FREE!!! OUTBOARD WILL IT RUN???? 

The best parts are when your Dad and Grandpa were with ya. Love to see it!

If I lived anywhere close to Iowa I would ask your grandpa to adopt me as a grandson. Both of my grandfathers died before I was born. He looks like such a cool guy.

Finally; someone else with the same passion for clean gas tanks lol.

On your gas cap is a vent, it should be open when you run the engine. With it closed the carb can't draw fuel.

Hola, buen contenido, mi abuelo tiene uno, lo quiero reparar el plato está pegado prácticamente, es un tecumseh pero no se el modelo ni el año. Pero se nota que es antiguo como el suyo, su video me ayudará bastante un ya que existe poca información de estos motores

You should have either changed the lower unit oil when you saw water, or at least drained out the water by turning the engine so the screw is at the bottom and loosening the screw so that the water drips out, then closing it when the dripping water changes to oil. But once you started the engine, it probably blended and put an end to your ability to drain off the water. I bet a bit of graphite powder would help in that gear box and might even keep lubricating in the presence of water. The gear box has no filter to interfere with lubricating solids like graphite, molybdenum and/or PTFE.

I doubt you needed to fool with that diaphragm. they can still function even when pretty stiff if they are still adjusted well. I would have adjusted the idle screws to get it running and keep it running, with fuel detergent and hope the detergent, heat and vibration adequately cleans out the carb. You probably made the hole in the diaphragm by bending it around, though maybe not.

That is not a water cooled engine it is air-cooled what is coming out at the bottom is the exhaust and check that prop real carefully and make sure it does not say grease for the prop

So glad to see you today. Needed a change. Always entertaining. Glad gramps passed some of that stuff down to you.

Another great video brother. Love grandpa too. He's a world of knowledge. Oh and stuff,,,,he has a lot of stuff too. Lol.. Which hey,, when you need parts, just go to grandpa's.

Reminds me of my old mini-bike with a 3 horse Tecumseh. Hard to start but ran good once running

LOL 'Smells like it belongs in a retirement home' Love it :-)

You gotta great dad and gpa. Cherish them why you have them. Wish I still had both my parents

Hot damn, so excited when I see you upload! Also, being from Wisconsin, a lot of our old engines are tecumseh's. Hell, I lived in the town where their headquarters were.

Love your content! Keep it coming!

Eska ob's are air-cooled Tecumseh engines mounted to a Clinton lower end. Except for the 9.9 and 15 hp which were liquid cooled Tecumseh engines. They all have impellers though. (Some smaller Eskas like the 3 and 3.5 just have a ram tube that carries water up from the prop wash). The air cooled ones just use the impeller to spray down the base of the power head so the lower crank seal doesn't burn up. When the engine is running water should mist out of the two relief holes at the middle of the leg. It should be a pretty good mist too, it should soak your hand within a couple seconds. The engine is mostly air-cooled but it will not be long for this world without the water to cool the base of the powerhead. Some have diaphragm carbs, others are typical float-style carbs. For the diaphragm carbs you just gotta rebuild them. They're just tecumseh engines so most carb kits are still around. The float style ones will usually always gravity feed from the tank fine. But to use the external tank connector on ones that have it there is a small orange duck-bill element that is in the back of the carb. It sees vacuum from the crankcase via a passage in the intake manifold. That vacuum alternately actuates that duck-bill which draws fuel from the tank. Really finicky, but it does work. Eska was in business from the early sixties to 1987. They manufactured outboards for many retailers like Ward's Sea King and Sears' Ted Williams and later Gamefisher outboards. (When Eska went under the Gamefishers from 1988 on were made by Chrysler/Force.)

Good, a mustache..... Now bring back the mullet

Makes me want to get the Johnson 5.5hp sea horse out of my loft and get it running again, I've had it for 4 or 5 years now.

Great video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻did anybody see what he has the motor sitting on and the signs on the fridge? Honey supers👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Here from JYD. Congrats on the engagement!!

I love this kid, he's a cop, but so much more. lol

I know nothing of Eska but it looks like an air cooled Tecumseh engine; pretty neat looking outboard.

Tecumseh kind of a cold-hearted engine. They start better in the cold than a Briggs & Stratton I think that's why they put it on my snow blower

John drags home shit he doesn’t need

Old tecumseh good new tecumseh doesn't exist because there no longer around lol. Love your videos because kind of like what I film. Good going bud

My dad has an old Ted Williams Sears boat motor made by eska and they're fantastic little engines

With all the toting and pulling I don't think there's a better free exercise machine in the Midwest. Hehe.

Hey don't knock the power. I run a 1.2 hp Tanaka motor and it will push some.

Boat engines A sawhorse an a 55 gal drum with water For cooling system.

Brother I feel you!! Just brought home a leblond lathe. Got a couple of those eskas too.

Hi John!! Long time no see😎

This made me think of when we were kids (ok young drunk adults) we would hook an old ww2 era boat to a 4-wheeler and drag around the yard at high speeds. Good times. The boat also was useful in the nearby pond for frog gigging.

Love the videos, keep them coming! I'll watch them all, come hell or high water!

9.9 - 15 hp eska s were water cooled 3 -7.5 were water cooled . Sold by Hardware stores across usa and Canada. Hardware stores have there on labeling for there version. Grat motors

Was made for eski by Techumca , sold by Sears catalog then later at Sears department stores also labeled Ted Williams

Dang, cleaned up right nice!

Always get a kick out of your videos !!

You find the craziest stuff I like it !

Sounds like a good excuse to get a boat…

Keep them coming, sir.

I just got one of those. You probably need to clean the carb and get a new spark plug. The ones the come in them are cheap and not really very good. I'm looking for a larger prop for mine. The ones that come on them are so small and wimpy, I think it can run a bigger one.

The diaphragm has to be able to move from atmospheric pressure differential! It's reached its best before date many moons ago John. Replace the diaphragm and that engine will work great! I have the same one just a few years newer and it's an amazing little engine.

Time to buy a boat,John. 😂

great job bud!

Lol I legitimately thought there was a baby in the background crying 😂

Hey John love the videos

Saw you on JYD and came over to sub.

It probably is similar to my Tanaka. It is air cooled and doesn't need water!

I've heard of "Eska toss" competitions at Antique Ourboard Club meetings....

Getter done

I had a 5HP ESKA ran great but I could ever get the water pump working correctly. Finally gave it away.

John dragons home shit he doesn’t need 😂🤣

👍👍👍👍👍

Wow the only guy in the world that hates tecumsehs

Eska is an iowa based company. For these outboards they used tecumseh engines.

love your channel but the wrench hunting was a little bit excessive but its all good though

Bring back the mullett please

Best content EVER!!!

Algorithm comment :D Keep up the great work!

I really doubt you’ll even consider this …. I’ve got a 96 explorer that needs a starter and cables replaced. I’ve got the parts and tools but am not healthy enough anymore to fix it myself. I love to go fishing and well, my fishing truck is broken…. I have all the parts and everything. I’m just not able to do what I used to do ten years ago. Can you maybe please help me?

I see you couldn't find a sawhorse!

If you decide to get rid of the outboard, what do you want for it?

Most 3 hp lawn mower engines are air cooled ie that engine will run without water

FOR FREEEEEEEEE!!! 😂

Fan cooled engine no water needed dude

The f is going on at 6:40 lol

Vee Bo must go

Whats a vebo

There are no new tecumsehs

Sell me the engine my man!!!!

Do something about that music volume please.

I had to stop watching the music hurt my ears bye !

Stop acting this way or you won't last in video long !
