in your case if it only ran a few minuets without water i would rest assured there is no permanent damage, but if you notice your motor being weaker or not as much power as it used to have try picking up a cheap compression tester and checking each cylinder for good compression, there are plenty of good videos on how to use one, if one cylinder has bad compression its a good idea to bring it to the shop and have an expert look at it

[@scotthowell1690]

Seems to me the impeller would'nt be damage after only being ran one time??

[@eternalthread7846]

Impeller like water it keeps them from deteriorating fast

[@prevost8686]

I bet it sold quickly.

[@selenevolmer1888]

Don't forget thermostat

[@dentbumper]

only in americo you can see things hapening like that whuau

[@MrEzplay]

How much did you paid for it? Thanks

[@travisbaetz8173]

Any tips for a 1988 9.9 4 stroke yamaha that's not getting spark?

[@travisbaetz8173]

After some more tinkering, found out it's the carb, not adjusted right, doesn't idle, apparently those mid-late 80s Yamaha's had a wonky carb, basically have to cover air intake with hand, Yamaha tried an automatic choke that didn't work so well.

[@williamriley2528]

I think you need a workbench... and a lower unit stand...

[@exitar1]

Sad no more Evinrude / Johnson

[@travelingwithrick]

The OMC motor. The motor Yamaha and others copied to make theirs.

[@hunter_0867]

That impeller should of still pumped water

[@MrEzplay]

Where Did you find it?

[@AGuyFromHazard]

Where's the best place to buy outboard parts?

[@ThatBoatGuy]

I use boats.net

[@MrEzplay]

Do you live in florida?

[@yvanfayolle4319]

Iam after a late model Yamaha 70 hp 4 stroke can you help

[@niklasalmaas6369]

Yvan Fayolle 2 stroke is the way to go my guy

[@BluefieldsFisherman]

How much are you asking for?

[@ThatBoatGuy]

Bluefields Fishing 2800

[@edvardlundvold878]

Is it 1% oil in the fuel to that motor?

[@ct1762]

pint to 6 gallons or 50:!

[@stevekenney8656]

50:1 is 2% oil

[@lucatimer1234]

My 40hp Johnson build in 1972( and NEVER used) started at first stroke. Tale a look on my channel and see!! And excuse my terrible english, i'm italian!!! Ciao.

[@-mike--m-9629]

Ha... That's it just keep on taking them apart in the grass and drop that little key that holds the impeller on 🙄

[@Y0B0YCHRIS]

You realize most new impellers come with a key right? And your not supposed to reuse the old key

[@outboardfixer]

You gotta wait til the thermostat opend

[@craigd5169]

Mark Weaver these motors dont work that way, johnson tell tales dont run off the tstats they come directly out of the water jacket

[@craigd5169]

It should piss water almost instantly upon start up

[@dieselmann34]

Is it for sale, if so how much

[@ThatBoatGuy]

Joe Bartus 2800

[@BRAB00N]

would you do a trade and cash

[@masterful7574]

Skeg not skag Cowl not hood Electric not uhlectric Water not wahder

[@corbysherman4710]
