Your vids are definitely not boring - we learn a lot from watching, and I for one am very grateful for people like you who instruct on things like mechanics.

I’m afraid I’m the novice hack learning to work on old outboards. I appreciate your repair videos greatly!!!!

awesome, I just bought a 1986 Evinrude and saw the 100/1 sticker so now i know what that is all about, Thanks for sharing

Love the videos, no bulls**t just 100% knowledge... I have no clue about boats, just love watching vids like this

[marzipan]

Great video! This is one of a kind because I can’t find anything like it anywhere! Thanks for the rundown and the quality content!

Incredible find.This outboard was one of my favorites.To think going through a beak in period for the fist time after 34 years.Since you have done to maintenance on it it is better than new.

I have an old late 60's or early -70's model 6 Fisherman. My dad used it 2 weeks out of the yr on annual fishing trip. It's been sitting in garage for probably 35 yrs. I need to go through it and get it going again. Glad I stumbled onto your channel. Thanks!

Oh man these are really good motors, we had a 5hp Johnsson that looked similar to that, it worked perfectly for over 30!

There will always be haters because they have no life and their life consists of hating on anybody and everybody so don't ever let those low lifes get to you i sincerely enjoy your videos and all of the boating content so keep it coming brother 👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪

Wowza! That is a rare find! I'm glad it ended up in the right hands. Most would have just throw that on a boat and destroyed it.
I almost wanted to see you take it a part and see what it looks inside with zero hours, but then again there would be nothing to see.

You have set up a nice little work area in your new garage. I wish I had that much room to work on things.

Awesome video! I actually just restored/complete tear down of a family member's 1985 Evinrude 4HP twin cyl outboard. It started with needing a new water pump, after sitting for over 10 years. That engine has no tell-tale pee-hole. It discharges the return water out with the exhaust - which means there was and is, no real way to tell if it's pumping and circulating through the entire block. Mine wasn't... After stripping the block, removing all covers and even the head, I found a clogged cooling hole/passage and cleared the blockage. Probably 20+ hours of labor into it, lol. It also has the 100:1 oil sticker on it!! I had no idea they did a recall on this, and that it should have been 50:1!!! I scratched my head on this and had already told my family member to run 50:1, even without knowing this. I told her to just keep a few spare plugs on hand. Of course, she didn't... I would love to share the photos and videos I took, if you want to see them.

Honestly, this was probably one of the best videos on screwtube, very informative and clearly spoken. Thank you for taking time to film and post this video, liked, and subscribed.

[richmcclure]

your videos are great. Your knowledge of Evinrude and Johnsons are unmatched on youtube. these sure help me gain the know how and confidence to work on my '86 Johnson GT200. Keep up the good work, these old 2-strokes are counting on you
