@@Jerold-bu3ul I gave it away for free too! I gave it to a high school kid that needed a motor for his jon boat, I figured it would be good for him to learn how to work on it himself.
@@dumbluck6180 This one was super clean for it’s age. I’m glad I did research because I almost used 50:1 in it until I found the right ratio. I think I used 25:1. 24:1 sounds right, thanks for the tip
I have the WH2400i (green case) and today wouldn't start no matter what. Took the case apart and shot some starting fluid in which fired up for just a second. Haven't started it in a couple of years. Going to take it apart again and clean the jets. Must be completely clogged. Weird because I always drain the bowl.
What is it with all you beautiful people … 25 instructional videos now - hoping to save my wallet >>>--> Everyone vacuuming like golden moment (thank you for speeding up). Everyone uses 2-3 devices - Some say brush: I see the brush and get links. All say vacuum: I see vacuums and don’t need links. Most claim vital is air compressor: I see no air compressor and get no links!!! What type, example, of air compressor? It is not like my portable tire air compressor. That did not work. I search Amazon for air compressor: $300.00. I can DIY a working frig better with a thin 85.6 mm x 53.98 mm piece of plastic. (God give me patience 🙏)
@@AliWeighsB4AliBuys if you get an air compressor go to harbor freight, they are the cheapest and I have had mine forever from there. Anyone will work, smaller air compressors are louder and don’t hold as much air but they will work. You could also use a leaf blower, or flip the hose to the other side of a shop vac vacuum.
Good morning. I have rebuilt a 1968 6 hp Johnson with my good friend and neighbor about 4 years ago and took it out and it ran great! I bought a 1957 7 1/2 hp Johnson same year as my boat but haven’t had a chance to check out anything about it yet-life! I will get to it but really like that the motor and boat will both be 1957! Maybe its just me but thats ok also! Thank you for the video and enjoy watching people work on older motors since we did my other one! Thank you again and have a good day! Finding an original hood emblem is hard for these older ones also!!!
Thanks for your comment, I did not know about the hood emblems. I do like these old motors and almost anything with a motor. It is pretty crazy that all these years later the thing still runs, todays new stuff won’t last as long as these do
@@nathanbishop1999 Good morning thank you for responding and some day I will get to my boat and my 1957 motor and hope I get it working ! Thank you again and have a good day
Man I pulled my carburetor off twice and cleaned it before I found this video. I wouldn't have thought to look under the stepper motor for another orifice to clean out.
I have an iGen2300 that won't start. If I hit it with some starting fluid, it will start. I need to take the carb off and clean it but getting it out looked like a nightmare. Coming across your video was very helpful. Thanks!
That's awesome, they aren't the fastest thing on the water but they are so easy to work on and you can learn most of the basics pretty easily with them
Lucky you I had to pull the whole motor out of my S-10 with an l31 vortec. I replaced the front seal too with a plastic cover, instructions sez to put silicone under the plastic cover to the front seal or it will leak. Came to see if someone did it on RU-vid.
I do have a attic and it has some almost standing space. I haven’t looked up there yet but my attic has a wood floor so I don’t know if I’ll be able to find the support beam. I’ll take a look since if I would go through all this trouble, I think I would want to install a new ceiling fan since mine is over 20 years old and the light fixture isn’t working properly. I was considering replacing the light fixture and seeing if I can tighten it up. Mine the case on the ceiling doesn’t wobble but you can move the fan motor back and forth more than one the others in my house. Any ideas how I might be able to fix that? Great video!
On many frigs (including mine), to do a decent job, you need to empty them out & tip them up against a wall to access the coils from below. It's a real pita.
love the retro vibe, i have a chance to buy an 88' WR500 for $600CAD that runs. approx. $430USD. body needs TLC. and no trailer. is that a steal or no deal in your opinion
I just did mine. I was able to take only the passenger side of the exhaust apart since I recently changed to gasket on that side. I just moved the flywheel cover over enough to get to the nuts, and maneuver it to free the pan. I did the reverse to get it all back on. The worst part of the whole job was lining up the holes with the brackets on the outside of the pan, the pan itself, the gasket, and the block to get the bolts started. I figured the brackets are probably there to give an even pressure across the entire pan. So I couldn't discard it. Once I got that in, the rest was actually quite simple. Chevy's are awesome.
Hello, recently had a small tiny Oil Leak on my 96 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. And got the part to do this exact thing, I have some questions that I would like to ask. I’m a particularly young fellow not familiar with the in and out of mechanics, will this be a hard or difficult job to do? When I ordered the replacement pan set, it came with 4 small other pieces, where do these go? If you’re able to explain that.
I got a 95 c1500 pickup. I'm pretty sure I have just enough clearance as well does the gasket seat properly any leaks? Seems like it'd be difficult tryna cram the oil pan back in and not move the gasket around? Get back to me imma go ahead and order the gasket
at 5:30 to pull the pan out freely you need to pull out the wiring harness directly under the pan to make it easier. then put it back when you reassemble. also, when taking out the pan bolts, put a rag over the cross member. this is because there's a hole there and if you drop a bolt (like i did) you will have to fish it out.
i have to change both transmission and oil pan gaskets, if i took off the transmission pan, would the torque convertor cover come out without detaching the exhaust, as well is merely retightening the exhaust flange enough to reseal, is there any prep. thanks for the video and effort, grreatly appreciated
I have a 92 WR500 that just needed a new ecu. Did all the same maintenance and tuneup you did here. Looking forward to getting it on the lake next week!
That’s awesome, the main thing is the fuel. After you get the carb right just make sure to use it or at least start it every couple weeks and you shouldn’t have any issues
Right? Pro-tip: mop the floor all around the fridge shut a very wet mop just before using the leaf blower. It will capture most of the dust, then mop up!
I keep 6inch wide lengths of thin masonite that are almost four feet long for this purpose. many fridges will ruin floors. Never roll them out without protection. Just line the two boards with the wheels on the front. Also, many fridges will require compressed air because only the front of the coils are accessible. Blowing them out works great. Having a shop vac running, with the hose next to the coils will help to catch a lot of the dust from blowing them out.
