1983 Evinrude 50hp Part 3 The Throttle and the Tiller Handle

[@rogerebmeier7335]

Thanks, changing out a throttle cable on a 96 Johnson 25hp tiller.. original cable, 28 yrs old before breaking.. what I needed to see

[@MrVanTeacher]

excellent info👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 i needed this

[@anthonylatronica5108]

Mike you had several good backyard engineering

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Well thank you and thanks for watching

[@krustysurfer]

Another great tutorial! My 15hp Evinrude (1988) has the same issue, cable bulges through sheath instead of moving linkage to full open, new cable is $80 bummer, eventually we will fix it right, im new to all of this Micheal, your videos are bringing peace and understanding to my situation of being a first time boat owner 😉 thank you very much. Aloha

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Glad the videos are helping, worst part is the cost of parts when you need to buy them, thanks for watching

[@krustysurfer]

@@Michaelsbackyardmarina actually new cable is $115....... 🤨 So the saga continues, thanks again

[@TruthFactFinder]

Where is Part 4??? I was really enjoying this series on the 1983 Evinrude 50hp.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Part 4 is dropping today.

Great video Michael thanks always learning from you brother Chris from OHIO

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Hey thanks for the comment and thanks for watching

[@hoohaa3654]

No! Your step by step vid re reassembling that OMC twist throttle grip & how to lube the inside of the grossly overpriced cable was NOT boring. Tks for posting it and good work on that Johnson 9.9 "with a big secret"

[@jimrichards8744]

Wow! Your videos are so easy to follow! I have a 1980 7.5 seahorse that the throttle is pretty bound up. On mine, the kill switch wires were cut and the kill button cap screws into the grip housing, That may take a minute to figure out how to reassemble...I'm going to attempt to splice the wires back together and get that functional again and lube the whole assembly.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Sounds good, thanks for watching

[@perryhebert5305]

The noise are the dogs on the recoil making contact. Springs must be getting weak.

[@RN67POST]

Wow, great information for me, just pickup a motor 15 hp throttle froze ! It look like the same system, now I have a attack plan . The clamp compressing pin totally lost me. How can a solid pin move that much?? To let handle slide, what reloads it . Springs ? Roger in Oregon 👍😬

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Just the flexible plastic gets pushed in by the pins then the handle slide free. thanks for watching

[@jimrichards8744]

@@Michaelsbackyardmarina I just pushed them in with the tip of a needle nose plier one at a time with rearward pressure on the grip.

Get a used dishwasher for the shop and use it as a hot parts washer.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

that would be a good idea for sure, thanks for watching

[@davidsirvio7716]

Excellent on the tiller and cable!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Thanks! and thanks for watching

[@codygunby1634]

Have the drive shaft on the old mecury crome plated it will help. Not that expensive

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching

[@perryhebert5305]

Contact with the flywheel ears.

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Wow we must be Psychic or something? I'm working on a throttle cable on a 1992 Belguim made Johnson 3hp motor. This free motor I picked up was missing one and like you said the price of a new one is crazy. I looked at my old junk snapper lawnmower and there are two cables on it and going to see if I can fab one for this motor. Will see if it works?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

give it a try for sure, thanks for watching

[@mpfla8095]

Do you have an ultrasonic cleaner for those parts that you need the old tooth brush touch

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

solvent and tooth brush. some day I may purchase an ultrasonic cleaner

[@dirtybuzzard5977]

👍👍👍Good video . Tiller Cleaning and lubing is a step most overlook. Until it sticks on them when they on the water. Have you ever converted a tiller to wheel steering and electric start . I just got a 20hp Johnson free from a buddy he was fixing to junk it that the till and bracket broke off he said it’s a 80’s something . I hadnt really took time to look at. It was used for duck huntin and they painted over everything. So I was thinking it might be a good project to try to convert it over. As always Sir thanks for the ride along . Keep’em coming

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I can't say that I have, may happen to need to do that some day, thanks for watching

[@aaronstanyer3056]

Makes a guy feel good when we can save it instead of having to buy a part. Those throttle cables are spendy.. no matter what HP they are for. 👍

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

It sure does, thanks for watching

[@krustysurfer]

Yep!😊

[@ChrisKing-od1ky]

In the middle of putting a tiller handle on a 1994 johnson 50 hp with till and trim. Did you have to replace the neutral safety switch on yours? Also what are you going to use for start button and primer. Thinking about adding a temp gage. I have an alarm on my tiller but not sure how to wire it. Going to delete the VRO also.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

You will be able to see some of that in some up coming videos, thanks for watching

[@timconklin8489]

Thanks for the update on the 20 hp Mercury outboard, I hope the drive shaft does not breaks while testing on the Good Enough boat. Great work on the throttle cable for the 50 hp motor looks like it make things much better and improvement in overall performance. Looking forward to seeing the rebuild on the carburetor s Thanks, Tim

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I hope so too but if it does I will make sure I am running wide open when it happens. Thanks for watching

[@richardcranium5839]

always hat e dealing with plastic stuff. age causes britillity( lol is that a word?) on that merc if it is indeed the driveshaft perhaps squishing some brass shimstock in there??? if its that audible its gotta be doing damage. but then again its an oldie. when the old dog quits running it may be time for a walk behind the shed if ya know what i mean.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I do know what you mean, Thanks for watching.

Nice work u do michael, hey these kids are making all kinds of dumb toy guns and shit projects with there plastic spewing three dee printers nowadays maybe put an add in paper you would like them to try and replicate some of those pieces you can no longer order or afford they might enjoy the challenge.snookie pa.

I'm going to try and resin print some engine stuff. thanks for watching

[@williamhammerstrom9860]

Another excellent and informative video Michael...thank you!! I follow another guy who I think could REALLY benefit from your vast mechanical ability. His name is Zach (from Florida) and has destroyed the impellor on his old 2-stroke powered surfboard I think 3x. He's done a beautiful job of restoring it and is almost in tears he's so frustrated. I'll link the 2nd video of the series.. hope you can give him a hand! Will kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGSxhmiGqLmWoM0

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Yeah, just watched it. Air is a killer on plastic stuff like that, He's getting figured out. Thanks for watching

[@williamhammerstrom9860]

@@Michaelsbackyardmarina the impeller breaks EVERY time he starts the thing. I think there's an assembly problem. Maybe a missing bushing or something.
