So direct so simple amazing video. No extra flourish. Fast forward in parts but still visual. Thank you

Thanks for putting this up on KZfaq. I have a problem with my Johnson 6 hp and trying to figure out how to get the powerhead off. I have a better understanding now.

Very precise breakdown! Over the top for me, but very interesting to say the least! I have a similar motor and could watch this many times!

When I was doing flat repair/replace I collected some interesting bits of things stuck in tires. A notable one was half a flat-file, it still works too! XD

Such a shame, a nice clean fresh water engine wasted....Someone probably over revved the thing in neutral and stretched the aluminum rod...Thanks for using the proper amphenol tool and the stop leads and not just cutting the wires! Those piston wrist pin bores are a tight fit on one side, the other side will be stamped with an "L" for loose. The wrist pins are driven out from the loose side toward the tight side, and reinstalled the same way, needless to say it didn't make any difference on that piston. I know this seems to go against logic, but it makes sense in order not to distort the piston skirt. Drive that crankcase taper pin out before loosening the crankcase bolts to make life easier.Love your cool combination work bench and engine stand, along with the nice piston fixture!

Muy bueno el video, eso pasa por falta de lubricacion. Felicitaciones.

Thank you now I know how look inside 2 cilinder outbord .Is to bad it look good from out but that is lots damage in cilinder tig welding it may fill in and planty precision sanding but J B welld it just may do trick since is under top of hed, got all parts what a hell I got compresor motor for cooler box running on just one hed cilinder did fine for 15 y.

this is Ken not Lesley , but I do have a couple of look alikes to this engine, - I like to see the tricks of the trade, and look for common problems or solutions, - it saves ruining something , because you didnt know about a secret lock screw somewhere - THANK YOU

Remove spark plug first, stick a dowel in and feel if the pistons are moving when its rotated over. No movement tells you a lot. At that point you'd know whether you want to proceed with a rebuild or junk it without having to spend half the day pulling it apart to discover the same information.

Really good work. Thanks.

Great job,your the man👍

A neighbor has an older 8hp Suzuki with a seized motor that he has tried everything except tearing it down. I told him this spring I'll try like you did on this one. Who knows may get lucky and just need new rings?

So how did you know that the power head was out? Just curious because my motor will start if i use a drill on the flywheel but im also waiting on a carb kit to rebuild because its leaking gas. I've chaged the water and fuel pumps also the spark plugs but the carb is next. Its getting spark but im hoping its not this bad. Thanks

my 3rd time watching this vid. Thanks. I am working on my(same motor) Do you have any of those parts for sale?Air box maybe?

So what did you do with this motor. I'd be interested in it for parts since I have the exact same year and model. Video was awesome by the way.

Hi very good vid. How do you call the fuel line part in min 12:44 and where can I get a new / used one with pipes conected ?

Can you tell me the number of the gasket between the girdle and the deadwood?

How do you get the air box off of that motor

I've got an 8 hp '85 Evinrude that i've got to take the powerhead off of. This was exactly the video I needed. Thanks man! The only thing I don't have is the CDI tool for that stop wire. Think I can carefully just use a thin drift?

Does this motor need a center bearing I didn't see on win the video

Can you speculate on why it failed? Thanks.

Hola puedes venderme el carburador completo para un motor que no tiene el sistema de aceleración

What would cause this? All can think of is a lack of lubrication or overheating from loss of water cooling.

Piston pin goes out with the arrow on top of the piston. You are suppose to heat up the pin

What would have caused that cause I’ve a 5hp shortshaft 1988 that uses the same block pistons etc ?

I know this is an old video but if you're still in business..any recommendations on the carb...or maybe do a video on it...I've rebuilt mine also replaced the bowl and top plate...still hard to start and don't idle worth a crap....any recommendations...?

what caused it, a broken bigend bolt, did one bolt come loose or something else

Could that air silencer be fitted to a -70's 6hp? If, then would it do any good for the low to mid rpm torque? Older ones don't have the exhaust tube like the newer ones, which i assume the air silencer is there in the first place to tune some fancy intake pulse stuff i don't have no idea about. (pardon my English. Not my native language)

fun little video

Is there any lower units for these engines available?

Friend, you have an engine document, I have the same engine and you do not have a purchase document and I want a similar one to make the documents again.

Wouldnt it be much better to use a press on the wrist pins in the pistons?

We’re you able to find a power head

Hi, I have an identical engine. I'm having trouble starting to cold. I also changed the piston rings, the spark plugs, I cleaned its carburetor and it still doesn't start. It starts very very hard with the shock pulled and the acceleration at maximum. After starting for the first time this way the following starts are very easy. Can you advise me what to do? Thank you.

I would not let u work on anything of mine. Screws when there bolts. Prying on plastic??? Motor was free but shaft was still in. no reason to pry.

Question? I have a 6hp an the flywheel does rock period. I sprayed areokroil in it 5 days ago an tilted it up an turned it sideways. So hears the question, that nut you took off for the flywheel to pull off can i put an impact on that nut an tighten it to see if the pistons free?

Hi, there mate, I've tried to get help with my 2 , hp DT Suzuki from other people and still not working. You seem to be very knowledgeable on outboards now after many years. l bought the engine recently, l live in Stockholm Sweden, l am not going to take it to a mechanic, we all know what they charge. Anyway, it is from around 88-89 it is new never been used. l sprayed some lubtŕicant in the cylinder, put 25 to 1 oil mix as stated for first 5 hrs of running. There is fuel getting to the carb, can smell it and the float bowl was full and checked it was clean. l mean this is a new engine, should be clean right. l have discovered that there is no spark, Someone said look at stop switch, so l pulled the two wires apart and took away the earth, made no difference. No spark. People have suggested must be the carb, but it has no spark. If l had a spark and got it running and it was running rough then l would take the carb off and clean it, l am waiting on a new spark plug coming today. Just to rule out that the one now is not faulty. The gap was correct 0.5 to 0.6 mm. If it is not the sparkplug and still no spark, Can you then guide me next what to do? Of course, you can suggest other things. l hope you will reply to this and l will reply and let you know if it was the sparkplug. Kind regards Kevin. l might post this to you to a few other vids just incase l don't hear from you and you miss it.

Lol! I love the maraka

Would u sell the carburator and primer?

Hi I have a evinrude 15hp 87 and the crankcase seal is leaking oil and shooting it up into the top of the cover and getting into the flywheel causing it to cut out on me Do I need to break the crankcase apart to replace the seal or can pull it out to replace it

Is it possible to replace the piston while the power head is on its mount? Can't get the dam thing to come out

I'm having an issue taking off my lower unit on a 84 8hp evinrude any tips it's almost as though its stuck

How can you tell if its not the lower unit with out takeing the top off ?

One of the connector rod bearings is broken.

Where did the motor come from (area)

So the block is not usable?

Engine sufferd the same Death as mine broken needlebearing

Would you sale this one and if so how much would you want for it ?

Eviinrude and Johnson shame complain I'm from srilanka

Broken rod

The only reason to own a motor this small is as a kicker , Incase your real motor dies. To slow.
