Just picked up a 1987 40hp evinrude. It’s got good compression, and by the looks of it had been setting for a long long time the fuel in the carburetors looked like maple syrup. Currently replacing the water pump and carburetors are rebuilt using your special sauce. Thanks again for taking the time to do these videos you and Kodi are the best man.

It still amazes me how far folks will let the motors go before checkups.Cleaning takes a full third of my repair time when they come in.Good video 👌

[MsJon]

the lake to your self and a feeling of freedom, can not beat it. and a good sounding motor.

[paulpetersen]

Great job on the 40, the sound of a perfectly tuned two stroke is music to my ears.

[williambrownlee]

Scootin son! Awesome job! It's been a great enjoyment watching this thing come back to life. Big Big fan brother. 🤘😎

[michaelfellini]

Hey my brother it's been a minute. I gotta say once you clean that sucker up it looked amazing. And it sounds fantastic you keep doing you because that keeps the rest of us real happy woo hoo

Took mine out for probably the last time. Got a catch of bluegill to eat. No worry about overheating it was 46 degrees. Now run gas out fog the old Johnson 28. And wait for ice to fish more. Your 40 runs great, next 55.

[DieterMe]

I am impressed
You made it better than new !

[samtate]

I’d say you got her run pretty good Beautiful lake I wish I was there fishing it

[kennethhooper]

Man, I just knew that you were going to hit your knuckles on that flywheel... So happy that you didn't.

[joeevens]

I have an '87 40 hp myself. Haven't started tweaking it yet but seems like a nice one. Looks like you are getting that one dialed in.

A Beautiful Day for a little stroll on the water 🏞👍

These are great engines, will last forever with normal care. It is important to remember that messing with the idle speed will require messing with the cable adjustment and vica versa....You pulled the cam back to make sure it wasn't touching the roller, good man...Pulling the cam back required readjusting the WOT stop on the big throttle arm, good work!
Please don't spend too much on that old 55hp until you get it running, glad you had an old harness...

[john]

Great video! I don't know about tweeking my Johnson though...

[robertbcurry]

Thank you for the videos they are very helpful, I wish I could get my Johnson 40 to run that smooth. DOesn't matter what I do to it, seems that I can't get the fuel mixture right it bogs all the time and is using about a gallon of fuel every 2 miles which seems super excessive!

[alvarsdzenis]

your video title, "Tweeking my Johnson" almost made me a bit nervous, and apprehensive about watching it. as much as i love ya bud, i don't think of you that way, bwahahahahaha!! just teasing bud. cheers🇨🇦
