Johnson 60 HP Water Test

[@kentuckyblugrass]

That 60 flat out moves. No hesitation out of the hole whatsoever. Well done 👊🏻🙏🏻

[@davekimbler2308]

Another one bites the dust ! That 60 seems like it’s a good fit for that boat ! Took the camper out on its shake down for this year and alls well and ready for the 4th of July trip ! Starting to get my energy back so maybe I can get stuff done ! Lol !

[@genejudgejr6931]

Really hoped to see more of the setup and tuning of the carbs , hoped to pick your brains on setup of the triple carbs.

[@evinrudej]

I really have been liking the water testing after you get the motors going great content !

[@kennethperian4370]

Yes love watching you work on that motor, keep up the good work. And well see ya next time see ya bye be safe.

[@jmac6242]

Definitely. IMO, Great Series. I'm running a '90 48SPL on a '90 Model Traveler. 1990 was their last year if production, have always wanted a 3 cyl 60. Always enjoy your vids... Thank You!

[@larrygulick6080]

I throughly enjoyed being taken along on your adventure. You've come a long way young grasshopper. I'd rather be where you are as opposed to windy and cold Pinon Hills!

[@charlesroberts6965]

Truly enjoy your videos, thanks for taking us along for a water test 😁👍

[@dontrufit7889]

A bloody good motor still. also it is amazing what people throw away with many a good time to be had from things

[@ya13ya03]

Great series and a great motor. Thanks for sharing.

[@wish2fish37]

Good series to watch. Timing troubleshooting is helpful. I am still wondering why on one of my 25hp I finally got running someone notched out the starter bracket for the timing screw to get more adjustment?It is turned in about and extra 1/4 to 1/“2“ or so compared to my other motor.

[@Ray56z]

Watched your vid posting on a problem I have, still have it. Bought a 10 year old Johnson 25 hp, used it 5 months nearly daily and it pumped water. Sat 3 months, wasn't pumping when I started it up. Replaced with the entire kit-nothing. Opened and blades half melted. Watched your vid, even started and stopped it step by step while replacing entire kit again. Put muffs on, nothing. Opened it again and half melted. Got another one, spoke to the machinic, told the same as your step by step. Completed it and water tub tested this time with weak drill, pumping water about 2" out the hole. Got on the water today, was pumping, took off, 3-4 minutes later seen it wasn't peeing-shut it down. Trolling motor to the ramp. Tubes are all connected, have mouth blown into pee hose with air passing through while foot (lower unit) off. The original impeller wasn't in pieces, blades bent and hard as a rock, looked complete. Tuesday I'm going for another kit. P.S. I do have some mechanical skills, just overhauled a Yamaha 115, every bolt , new everything but the crank and block.

I really enjoy your content. I have looked for an answer to the following question with limited success so I will ask it here. How high, far, or capable of check valves/fuel filters are the old style evinrude fuel pumps capable of pulling fuel? All answers appreciated.

[@mattward3812]

What do you set your timing light to when you do both the at home cranking test and the on the water idle test? Great video. Thanks!

[@DougsMessyGarage]

The 60 scoots your boat along pretty nicely.

[@robokiss7822]

I've been stuffing around with my old motor I will like to know how many MP did you get up to on WOF with that 60hp

[@goldenstatefisherman6124]

Hi Brandon. Great video! I really enjoy these along with those “tear down” videos you’ve posted throughout the years. Keep the content coming. I have a question about my 2001 Evinrude 175 FICHT … e175fpxsif … looking everywhere but I’ve found contradicting info .. what would the torque specs be for the stator and flywheel? I can’t find any info specific to my motor online. Really appreciate the help, thanks!

[@ct1762]

stator 120-144 in/lbs. flywheel torque is different for FICHT motors so just look it up in you factory service manual. you do have one right?

[@sharonbraselton3135]

Buy evolution 552. 175 on it

[@dominicksforza3484]

Whats the difference to get the extra 10hp between this motor and the 70??

[@kenfrazier616]

nice run

[@chrisdriver4083]

That's a awesome video man I have a 1994 johnson 60hp 2 stroke as well and I believe the timing is a little off

[@flyhog8574]

What year is that motor? I have the 1993 and until this last Saturday it ran like a top then all of a sudden it bogged down to about 4k and top speed of 15 on the river WOT took it out to the lake and the joker ran like a top again. No clue what happened.

[@Factory928AC]

Jack smithhhh🤙🏾

[@leonardhirtle3645]

Is it a Johnson or an evinrude ?

[@skipmitchell3200]

Surprised you can run a boat motor in a lake in cali and not get a ticket for pollution. 🤔

[@jefffox5340]

Could you do a link and sync on like a 2006 johnson

[@AN-kg4ei]

Of all the stuff I have on the boat, I forgot to pack a timing light. Packing one for when fishing is slow. 👌

[@earlybirdfishing]

I see that you leave your fuel line disconnected. I usually run the fuel out of my outboard after each use. Is there any benefit to leaving the line unplugged?

[@BrandonsGarage]

Many! the fuel doesnt clog the carburetor up as it breaks down doesnt slowly eat away the aluminum and fuel lines, and probably more Im forgetting. Ive had an engine sit for 4 years after draining, fired right back up. Unless Im going out the next day, I do this every time.

[@Shadetreejr1967]

I've got a 92 17' Bass Tracker with that same hull design, got a 45 Mariner on it now but putting a 65 Suzuki on it soon. What was your top speed after you got it running with that 60? Will give me an idea of what that 65 Suzuki is gonna do! Thanks, great teachings and thoroughness!

[@flyhog8574]

I have the same motor on the 93 tx17 and top speed I get is 34

[@kencleg7721]

60 should go 30 maybe more w right conditions

[@kencleg7721]

I get 32 33 smooth mornings trimmed out right it’s a flat bottom 1780 express aluminum

[@kencleg7721]

60 I like the draft I get Iam 4” in the back motor up. 18” wot at the prop

[@sharonbraselton3135]

New tracker 17 7. Has 50 hp eltric on it batery oiwred

[@FatKayakAngler]

I got this same motor on my pontoon, any idea what the stock prop size is? I'm only running 4000 rpm and not sure if I have the right prop. The only numbers I can see on the prop is "979p"

[@flyhog8574]

13.25 with a 17” pitch is what mine has on it.

[@vinhphan6738]

Hi Brandon. How did you adjust the low speed. I have a 1989 Johnson 70 HP that needs links adjustments. I had it rebuilt so the it needs synchronization. I did the high speed the same way as you did but I need to do the low speed also. The motor runs rough and low speed. Please response. Thanks.

[@BrandonsGarage]

Very carefully. I put them all 1.5 turn out - then it ran like poo at idle. then turned them all 1/8th of a turn until it ran good. Then gave them all another 8th - and it seems perfect. ...However, you are supposed to turn each one at a time, until it stops 'sneezing' on that cylinder. Problem is I couldn't tell which carb/cylinder had the sneeze.

[@vinhphan6738]

@@BrandonsGarage Hi Brandon. what do you mean by 1.5 turn out? I took the carbs off yesterday and it seems that the carb does not have anything that can be adjusted. the motor run either cold or overheat. the temperature is around 70 degrees using the old thermostat. replace the a new thermostat the motor is overheating at idle speed. any idea why this is happening? Thanks for your response.

[@happydays454]

Dang that's a fast boat

[@johnbailey1085]

Good series on the 60 HP, but I just have to know, “what’s this guy doing?” What was he doing?

[@BrandonsGarage]

Who, me?

[@jessystine2197]

No love for the vro??

[@goatwhsprr]

I will send the carson reeds with the intakes. Send me the address on IG and me, Brandon will forward these..
