Good morning. Just started watching this video- i just received this motor from a Lady that lives behind me that lost her husband last year and i was helping them out with there lawn and driveway in the winter. Would have liked to seen how the flywheel comes off though? I have ben watching a lot of videos and seen a bunch of yours- thank you for them! I am waiting on parts that deliver today or tomorrow. I am putting this motor if i get it running on a 1956 Wolverine! Just hoping to get it going and get out on the water Thank you for the video’s! Have a good day

@kalleklp7291 3 месяца назад

Excellent. :) I also run it without water (for a very short moment) as I don't want the mess in my shop. Tip: Find a matching socket and use a battery drill to turn the engine. It saves a lot of work.

@dttprice 3 месяца назад

Running it without water, even for a very short time, will damage the water pump impeller. I'm certain that T-Mike was planning to replace the impeller on this one anyway, so it didn't matter if he ran it dry for a few seconds.

@kalleklp7291 3 месяца назад

@@dttprice Yes, I know. Normally I do NOT run without water. I had no option to do so then, so a quick spray with WD 40 did the trick. I pulled the leg and looked at the impeller shortly after. It's as good as new and gets to run another season. :) Btw...starter fluid can be used briefly but only then. It's a 2 stroke and it needs lubrication from the oil in the mix. Excessive use of starter fluid will break down the oil film on the cylinder wall and could cause a stuck piston. It's about the same "balancing act" of how long is a "short moment". ;)

@jdubs1007 2 месяца назад

Thanks TMike, how long have you been a boat tech?? Great Video my friend🎉

@dalitohana6979 2 года назад

Those old style OMC red capped condensers like the ones shown in this video will burn the points everytime (they were made differently inside back then than today). They need to be switched to the New Black topped OMC condensers to help from burning the points prematurely. When I test them with Stevens St75 meter the red capped OMC condensers never pass the break down/leakage test which simulates high rpm's I always replace the red capped condensers to be safe. Hope that helps someone watching these videos. Great Videos love watching them.

Good videos. I have a 1940 Handitwin that moves freely, but it hasn't been used since before I was born in 73. I need to check for spark...here's my question...would it be ok to pour a little 2 stroke oil in the cylinders before turning over the motor just for safety's sake? I realize compression has to be tested on a dry cylinder...so I'll do that first. Am I risking cylinder damage testing on a motor that hasn't run in a while? Thanks
