In this video I am giving you guys an inside look at how I find deals on old outboard boat motors and how I fix a lot of common issues that they have. I cover the things to check with no tools before you buy, how to test spark and compression, replacing parts like fuel pumps, ignition coils, and cleaning carburetors. I also show you how to make motors more presentable for sale!

Nice work and presentation. I flip a few outboards too. Specialize in 1980's Honda 4 strokes - they are pretty much bulletproof. One thing that I do to give the buyer confidence and get top dollar is to pressure test the lower unit. You might have to make your own fitting to screw into the lower unit fill holes. Then use a bicycle pump to pump it up to around 10psi. Then soapy water to to check all the oil seals for any leaks. There's a lot of cash to be make on these old motors. I find that most of them have been sitting in grandpa's garage for many years and just need the carb cleaned, an impeller and a new fuel filter

@BoatBusters Месяц назад

@@jimdinthed absolutely! Never done pressure tests, but would be great to add to the presentation. Good advice!! Also those old Hondas are awesome, just tricky to find certain parts for for me!!

@bebeslife4519 Месяц назад

Hi I’d like some advice about an old Honda b100 that I picked up. When plugs are removed, I can’t seem to get any spark from them. I tried shooting some fuel down the carb and pulling with no signs of life. Is there a points ignition underneath the belt pulley? How do I remove that?

@Lhopsecker Месяц назад

Most creative ask for subscribers I've seen in a while! You got me! Here's a question for you: if the motor fails either the compression test or spark test, what does that mean? Do you turn down buying it, or use that to negotiate a cheaper price? If you fix any that don't have compression or spark, I'd love to see a video on that too.

@BoatBusters Месяц назад

@@Lhopsecker Haha I appreciate that!! And those are great questions. If the motor fails to pass a compression test, I personally don’t buy it at all. Now somebody that’s into restoration for fun will likely be able to buy it for next to nothing with no compression, however to me this is just as much of a business as it is a hobby and the time spent rebuilding a powerhead is not worth it at all (and those parts are not cheap)… if the engine fails a spark test, I welcome that with open arms! It usually will let me negotiate a better deal and spark issues are not hard to fix when you know what to look for. Especially on small outboards like this one. My next video will have more details on diagnosing no spark!

Iv fixed a handful of those small outboards. Usually the Mercs piss a steady stream but I find the older Evinrude-Johnsons trickle. Looks like you had lots of water puking out the exhaust.
