How to disassemble totally OMC Evinrude 4 HP outboard motor

How to disassemble totally OMC Evinrude, Jonson 4 HP outboard motor. Propeller, axle, camchaft, cranshaft, piston and all other parts.

[@billvickers5534]

That was a one way trip for that outboard. His non directed approach will never get it back together... ever!

[@eg8475]

This is a good example of playing mechanic under the influence.

[@crpth1]

Not the most advanced techniques or tools, but thumbs up anyway. ;-) I just got one of this outboard motors yesterday. No service manual or specs. Learned a lot about the internals of this motors from your video. Thanks for sharing.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thank YOu. :-)

[@crpth1]

Torn my outboard apart to clean/fix, etc. It's amazingly good BTW. But one word of advise for any trying the same stunt. Bring some flowers to your wife, after using the dishwasher to clean outboard parts... It's a good marriage test. :-) LOL

[@ike7539]

crpth1 I do the same... all started with using the oven cleaner foam from a dollar store.

[@invertedL]

very useful to see some of those disassembly steps. thanks for posting

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rtodd279]

Thanks for sharing this video. It was quite useful to see some of those disassembly steps.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Richard T Thank You.

[@gmannfram8682]

There is a difference between a SOCKET and a WRENCH lol He seems so amazed and confused at the same time. I thank you for the tear down, Maybe next time you should tear it all down using a vise, put it all back together then film it again {Just so you know} Thanks :)

[@hjelm84]

hello there.. what year is this motor from?? and do you remember the partnumber on the ignition coil??

[@allensnook7760]

Yup totally broke down the whole thing,seeing those rod cap bearings floating around the block and seeing the burned side on last to remove piston tells me all i need to know it was junk to begin with!!still kinda cool to see complete tear down,course piston and crank could have been fixed or replaced and motor still salvaged but that wasnt the title.it wasnt a rebuild more or less autopsy, that was cool to see even that small a block had freeze plug in its side.💥👍👍👍🤪💥

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

I have read your message, Thank you 😀👍

[@marcoflores322]

Hola amigo y faltaria el harmado del motor porfavor tengo uno de esos mismo y tengo k armarlo

[@gwhite0992]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

You're welcome!

[@brianeads9376]

I think you made this video so you could put it back together, or perhaps you just needed a part from it?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

👍

[@Pescacraftstephen]

Love your videos. Have been very helpful. I think I have seen all the relevant vids on the morots I have. Do you know if can I put a complete powerhead from 1976 Johnson 4 HP (4R76M) on a 1978 model (4806E)?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for comment

[@jjj3501]

Wow! He is going to need a lot of crazy glue and duck tape to put that motor back together again! :-)

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi, Thanks for comment. :-)

[@jjj3501]

@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor Hello Peter, Do you intend to reassemble the engine or was it for parts only? I'm working on a 1972 Evinrude 4hp similar to yours but waiting for gaskets to arrive. Can't wait to see how it runs.

[@cjthefishermanoutdoors9366]

I like seeing these vids of motors being torn apart, but dang. Have u ever dissasembled a motor before? Cause they way u do some of these things is way wrong and could damage the parts worse.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks, your comment. :-)

[@mikecarnivale7304]

So the water tube goes from the pump up the shaft and just terminates against the side of that housing? How does the water return back down and blow out the exhaust? The reason I'm asking is I'm trying to make sure it's pumping water so I don't burn out the motor.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes.

[@d1991d1991]

I have the same question now, can you see with this engine if the water pump is working when you are on the water? I don't think so right??? I think the water comes right down trough the shaft and goes out at the bottem so not at the top as with most outboard engines???

[@SB-ej8yz]

I like to see how you put it back after this mess

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Great !

[@danielcartis9011]

Lol at everyone commenting on this video about the brutality of the tear down. It's not intended to go back together so who cares?! Those of us who have a vested interest about the internal workings of an outboard were thoroughly entertained. As for myself, I learned a lot looking at how the components interact with each other. Thanks for posting!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hello 😃, I have read your comment and I appreciate it. Thanks. 👍

[@SB-ej8yz]

yes, but if the disassembly had been done in order, we would have learned better and more

[@terryobrien9335]

I enjoyed this video. Who was the fellow doing the job? His accent was pleasant and I was wondering where he was from or where this video was filmed. The crow cawing was a nice touch, as were the songbirds too. I'll check out more of your videos. Thanks, Terry

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Terry O'Brien Thank You for comments.

[@IslanderSailboatInfo]

+Peter Finn +Terry O'Brien I agree! The bird calls were a really nice background to this video, quite relaxing :)

[@antti1325]

Peter Finn are you from Finland?

[@SoundzAlive1]

He sounds like he has a Hungarian accent to me but it says he is from Finland in his info.

[@kultainenananas]

@@SoundzAlive1 Interesting. Makes sense though, the languages are (distantly) related.

[@ianhodges1657]

Thanks for the video it is useful but the outboard was in general good condition why not just fix it.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Good point!

[@racetrucks10]

Dam wanted too see if I could buy parts

[@jeffhawkins4419]

And this part open.....would like to see it closed now?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Good comment and Let's All folk discuss more 👍😀

[@technochicken7550]

Can you put it back to together?

[@germanborgesxrt]

wait little bit more

[@buttcrackification]

Any day now

[@robertpayton3795]

keep on with it.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

+robert payton Hi and many Thanks for feedback. :-)

[@Daveinstructor]

I only saw the flywheel removal part - use a flywheel puller … I gave up at this point.

[@TheSudburyboy]

The nut will not go back on now.

[@sergioeu6947]

[@solopomodoro5853]

morjes, oma kansi kuumenee liikaa, otin kannen auki, ja en löydä kuin yhden vesireiän yläkulmasta... kai siellä toinenkin pitää olla jos vesi kiertää.

[@benjamingundry3304]

Does anyone have an online link for a service manual for this engine ?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Look ebay.

Best place to look www.leeroysramblings.com

Omg, you're a butcher!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Ok Sir

[@jamessteadman1328]

And now we have a pile of junk. If any one walked in my shop with hammers and crescent wrenches, and took apart an engine like that would be gone by lunch. Wha a hack

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thank You Sir.

[@Bernard-np2fq]

If it wasn't junk before it is now😢😢😢😢

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yeah

[@woud1235PlaysGames]

Gee can't wait for the 20-hour movie marathon putting it back to gether , Not

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

OK

[@joergi_küstenjung]

What you are doing here with this vintage outboard motor has nothing to do with knowledge and experiance! I hope that nobody who starts fiixing those kind of engines is going to follow you! There are a lot videos online that are better!

[@micheleprice8559]

okay, where on the net is better videos. need a great video for total dissemble and reassemble for a 1969 4 H.P. Johnson outboard boat motor . PLEASE give actual website address not merely "you tube da".

[@chrisnielsen5467]

This guy is a butcher, not a mechanic...

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Ok and Thanks 👍😀

Anyone wanna buy a second hand crankshaft.. only slightly burred on the magnito side XD
