Fixing & Flipping 4 Junk Outboards to Pay my Rent! 

I appreciate you my friend! Lots more coming soon 💯

Thank you so much! Means a lot to have that part of the job recognized. I make money obviously however I love helping people get out on the water with a reliable engine without giving an arm and a leg…

Really appreciate that Michael!! More on the way coming soon!!

Fun hobby and pays nicely!

Making them as quick as I can!! Really appreciate the support. And yeah that’s a very common issue on the old 2 strokes, just sounds like you have a bit of dirt stuck in the high speed jet on your carburetor. Cleaning the carb should solve your issue! Either that or you have an air leak somewhere between your gas tank and the motor 👍🏼 make sure gas tank is vented as well. Also if it’s just a bit of dirt in the high speed jet many times you can just buy a can of seafoam and mix it with your gasoline and let it run for a bit. Seafoam will clean your jets and sometimes you can get lucky and not have to pull the carb off at all! (Although I always recommend removing it and thoroughly cleaning it). Best of luck to you!! Always available on instagram to give you any advice you need to get your granddads motor running. He’d be proud 👍🏼

Thank you so much!!

Thanks so much man! Really appreciate that

I appreciate that! And trust me the one I’m working on right now is going to be insane… I took a week long vacation so I’m just a little behind but there will be plenty more coming soon! I really appreciate your support

Really appreciate that! Have more coming very soon

Really appreciate that man!! Definitely spent some time on your channel as well. Cheers!

Really appreciate it! Thanks so much for the support

Thank you so much my friend!!

I appreciate that a lot man! More coming real soon 👍🏼

I really appreciate the support!! And Yamahas are for sure the best motors out there. Just don’t see too many of them in the North / Midwest!!

I appreciate it! And yes this is actually in the works, between a couple boat builds I have going I am also filming a full instructional video on my process start to finish. Excited for it! It’s a great skill to have. Thanks for watching 💯

Awesome man, that’s great to hear! These videos are sweet!

@@DylanWicka means a lot to me 🤝

Thank you so much!!!!

Same here 😅 rarely get that lucky!

You got it!!! Lots more on the way 💯

My thoughts exactly 😅

put a MADE IN AMERICA sticker on it & then stand back

I really appreciate that!!! The early support means a lot 🤝

More coming soon man! Thank you so much for the support

Thank you so much 💯

Thank you! And if it happened to be a dud I’d get more than $200 parting it out on eBay.. (worst case scenario) so pretty minimal risk!!

Haha I appreciate that! And They’re always listening…. And I am indeed a favorite in the neighborhood 😅

Much appreciated! More coming soon 👍🏼

Thank you man!!

Haha thank you!! Have multiple projects going on right now so we have plenty more to come! Appreciate the support

I really appreciate the support!!

Never buying a motor with the wrong stickers again 🤣

That made my day!! Really appreciate it

Great advice! I appreciate it 👍🏼

Hey thank you I appreciate that!

Thank you!!

Don’t tell me it was you 😅

Thank you!! Be sure to stick around I’ve got a ton more coming 💯

@@BoatBusters I will, subscribed for all

@@funnyfunny6842 really appreciate you 🙏🏼

Thanks for the support man! DM me on instagram - same username as RU-vid and send me any videos you have of the issue if possible. I will admit I have never owned or worked on a Coleman before, don’t see too many of them but they all work the same more or less. I’d be glad to give you any info I can but I’d need to see exactly what you’re talking about. So yeah shoot me a DM with pics / videos and we will see what we can find!

Thanks for the compliment and for the tip! Never have any issues flooding the engine doing that?

@@BoatBusters no, you just do it reaaly quick and if you dont have a other option

That really means a lot to me! Much appreciated… and unfortunately not at the moment that will fit the one you’ve got…

Thanks friend! I found one last night actually. New subscriber here!

@@williamtunnell you rock man 🤝 thank you so much. Best of luck with your driveshaft project!

My local advanced auto parts sells them! Yeah they’re super great

Much appreciated

***Only lesson I learned in my 27 years. Don’t buy one from any young person. Get burned almost every time

As long as it has compression - I can make it run… but yea I love the ones that fire right up - the best feeling! Also don’t give all youngsters a bad rep! I’m only 24 😅😅

@@BoatBusters “youngsters 20 or under”. I remember what I did to those engines I would run religiously at that age. Being a broke 16 year old with a healthy motor was never a good match. Couldn’t afford the gas let alone the oil. A youngin will lie right to your face and says it runs perfect. 30-40yo in a half decent area for the most part are honest and take way better care. Everything blows up but who’s using determines how fast it blows up

@@jesseferreira8298 yea I can agree to that!!!

@@BoatBusters keep it up. For only 2 videos your doing more than awesome view and subscriber wise. 🤝

Thank you!! And there’s really not a lot of info out there about the origins of the restrictions, but I believe it was because certain lakes were originally used as sources of drinking water and the law originated with the EPA. But it also could very well be due to the general size and depth. Not 100% sure! Thank you for the support though!

So you’re the reason my house got raided during the video….

Really appreciate the support… I sure hope it will be!

Sounds like an issue with the float in your carb. Usually no start unless wide open is a tell tale sign that your carburetor is flooding the cylinders. Too much gas to ignite until you open the throttle and the extra air will allow it to start. Since this is your first boat, a very common beginner mistake is not having your gas tank vented. Gas tanks have a vent on the lid that has to be open to let pressure out. Vent the gas cap and unscrew it to let pressure out before connecting your fuel line. What happens is the pressure builds in the gas tank then you release it into your engine and the pressure from not being vented will force excess gasoline into your motor. So first and foremost make sure your gas tank is vented properly. Next thing make sure your primer bulb is facing the right direction! There’s usually an arrow to indicate correct direction of fuel flow. Lastly, just because you rebuilt the carbs does not mean the float is set correctly. They need to be set manually and are not pre-adjusted “out of the box” … the float must be level and there is a line on it to mark how high / low it needs to be. There is a test (no tools required) to make sure your float is closing properly, I demonstrate it in my most recent video!! Also these motors run surprisingly well on only one cylinder. I would get a gap tester and make sure spark on all cylinders can jump a 7/16” gap. If you have any more questions or need more help I’m always here as a resource for my RU-vid community- feel free to DM me on instagram (same username) and I’ll help you work through your issues best I can!

Let’s be friends man!!! Always trying to connect with likeminded people

I have a larger tank that I test impellers in, the muffs were leaking on the 9.9 and the 6 the water was barely above the intake. Both were much stronger in the deep tank but I unfortunately didn’t film that. Good eye though! Was waiting for someone to call that out…

Awesome channel. Subbed. Cheers from Sweden.

@@northernmotion090 🇸🇪 🇺🇸🤝 thank you!!

On Amazon for $6 ! Dirt cheap

I’m based in Ohio, but unfortunately it has sold! I typically won’t post the video unless I’ve sold everything already…

@@BoatBusters I got a mercy 50 hp and it has the shaft bearing race and the gear drive that has a race that I need out.. lol

I get them on Amazon! The compression gauge is $15 and the spark tester is $6… I always recommend going for higher quality gear if you can afford it- but neither of them have ever done me wrong… proper engine diagnostics for a $20 bill (I’m cheap)

More on the way!!

This is a brand new channel and my first ever attempt at doing RU-vid! Just started the channel a couple weeks ago so im cranking videos out as fast as I can. I have 3 different projects that I’m filming at the same time so there will be lots more content being posted soon 💯 I appreciate your support!

@@BoatBusters I’m liking you style and subscribing now. Good luck and I’ll be there to watch and 👍.

@@johnhamilton9229 means the world to me - thank you

W subscriber 🤝

That’s insane… yeah there’s a lot of variance in price for sure.. also, seriously?? 9.9 and 10 Hp are the same thing… writing a ticket to anyone for that is disgusting, especially for an old man. Really sucks to hear that

I love that! These old 2 strokes bring back a lot of memories for me as well… and they just sound so much cooler!

California is the no fun zone from what I’m hearing! 😂

Wow 1200 is crazy! Never seen $1,000+ for a 2 stroke 9.9 before up here… 4 strokes are a different story though!

@@BoatBusters part of the reason for the high price is they’re seen as collectibles now. A lot of people are looking for old school Johnson/Evinrude 9.9/15 hp 2 strokes. In some parts of the country you can pic them up fairly cheap, in other parts they fetch a premium.

@@Will97675 sounds like a business opportunity to be had there 🤣

That’s very common on the larger Mercury motors if you are using the water hose muffs at home. When you are on the water riding it in the lake does it still just spit? You can also fill a large barrel with water at home so it’s well above the intake and put it in gear and raise the RPMs. It should turn to a good strong stream submerged in water. If it still is not peeing on the lake and you’re confident your water pump and impeller is good, you may have some dirt or sand in your pick up tube or water lines. You can try to take some thin wire and run it through the pee hole and see if there’s any blockages. However I’m betting that you’re just using muffs in the driveway and most of the time that just isn’t enough for those beefy motors. Good luck!!

@BoatBusters thanks yea I did all that poke it with trimmer wire took it to the lake thinking it's the muffs but same so I'll check the pickup do you think the water jacket have anything to do with it?

@@hmongxwb88 it could. It’s definitely the most uncommon and rare issues with water pumping and is always the last thing you should check though - it’s a huge pain. If you only replaced the impeller I would replace the entire water pump housing and seals as well, and make sure you did the water pump job correctly. There’s usually a key on the shaft that locks the impeller in place and it’s very small and easy to miss. If you don’t have that, it won’t work right. My last thing I will recommend you do: thermostats open and close based on temperature. I recommend completely removing all of your thermostats and then putting the housing back on but with no thermostats inside. Then try to run it. If the water stream is fine, then your thermostat job wasn’t done correctly, you got bad parts, or your motor just hasn’t gotten hot enough for a full stream. But remove your thermostats, replace the housing, and see if that fixes the issue. You do not want to run your motor for extended periods of time without thermostats, but it will not harm your engine at all to fire it up without them for diagnostic purposes.

Ok thanks a bunch I will do that before the hard stuff and yea I replace the whole waterpump assembly and went off some videos on how to do it thanks again

@@hmongxwb88 you bet. And water stream is not the only indicator, use a laser thermometer while it’s running. If it’s within proper operating temperature and not getting too hot then you’re fine 👍🏼

I’d be happy to. DM me on instagram @boatbusters with any videos / photos / issue description and I’ll help as best I can!

Thank you!

Exactly 😂

Haha I do that sometimes! My readings probably have to do with my harbor freight compression gauge….. who knows 😎

It was a legendary streak of finds in my career I must say
