Evinrude 55 Hp Outboard Starter Spinning Backwards THIS OLD OUTBOARD 

Hahaha! Thanks for tuning in!

Hey. Sounds good! Thanks for tuning in!

Hey. I'm getting there! Took a beating last week, put me down for a few days. I think its a pinched nerve in my lower back. Could barely walk! But I'm getting there! Hahaha. C U soon

Hahaha! Thanks again for tuning in!

Hey Captain. Yeah, drove me crazy! Haha. Thanks again for tuning in!

Hahaha! Thanks for tuning in!

Hahaha! What ever happened to her? Thanks again & Stay tuned !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 she washed up on the beach…no kidding! It’s on Wikipedia

@@TheSteelworker wow

Hahaha! Thanks for tuning in!

Thanks again for tuning in!

Totally ! Thanks for tuning in!

Hey. Thanks! Stay tuned !

Haha!

And do the hoky poky and turn yourself around. That's what it's all about! Hahaha Thanks for tuning in!

The guy before me cut that hole in the cover and disconnected the safety shutoff

Hey. Yeah I figured thats what happened. No problemo! Thanks again !

No biggie. Did you see the unboxing vid?

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 LMAO the box showed up absolutely mangled. Glad everything was all good and already being put to use! Can’t wait to see the carb clean and mount on the 60!

Have you propped any 40hp. I’m looking for a Stainless Steel prop for a 2002 40hp Johnson that’s on a 14’ Campagna skiff, it’s a flat bottom fiberglass skiff, hull weight is probably around 800lbs. Any info would be appreciated, I’d love to find what would work best for this little skiff, I have 2 aluminum props right now, to be honest, I haven’t looked at them to see size and pitch. I was lucky enough to get a manual with this setup, so I guess I can look in it to see recommended size and pitch.

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Glad you got it running. Its got the standard prop on it. I think a 13 3/4 x 19 pitch, I was thinking the 17 would be the way to go with a smaller diameter. I think the cupping was for water and/or exhaust flow, something like that.? let me know what happens with the 16. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

May I ask which video you found the air screw mixture info on?

@@TheKrimron Hey. I checked my manual again, it says two full turns on "initial" setting

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Thank you very much! Your videos have helped me a ton.

Hey. Thanks for tuning in! Something like that.

Hey. Thanks again. It a 60, about to become a 70, as soon as I put the 70 hp carbs on it! Stay tuned !

Good to know! Thanks for tuning in!

👌

Then you didn't have a starter problem, you had a battery problem! Heheheeee

Hahaha. Unless you need a t-shirt. Thanks for tuning in!

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. The one I have was givin to me. No clue what brand it is. I had one from Harbor Freight that didn't last very long. I think nappa has a good one. I guess try searching the forums like iboats.com. I think they even sell them too. Sorry I wasn't much help. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Hey. Thanks for tuning in! Yeah, when it sits for awhile sometimes it does that. The last time it turned out to be a broken piece on the linkage. I'll check it this weekend. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 ​ @THIS OLD OUTBOARD kool. if am in doubt of a part i normally dont cause myself grief trying to fix it, just get used ones off ebay. always good to have spare. But if i was retired & had time to take stuff apart then i guess it anit that bad. Now with this mandate covax has me contemplating early retirement since i've realize ppl who do & live frugally enjoy life better than those only live few years after retirement & now with some ppl having severe side effects from vaccine its even lessening longevity.

@@fishawk90 hey yeah I've been buying all my parts 99% of my parts on eBay and that part is unavailable. There was a guy who had four of them brand new on eBay couple of weeks ago and they sold like hotcakes. But they'll come up every once in a blue moon. And I'm not retired oh, I've been working my ass off all week and have a bad back to prove it! Hahaha got to pay the bills like everybody else. I guess you can say I'm semi-retired from time to time. But I'll probably never stop working! Thanks again.

Carbs clean? High speed jet clogged?

@@z33tec that was my thought I am going to pull the carbs after work tomorrow

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yeah, there are a number of possibilities for a bogging situation. Best to get an OMC manual specific to your year and model. Check out the troubleshooting section on bogging and you'll see what I mean. Try ebay for a good used manual. If your like me and Mike B. then start with the basics and clean those carbs! Check out my carb cleaning video if need be. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-401zCRctu1c.html. Go through the entire fuel system from the tank back, could just have an air leak somewhere. Once your convinced the fuel system is perfect then you can eliminate it and move on to ignition/timing. Thats when a manual comes in handy. And never assume anything, just cause it "looks good" don't mean it is. Hahaha. We all do it! That 87 70 hp that I worked on for the old man here did the same thing but it wasn't fuel or ignition. I had that thing running great, it was a rocket on that little bass boat. Then the gearcase blew out and the motor overheated. We picked up another gearcase for it and new pump/impeller in. When I swapped them out I didn't swap the props right away, the new gearcase had a huge prop on it. Well long story short, It would run out fine on a first run, second run would bog. It drove me crazy! I went through everything over and over and couldn't figure it out. Compression was still good. Then one day my buddy Captain Mark said, swap that big prop out for the other one that was on it. Well I didn't think it was gonna do any different but I said I'll try anything at this point. And BOOM! She ran back to normal. Once that thing warmed up it did not want to push that big prop. I would have never guessed something like that was possible. It's all in my videos. So like I said. Never assume anything with these things. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Hey. Thanks for tuning in! Should start a cold motor with the fast start lever on the control so it can warm up. Some motors wont start at all without the fast start lever. All the lever does is opens up the carbs a little to a fast idle. Allowing it to warm up quicker. Once it's warmed up, return the lever back to normal idle position and it should be good to go! It's similar to holding your foot on the gas pedal while the car is in park. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Hey. Wow not sure about that, Maybe Kodibass has some ideas for it. I would think you might be able to heat it up and gently try and tap it back, but, if you smack it to hard it could break off. It's just pot metal. I've had a couple of old outboards that were bent but I just left them alone. Thanks again for tuning in!

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 thanks for the reply. I was thinking of a vertical wooden vise, tighten it as I heated the area that needs to be moved, I’m thinking that might be less stress on that area. Just thought you might have a different idea on what you did in the past. I know you have had your share of outboards and figured you’ve had to deal with that issue. Thanks again.
