Great video! I wish this was uploaded 1 year earlier, lol. I had such a time trying to figure out how to release the shifting rod. I can see the lower inside exhaust housing is just a bad design, I had the same issues on getting it to stay put. Solid motor and fast motor.
you make it look easy. always stressful even after doing a dozen of these on Johnson 90hp over the years. I still learned a lot from you. bookmarked this episode to review- got another to do before duck season. gotta order pump assembly, lube and adhesive. You have a favorite place to order?
I notice when you put the water pump on the shaft it doesn't rest completely flat on the plate , is that because the impeller sticks out of the housing a little bit ? I just installed one and it was the same way the blades of the impeller stick out of the housing just a bit and it was almost like I had to force it down, it's a oem replacement .
Two times now I’ve had trouble removing the inside bolt that is under the trim tab going through the housing. The aluminum oxidizes and causes it to squeeze against the bolt. I’ve tried drilling out the hole a bit for more clearance and never seize compound and it seems that somehow it gets removed. Do you have any suggestions on how to treat the hole, bolt, threads whatever for easy future removal? Thank you
Brandon, I have a 1986 SPL Johnson 88hp. I changed the water pump, BTW Thank you for the help, and put the outboard back together. I thought that I would try the shifting before I start it up and have found that when I put the shifter in forward the prop turns with some force in both directions. The same with the reverse. On my inboard Mercruiser if you put it in forward it will only turn one way, the same if yu put the shifter in revers it will only turn one way.. Is the outboard different seeing how with force it will turn in either direction? I just bought the boat and did not shift it after I found it would start and the compression in each cylinder was 118 to 223 psi in all 4 cylinders. I kind of scares me so I thought that I would ask you. Did I do something wrong putting it back together?
How necessary is it to remove the intake on the carbs + surrounding items? Really just want to unlock gear shaft pin without having to remove a bunch of other items. Have a '93 88SPL. Cannot find a single video online for the life of me relating directly to my motor. Thanks!
Fishing line in Arizona , interesting concept ! Lol. I use a brake bleeder to test my lower units ( Auto zone carries it ) and a swivel from a pump hose ! As many lowers as you do why not bulk gear lube with a pump on the pail ? It’s turning out to be a nice outboard , are you putting it on your pontoon ? How hard do you think it would be to build a standup boat like yours ?
Probably prett easy, however it depends on you are with fiberglass work. Hey if you see anything unique or interesting at your show let me know. I really like weird odd-ball stuff. Or evinrude paraphernalia.
@@BrandonsGarage you got it bud ! I’ll text you if I see something cool and unique ! I like Johnson stuff myself , my favorite year is 1958 because of the colors ! I’m looking for a 35hp to complete my collection !
@@BrandonsGarage I found some stuff I know you will like ! Lol. I’ll send to you after I get back but need to know your address! This stuff is off the hook ! And by the way I was taking to Dennis Evinrude yesterday ( great nephew of Ole and Bess ) and gave me something for you !
@@BrandonsGarage I picked up a A-50 runs fantastic and cheap and a British Sea Gull but needs a transom bracket , I’d send picks but don’t know your E-mail address ! All in all I purchased 5 motors 1958 Johnson 10hp QD-19 , 1972 Evinrude 6hp , 1969 Johnson 6hp long shaft , 1930 Johnson A-50 and the British Sea Gull and 5 nice pressure tanks and a lower unit for a 1970 OMC 5 1/2hp or 6hp and a seat removal tool from Richard White ( Richard’s Relics ) and the stuff for you , all for under $200 !
Yeah, but I havent come across anything new, or video worthy, in some time. Ive done a water pump, lower reseal, power trim repair, and various other things.
@@BrandonsGarage like to ask a few things after I progress a little far on it just freshen the starter really cleaned it and polishes the armature works great now it was full of junk
Its one of these two: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EfFFYHfAslM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KYkHtgrklxM.html
The yamaha system is about a million times easier!...although yamaha blatantly copied the omc engine designs, they didn't copy the shift linkage thank goodness!
