I’ve had this exact motor for the last 14 years...J25TELSSD...these videos have helped me out big time! I broke down and bought THEE parts and THEE service manuals for it and I’m not in anyway trying to be a “know it all”. Just sharing info. Page 3-71 says initial idle speed start point is 2&1/2 turns out for this motor. Mine seems to do good there, but understand they all have their idiosyncrasies. I’ve followed these videos on this motor from the get go. So far this year I’ve replaced the power pack, coils, starter solenoid, plug wires, rectifier, thermostat, complete water pump, carb rebuild and lower unit gear oil. Thanks for the great videos! It really helped me get this thing running like a sewing machine. I wish I could show you a video of it running. Now I just gotta find me some big Wye River crabs! Happy Boating!...Bill

Just a note on the Omc with the primer, always push it all the way in when the motor is warm. if not it will pull fuel and be rich.

Really enjoy your video that helps me work on my old 2001 Johnson 25hp 2 stroke, really don't have the money for a new Mercury.

You all are living the good life, right on get down .love your knowledge on outboards, I'm a mechanic myself but love your videos on outboard, s I love them too, keep it coming good stuff thanx

Just scored a 1995 Evinrude 25 for $100. It had no spark so I guess the previous owner thought it was the CDI as it was unbolted and left loose. The only issue it had was corroded plug from CDI to coils etc.
Starts and runs fine.
Unfortunately more people don't watch videos like yours to see these engines are really simple to fix just need to apply one's self.
I also got a 78 25hp for $100 that's been abused but has a good Power head. The prop won't turn so seems terminal in the gearbox.
Good for parts. Thanks heaps for your videos chief your bloods worth bottling 👍

[timenfinger]

Thank you TOO! This video helped me figure out how to set my timing! Perfect for what I needed....👍👍

[juhelobofamily]

Great Video! Thanks for explaining these adjustment! I've learned more from your video than years of messing with them!

[carlhargisjr]

I just wanted to say thank you for being detailed in your video and explaining everything as you do it at the same time...pretty sure one of those is my issue with my 20 hp Johnson outboard but either way really informative and useful for future situations but once again thank you sir and please keep it up, so people like my self can learn this shit and appreciate it

[brianspiteri]

Awesome info sir. Going to work on my 25hp now and see what MY issue is lol.

[timlong]

I thoroughly cleaned my carb, engine actually runs great, but I was able to turn my air bleed screw in all the way without ever getting a lean sneeze. I'm not sure what is different.
After thinking about it more I think my idle is quite a bit lower than what you have set here. I'm going to raise it a bit and see what happens.

[riley]

Your video is amazing… good information. I have a 1998 25hp Omc and I can’t figure out why it doesn’t run properly. I got it running have 115 compression in both cylinders. New plugs, cleaned carb, motors in great conndition upon visual inspection, but it starts and won’t stay running. It will rev up but then bog, and then act like it’s lean other times. Played with the low speed and idle for lots of time now and can’t seem to get her to stay running after she warms up

[stevengaines]

Love watching all of your videos can't wait to see a big bass on the new pole.. nice use of what you have and make it work

[jaybuchalski]

Great video. However, I have remove the carburetor....gasket is shot. how do I get to the right bolt?

[shawnsingleton]

Good to see you tinkering with an old 25 again 👍

[scottscaneh]

The master of Outboard Tinkering back at it

[dewaynemarcionette]

This man teaches me a lot of tricks this man has forgotten more than most no

[joenobles]

Cool vlog finally made it to grills I gotta come over there and try it out catch you next time

[Fireship]

Sounds like it’s running much better now!

[keithphillips]

So with this procedure, a timing light and wide open throttle on the lake checking timing and chancing getting killed or accidentally killing someone is NOT necessary correct?

Today thanks to you I got the notches in line, wide open throttle accomplished, and a good idle. Thank you sir.

[CharlieHorse]

Great video ! Is there any way you can show where the idle stop screw should be situated ? In the video the starter is in the way
