Seized 1976 Evinrude 70 hp Outboard

[@GlenB1963]

I've just brought a 1978 75 stinger back from the dead too. Those old OMC engines will run forever if they are used, and serviced. I love them.

You can be the president of the I HATE FLATHEAD SCREWS CLUB I'll be your VP. Great video Chris from the snowbelt of ohio thanks for teaching me about how to work on the motors

[@htssoutboardsboatstrains9784]

Nice, those old triples are great motors to build. Actually once you get one done, more will follow. Can be an addiction!

[@jairocalderon3286]

Really Instructive video, yesterday I got exactly the same motor and control box, one of the 3 cylinder no spark, the guy told me is the power pack will be easy fix, really accesible part. Thanks for share your skills man

[@ct1762]

without testing the sensor and ignition coils might not be the pack. im not personally into throwing expensive parts at a motor and crossing my fingers. takes me 10 minutes to DVA the whole ignition to find out exactly whats wrong.

[@jamesbarnes8431]

Thank You for the infomation. Helped me see how to fix my water pump. Glad you got a good buy.

Nice find

[@R6rickhenry]

Good job! I learned something today. Thank you!

[@djtime45]

I surely hope you get paid for this because your videos are very digestible 💯💯 it’s to the point I want to do this as a hobby

[@chriseisele9969]

Nailed it me too and im mechanically declined

[@ct1762]

just a tip: buy the service manual for whatever you are working on. more info than any youtube video. this is an easy carb rebuild , but alot more expertise goes into things like cylinder head replacement, and especially ignition troubleshooting.

[@unknowntravelers540]

I recently purchased an angler with a 1977 70HP evinrude. Fired right up, are these parts for these motors easily accessible still? Is it worth going through it and keeping it

[@djtime45]

Can you do a video on winterizing a outboard I got a 1990 Yamaha 9.9 ld I’ll even take some advice hard to find a video on it

[@MakeItBetter1]

The main concerns for winter (my personal opinion) are making sure there's no water left in the passageways, running the remaining fuel out of the carburetors, and you can use a fogging oil from any auto store to lubricate/protect the internal parts.

[@Robin-by7nd]

Good 👍 job i run a 75 70 hp also have a 83 75 hp with 50psi on #1 cylinder and a 89 60 hp will 50psi on #3 cylinder in your opinion which one is the best to rebuild ?

[@boatandrvrestorationtravel8846]

I notice that engine dont have a pee hole on top, and i saw that u replace the impeller, where does the water comes out of that engine type?

[@PIF150O]

2 little exhaust holes on the backside of the engine

[@tonybruno7848]

That's a good motor, even if you part it out...but if you know what your doing you can have a great motor.

[@MaxWallace-w4p]

I have the exact same motor but I can’t get the tilt to work at all any advice on how to remedy this please 🤞 thank you

[@basimunoz930]

Why when we take it to the lake bogs and dies, any ideas? Thank you in advance!

[@MakeItBetter1]

Could be caused by a number of things... I'd start with cleaning the carburetors and making sure they are linked and synced

[@Loompius]

​@@MakeItBetter1 This! I've also seen the timing tree stick and cause issues!

[@cameronmcculloch252]

Hey man I have a 1976 evinrude 70hp and its been sitting for about 2 years and I took it out on the lake it ran good at full throttle on plain and then it slows down and won't go, I have the throttle all the way down but it only is going like wake speed and continuously stays like that. If the boat sits for a bit it will do the process all over again, ever had anything like that happen? The primer bulb is soft as well it seems.

[@MakeItBetter1]

Sounds like you are getting air into the fuel system. Double check fuel lines, connectors, and primer bulb.

[@cameronmcculloch252]

@@MakeItBetter1 ok I'm gonna get a new tank and fuel hose thanks man.

[@jamessisoutham1466]

I had something it was fuel connector both side on the fuel tank and to the motor

How do you get rid of the boat ?

[@MakeItBetter1]

Took it to the landfill.

[@ianpetti74]

Hey I just bought my first boat it has a 1975 70hp 2 stroke and it’s not getting any spark at all. Any suggestions?

[@MakeItBetter1]

Do you not have spark on any cylinder? Start with making sure the shifter is in neutral and the safety lanyard is hooked up. After that, you'll have to work your way back from the plugs to figure out where you are losing spark.

[@ianpetti74]

@@MakeItBetter1 No there’s not a spark coming from any cylinder. I didn’t know there was a safety lanyard either. I’ll check it later out today. Thank you, is it okay if I get back to you later?

[@MakeItBetter1]

Some of the old outboards don't have a safety lanyard/ Some do. Also check the fuse, it should be near the starter solenoid

[@ianpetti74]

@@MakeItBetter1 Boat doesn’t seem to have a lanyard, I also checked the fuse and the first part you checked and they have voltage.

Will do. I'll be working on the lower unit next.

If they sit out in the sun to long they seize up if nobody turns the flywheel every once an awhile

[@lornekofman2163]

put 2 stroke into the cylinders ed is not going to protect it
