Hi Brandon, I would like to contact you about getting my outboard worked on and I have some Evinrude parts

Hello Mr Brandon my name is Eric and sir you are bad ass in boat motors I have a 1981 115 seahorse and I love this old motor they are beast anyway want to do my carbs but a little scared to do it myself but watching all your videos I think I can master it thanks for all your expertise your the best thank you

@JavaJon3D 5 ай бұрын

Great video! I appreciate all the helpful information you provide. This will help me as I go through my 88 SPL before spring. Just need this Wisconsin weather to warm up a bit so I can get out in the garage. Thanks for the links on the tools! I received my carb gauge this week and I will probably be ordering some of those fuel line zip clamps.

Man i love your videos. This is what i want to do as a "side job" especially as there are no boat engine shops anywhere near where i live. Hand Tool Rescue KZfaq channel has a really good extra wide blade screwdriver that he makes and sells.

Your video makes me realize all the things I should have checked when cleaning the carbs on my 1990 90HP V4 some years ago. It ran well afterwards nevertheless.

I love it when people would use silicone and crappy gaskets on the ATVs I would buy. Normally a quick easy fix. They would say I rebuilt the carb and it still runs like crap. Well that's why. I'm hoping that's the heater I hear howling at times and not the wind.

That motion pro grey fuel line is actually really nice stuff. It's marketed for motorcycles. I've used it on my XR650R for years now where it has to make quite an interesting path right next to a hot header and be flexible. It held up better than anything else I tried. It may not be the perfect line for this outboard application, and it definitely doesn't replace stuff like Trident A1 or B1, but I think it's great. It reminds me of silicone electrical wire, how flexible it is.

@BrandonsGarage 5 ай бұрын

My only issue with silicone electrical wire is the strengths of it; you can wear a hole right through it by looking at it. I agree, that felt like great fuel line; however, I don't think it was the correct 5/32, and the zip-tie sure didn't help matters- but it seemed like really nice stuff.

I have been watching some of your videos, and it's been very helpful to me. I'm new to this boat world and curious about gas leaking from the carburetor when the motor is tilt on a 2 stroke. When the motor is down on a run position, then the gas doesn't leak. Is that normal for a 2 stroke? I did rebuild the carburetor twice, but the problem is still there, when tilted. Thank you...

"Yeah it just leaks fuel" ("I also did every janky fix I possibly could to break EVERYTHING") There's no way that motor ran before it got to you.

I recently bought a 1967 Chrysler built Sea King 9 HP on a marketplace ad. The guy used some really creative photography in the ad for it. When I got to the location of the motor (76 miles away) the guy had it outside on a stand with the hood on. Then he says " I need to grab one more thing for you". He comes out with a box with the carburetor and reed/intake and I'm thinking it's extra right!? No! I took the hood off and the carb and intake manifold w/reed plate were missing from the motor. The intake he had in the box was so full of JB Weld it was almost unrecognizable!! He originally told me it runs, you just need to put the carburetor back on! Lol 😆. By the way, the recoil mount is also part of the intake and that's where it was broken haha😮😅

That's one of those situations I've been in where there's a really good chance there's no compression on one piston, shot bearings, electrical issues, clogged fuel lines, you name it.

It wasn't a big deal for me because I have gobs of Chrysler/ Sea King parts but it was funny that look on his face when I started walking away. He says "gimme fifty for it?" 😂

@larrymormino668 5 ай бұрын

Brandon. I very new to your channel. It’s very interesting on how you do your work on these old outboards. But if your going to show us how it’s done, then I would suggest you explain what your doing and showing the video without speeding it up. We don’t learn anything there. At least I don’t. Who’s you would think about doing some mercury and mariner engine also, if you know how. I wouldn’t think that they are much different. Hint!

@MoneyThao 2 ай бұрын

how much do you usually charge for rebuild a carb

@havocsquad1 5 ай бұрын

That's no 90 HP, that's a 112 SPL with 90 HP cowling or 112 SPL powerhead. Bubbleback with lift ring where rectifier/regulator goes is dead giveaway. I'm sure Brandon is more than aware of that, surprised though he didn't say anything about that. Facepalm on the Epoxy putty on the float bowls and the gasket crap on the bowls. Seeing this, it's no wonder why most of the seasoned service people say owners kill more boat engines than break by itself or due to collision. I'm curious how much misinformation this customer listened to or if they just steamrolled through without doing any major research.

Wondering why you didn't remove the welch plugs and take a peek behind them? With all the other crap floating around in there... Besides it being a royal pain in the ass to put the new plugs back in properly, lol.

@BrandonsGarage 5 ай бұрын

It not a pain exactly, its just unless the carb is filled with sand, I've never needed to remove them. Every time I do I regret it. I thought I would be here, but the carb cleaner did such a good job at breaking the stuff down, after blowing it out I didn't feel I needed to.

@mjodr 5 ай бұрын

@@BrandonsGarage Understandable. I don't think I will do them next time just because I have near zero experience with them and definitely no special tools to remove/replace them. I guess they aren't leaking because the motor has been running great many times, it just scared me messing with them.
