1980 45 hp Chrysler - Part 2 - Poor Running Fixed - Quick Tuneup - Start Up and Lake Trial 

Daniel Robert… Again excellent advice. From the information I can find online the Torque requirement for this size motor may be closer to 65 - 105 psi. I can’t be sure but I think it’s correct.

@@LivetofishOutboardRepair Well my torque spec was out of a Chrysler (1973) 25-30-35 hp shop manual. Your motor sure is a later model but from an outboard tinkerer to another with (hopefully) a sense of humor, I doubt that your spec number reads in "psi" !!! Hey more seriously, I can only guess at the huge amount of time you put in putting those videos online and I thank you for it. Stay safe and be merry mon ami !

Daniel Robert …. Maybe the torque was in Neuton Meters 😂. Thank you for your input I believe your probably right. I just hope I can get the flywheel off because I’m sure they’ll want me to work on their motor again. I’m glad you like the videos and your suggestions will make me better at working on these motors. Keep um coming.

RI Outboards ….. You are exactly right. I have worked in the fastener industry most of my 38 yrs. I found some 5/16” hardened flange head shoulder bolts that were not included with my cheap puller kit from Harbor Freight. It worked fine. I just had to be patient and let it sit for a bit under pressure to get it to pop. Thanks for sharing your story. Your comments are much appreciated.

@@LivetofishOutboardRepair hey np. just my 2 cents as an outboard mechanic! I recently had a 1965 33hp evinrude with a stuck flywheel. when it finally popped loose, it sounded like a gunshot! thankfully i had put the flywheel nut back on a few turns so the flywheel itself couldn't kill me haha!

RI Outboards …. Really? You needed to duck. That would have interesting. It was a good idea to put the nut back.

👍

I purchased the hand held switch from Amazon for under $20.

@@LivetofishOutboardRepair thanks for the info, looking forward to seeing more videos

Don't wander too far...you might get lost!!

boomie vang … The coils were purchased at www.marineengine.com They are scarce and hard to find but they may have one in inventory.

Jack Johansson…. Yes those numbers for resistance are correct if your motor is an electric start even for the 35 hp. The Point Gap is 0.15” (38 mm)

@@LivetofishOutboardRepair yes it’s electric but I have rope too. Thank you very much for your help :)

Thank you ! I have a blower in the garage that sucks it outside. I also have Co detectors in the house so it’s not a problem.

FrostyBellaEnvy…. It’s just a 12 volt trigger switch that I found on Amazon. Sunpro Actron CP7853 Remote Starter Switch for 6V and 12V Automotive Starting Systems, Black a.co/d/2NylGZT

@@LivetofishOutboardRepair Thank you!

@manueltorres1047….Timing on these motors is done by setting the points correctly under the flywheel. They should be gapped at 0.020”. Then you do a link & sync on the carburetor to make sure the butterfly inside the carb opens as you open the throttle.

Combat trap …. Wow no I’ve never heard of it. Maybe if the mechanic fails to torque down the flywheel nut properly I could see it happening.

I thought so too at first but that’s what the model number and service manual makes it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
