@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 I've got a boat I'm purchasing and it has a Evinrude 175 VRO motor. It cranks right up and seems to be fine, after about 30 minutes or so of driving gas starts to come out of one of the carbs overflow. This is my first boat and I'd really like some pointers. Great video!!

@@stevestewart3816 Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Sounds like the float needle is not seating and it keeps filling up with fuel and overflowing. Do a good cleaning on it and replace that needle if need be. check that float too, it could be full of fuel if its cracked. Carb kits are cheap, you may want to do them all. Thanks again !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 where is a good place to get the rebuild kit

Keep the old ones. The new 4 strokes are money pits 2 strokes are way better

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Stay tuned !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Oh yeah - rebuilt the carb. Fired right up and kept on running. The carb rebuild definitely helped, but noted on the disassembly that one of the two nuts holding the carb on was loose, so it was sucking air, which I'm sure was the main source of the problem.

Sounds great!

Hey. Thanks. U 2!

Hahaha Thanks ! LMAO ! Really appreciate you watching and commenting. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Absolutely will be. I know you would be a hoot to chat with in person. Have a wonderful morning and enjoy eating those big bass. Makes me want to do some trolling for bass. It's been 35 years or more since I have done that....back when I was 10 or maybe younger. Keep on fishing and repairing.

i sell handmade reproduction fuel manifolds for that motor... $15 just screw on and go!

Glad to hear that!

Thanks!

Yep. Thanks for watching and commenting !

Hey. Thanks again for watching & commenting. Stay tuned !

Hey. Thanks. If its starting right back up the pump sounds like its working. Pull the drain bolt out of the bowl and see if there's still fuel in it. Set your slow speed needle at 1.5 turns out. Check the slow speed needle retainer, it may be bad and sucking air. They will also start to deteriorate and can clog the slow speed jets. Dont forget your timing set. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Thanks again and Stay tuned !

Appreciate that

Hey. Thanks for tuning in! Really appreciate that & Stay Tuned !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 sure will. Take care.

Hey, I followed your advice. Cleaned all the coffee grounds mixed with Nutella in the Bowls. Ha ha, next I used a piece of galvanised brake cable to do the jets. I did the thing with the torch, so the jet looked like a little sun. The 3 of them were so discusting inside. I took my time and enjoyed the process, and you were, right man, it's not hard, just a bit fiddly. The ol 75 stinger is purring like a kitten now. The ol girl was headed for the tip, but I'm giving her new life. I wish you could see her when she is all done. Thanks, brother, and if you ever visit Brisbane Queensland Australia, I'm buyin'

@@GlenB1963 Cool man! post a video on your channel. LMK!

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Just uploaded a short.

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. No real ratio, just a little of this and a little of that. But the more STP the less of the rest! It seemed to be the STP that's doing the work the rest was just filler to cover the carbs enough to soak. If I used 5 bottles of STP, probably wouldn't need the other stuff. It was something I had tried in a previous episode and I was impressed on how well the STP did. I buy a bottle every now and then for my van and one day I threw some in on a carb soak. So I tried it again and it worked! Yeah you need to clean that carb. But in reality the ethanol doesn't take a toll on these 2 strokes like it does on a 4 stroke because of the 2 stroke oil mixed in. But they do get clogged! I've seen the ethanol eat the finish off a carb bowl on a 4 stroke and they have to be replaced once that process starts, but never seen it happen on a 2 stroke. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Hey. Thanks. Yeah I have a set of the welding tip cleaners but dont know where I put them. Hahaha I'll just buy another set ! Thanks again !

Hey. Great point! Test those floats people! Thanks !

Hey. Sounds like you've been doing some homework! I did not know that. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Yeah. I gave up on those carbs a long time ago. its just easier to buy a new one. Hahaha Thanks again !

That's funny, when I took it back to my friend he said he bought another carburetor for it for 9 bucks online. I told him to let me know if he needed help installing it or let me know how it runs with the new one

Hey. Yeah one of these days I'll get one. Thanks for watching !

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yes fixed!

Hey. Thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it. Stay tuned !

Yeah baby hahaha! Thanks again

Hey. Yes doing ok other then screwing my back up, but I'll survive! Haha. Much better in a tub I bet. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 I also have rather severe hip and back pain. It bothered me especially bad today! I told somebody shoot me just shoot me. I've also been telling people that I'm scheduled for brain surgery at the veterans administration; that's the good news; the bad news is they have to go in through my rectum!

Hey. I would only take them out as a last resort, if the carb was so clogged it wont work with just a good cleaning. When taking the old ones out it can stretch the fitting and can be a real pain putting the new ones back in and getting them to fit snug. I've had to use a dab of JBweld before to help hold the new in, so I quit taking them out, same with the lead shots. Thanks

Hey. Thanks for tuning in! The main ingredient is STP Complete Fuel System Cleaner. Then I sprayed some carb & brake cleaner in it and added some gas and 2 stroke oil to keep it from evaporating. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Cool man! Sounds good!

After sitting down with it and actually taking a look at it good I believe I've got it sorted out now. On my carb see a hole to the left of my low idle screw that leads down to that tube so I think I got it. Much appreciated though everything else seems to be clear

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Spray it through the ss needle hole. The needle is what controls what comes out those holes. Putting your finger over the holes is only to feel the spray coming out hitting your finger, that way you know they're clear. Once you do the puddle test and you can see each hole drain your good to go. That hole to the left is just an overflow/breather hole. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

looked further into the comments and found my answer...STP total fuel system cleaner

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. The stuff is STP Complete Fuel System Cleaner. And some carb cleaner, brake cleaner, a little gas and 2 stroke oil to keep it from dehydrating. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Hahaha. Thanks again really appreciate it!

Hey. Thanks. Really appreciate you watching and commenting. Try marineengine.com and ebay is always good for parts too. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

What do you soak the carbs in ?

Hey. Thanks ! I really miss my old 62 18hp Johnson. One of the best motors I've ever had. The best thing I've found for soaking the carb is the STP total fuel system cleaner. The spray is just carb cleaner and brake cleaner for final rinse. Thanks for watching and commenting. Check out my 62. Stay tuned !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 yeah, that little 18hp is a lot of fun. Thanks again

Hey. Trying to get caught up on all these comments ! Its getting crazy ! I'm sure you made a choice by now, what did you end up doing? Thanks

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 I traced the port to a small hole on the silencer side of the carb so it's not under vacuum, didn't use any sealant and so far so good

Me too! Had to work all week. I'm a Handyman not Superman ! Hahaha Yeah my little workshop. Thanks again

THIS OLD OUTBOARD it’s not the size it’s the amount of tools you can use in it ! Lmao. My shop up by the house isn’t big but it’s my favorite one and it’s easier to clean !

Maddog worker hey bud ! Good to hear from ya ! How’s it going down south ? Up here is fine and all healthy ! My motor sales and purchases have slowed way down but that’s ok I’m feeling lazy ! Lol. I’m down to 1- 25 hp and 1- 20 hp and 2- 18 hp and 2- 15 hp . 6 motors is all I have for sale ! Not many ! How’s work going for you ?

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. The stuff thats really doing the job is STP Complete Fuel System Cleaner and some carb cleaner, gas and 2-stroke oil to keep it from evaporating to fast. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Thanks for tuning in!

Hey. Thanks for tuning in! Well sure, if its been sitting the high speed jets could be clogged. Once your convinced they're clean and you still have the same problem, I would recommend getting an OMC manual specific to the year/model. There's a troubleshooting section that will tell you what to check on this problem. Check ebay for a good used one. Thanks again & stay tuned !

Hey. Thanks for watching and commenting. Those are nonadjustable orifices or air bleeds. Actually there isn't anything on these type carbs that can be adjusted except the float level. Thanks again and Stay tuned !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Yes whatever that part is called.If you try to adjust the float level can it cause high idle ?

@@gjergjidano5478 no it shouldn't

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. It was a mix of carb cleaner, brake cleaner, a little gas and 2 stroke oil. But the main ingredient that really did the job was the STP Complete Fuel System Cleaner. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

hey. sounds like you still have water in the gas? you may have to clean the carbs and flush it out some more.

Hey. Yeah its best to have a good omc manual and get the proper measurements. I'm guilty of setting them by eye because I've done so many but would never have them hitting the bowl. It's not doing its job if its laying on the bottom and nowhere in the manual would it say adjust the float so it hits the bottom of the bowl. Haha. That's why its called a float! Thanks again !

Hey. Thanks. Really appreciate you watching and commenting. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

if you do enough of em', i recommend a $40 ultrasonic cleaner with heater. Put 1/4 of the pan degreaser (oil eater or whatever) and a bottle of fuel system cleaner (i use OMC carbon guard or Yamaha ring-free) and the rest water. turn the heater on and just let em' soak for a few hours, then turn on the machine for a 15 minute cycle. gets the thing looking like jewelry! Definitely take out the core/expansion plugs if you think they are clogged. don't use those cheap Chinese kits as the gaskets just disintegrate and the brass seat isn't threaded properly. factory kits only!

Hey. I've got a 78 55 waiting in the wings after this 40 is done. Really appreciate you watching and commenting. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Thanks!

Hey Gene. Thanks for tuning in. No I got lucky, everything looked really good on these. Thanks again & stay tuned !

Hey. Thanks for watching !

Hey. No I dont have anything similar but if you look at the carb schematic there are several orifices #3,#7,#13. #7 looks like an air bleed, not sure what #3 orifices are for, possibly the slow speed jets, and the #13 orifices look like the high speed jets. The manual should help, you can get a free one at boatinfo.no. You say you cant get it to run, does that mean idle or run in gear? Is this a motor you just got or you've had? Have you tested your fuel pump? Compression good? Could be as simple as an air leak in the tank hose. www.marineengine.com/parts/johnson-evinrude-parts.php?year=1984&hp=115&model=J115TLCRD&manufacturer=Johnson&section=Carburetor

If it needs new parts then put them in! If need be, check out my carb cleaning vid. "The Two most Important Things"

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. There is no replacement parts in the schematic for those parts.

Hey. The main ingredient is STP Total Fuel System Cleaner, some carb and break parts cleaner, a little gas and some 2 stroke oil so it doesn't evaporate to fast. Thanks for tuning in!

Would it be safe to use some penetrating oil like pb blast?

@@bradthomas6272et Quick Silver- power tune, a lot of professional marine people use this😉and get an oxyacetylene torch tip cleaner(little round files)

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Spraying the carb really does nothing but gets sucked into the motor and loosens up carbon that gets all over the plugs possibly fouling them out. Your best bet is to take it off and properly clean it. Go back to the basics. Give it a tune up! Get some new plugs. Check/test the fuel pump. Test for a good strong spark on all cylinders. That's where I would start. Thanks again !

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yeah guitar strings seem very popular! Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Thanks for tuning in! STP Total Fuel System Cleaner. Gray bottle. Thanks again !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Do you mean "COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM Cleaner"?

@@SoulFood4You yeah baby. totally complete! hahaha I also added some carb cleaner, brake cleaner, a little gas and some 2 stroke oil to keep it from evaporating to fast. just some "fillers". but its the STP that did the job!

Hey. Try marineengine.com and ebay has good deals sometimes. Good compression is usually anything over 100 psi and even or close to even, around 5 psi is good between cylinders. Thanks for watching !

Stay tuned !

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yes if you want to do it the hard way! Hahaha I wouldn't recommend it. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Hey. I would try ebay. Thanks for tuning in!

Hey. Thanks for tuning in! Yes believe it! Water is the enemy! Final rinse Brake or Carb cleaner. Replace gaskets if needed! Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yeah man! Good luck!

Yep. That's one of the two most important things it's all in the video!

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. No air filter! That's actually called a silencer box. No filters on outboard motors, the theory is there's no dust on the water! Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Oh boy the dreaded bog/die at throttle up. I'm having the same issue with my 60 johnson. It just started, haven't had a chance to find out why yet. I was having hard start issues but a new set of plugs took care of that but still wants to stall after its warmed up. Anyway, could be 10 different reasons why. What may seem like a fuel issue could be ignition and vice versa. Do a compression test and a spark test. Don't just look at the plug firing, use a spark tool and make sure it can jump a good 1/2 inch or more. If everything looks good with ignition and timing is set properly check the fuel system. Fire it up, warm it up and put it in gear, after it stalls out pull the plugs and see if they're wet or dry. Sometimes you have to shake the plug off onto your palm or a piece of paper to see how wet it is. If its wet its getting too much fuel and fouling out, thats also a sign of a weak spark, so do the spark test! If they're dry then not getting enough fuel. Here comes the fun part. Hahaha. Fuel pump weak, fuel filter clogged, carb float not set properly at the right height or drop, vacuum/air leak somewhere, bad reed valves. I noticed on my fuel tank line, the primer bulb was running empty not holding fuel, so check that too! Unfortunately there is no one answer to this type of issue. It's a process of elimination until you find the culprit. What year/model is it? Thanks again !

Hey. The main ingredient is STP Total Fuel System Cleaner, some carb and brake parts cleaner, a little gas and some 2 stroke oil so it doesn't evaporate to fast. Thanks for tuning in!

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. No, but people will do that. I've never heard or seen an omc manual that suggest it. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 thanks for your quick reply bud! I appreciate it!

Hey. The main ingredient is STP TOTAL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER, and some carb spray, brake clean spray, gas and 2 stroke oil to keep it from evaporating to fast. But its the stp doing the work the rest is just filler. Thanks !

Hey Charles. Sounds like your powerhead to exhaust gasket is bad and leaking exhaust fumes choking out the carb when you put the hood on. You'll have to take the powerhead completely off to replace it. Check the schematic at marineengine.com. Thanks for tuning in!

Hey. I dont see a 28 hp for 1958, www.marineengine.com/parts/johnson-evinrude-parts.php?year=1958. Does it have an ID plate on it. I have a 63 28hp RX-11. Pretty cool old outboard and can still get parts. Ebay is a good place for parts.

Hey man. Thanks for tuning in!

Hey. Really? Does it start and run? Backwards! Maybe its the wrong starter for that motor. Let me know. Thanks

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 This is the motor I got right before this virus. It haven't started yet I am waiting for a coil and power pack from ebay. But I noticed this rotation when doing a compression test, and trying to start it! So the motor should rotate clockwise correct?

@@rommel212 Yes. are you sure it wasnt just an illusion, you know like looking at fan blades it looks like its running backwards. I wouldn't try to start it if it is running backward . It could blow up! Hahaha no telling where/when its firing.

@@rommel212 its probably just an illusion. Its tricked many a person.

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Awesome thanks for the help. 👍keep it up. Hopefully mine turn out just as clean lol!

Thanks again !

Hey thanks for tuning in. If you have a newer style carb with the plastic top then you can clean them that way but if you have the old style carb there's no way unless you take out the little round plug on the top of the carb but you're just asking for trouble if you do that.. they're a real pain in the butt to get back in properly.

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 it’s a 1986 Johnson 90hp

@@JColip1776 oh a big 4 cylinder, I haven't had any experience with those carbs except once on an 85hp but that was a long time ago!

Hey . Thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it!

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yes I believe that was when I worked on that 87 70hp Johnson. I had read somewhere, that it was normal for those old motors. It's from the reed valves in a 2 stroke opening and closing. I also remember, after watching it very carefully that it only "appeared" to be coming from the air bleed when actually it was spitting out through the carb, a very tiny amount, it was like micro droplets. So it was not coming from the air bleeds. There was always a puddle of fuel in one or two of the carbs. I ended up swapping the reed valves on it and if I remember correctly it helped but didn't cure it from having the fuel puddles. I originally noticed it when looking straight at it, that made it appear to be coming from the air bleed. When I turned the motor and watched it from a side view then I could tell it was coming out the carb throat not the air bleed. Double check yours and make sure where its coming out. If it is the air bleeds you may just need to get a carb kit and rebuild. Could be worn float needle not seating or float not adjusted properly. Usually something simple like that. Thanks again & Stay Tuned !

Hey. Thanks for tuning in! Try this, check the "Link & Sync". Sounds like you may be going past full throttle and the butterflies in the carb are traveling to far. They should be perfectly horizontal at wide open throttle. If they're going past horizontal they will be pointing downward and restricting air/fuel mix which will cause it to bog until you recover the throttle position. On these carbs there is a roll pin on the end of the butterfly shaft, # 13 in the schematic, the roll pin is also an indicator to show the butterfly position. At full throttle the roll pins should be perfectly vertical which means the butterfly will be perfectly horizontal. Put the throttle in wide open position and check the roll pins position- adjust the link & sync. You may want to get an OMC service manual specific to your year/model. Check ebay for a good used one. It will save you time & money, it will have a great troubleshooting section too. It will show you proper procedures to set up the linkage synchronization, low speed stop screw and high speed stop screw, ect. Coils tend to break down once they heat up, I would think if thats the case you would know at all speeds not just wide open throttle, but never assume anything with these outboards. What may seem like a fuel issue can be ignition and vice versa. They tend to mimic each other.

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 I thank you so much! I'll give it a look and it makes sense to me! I appreciate people like you who take noobs like me under your wing

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Its possible that these things have never been adjusted. I have become close friends with the seller. It was his brothers boat who passed. He couldn't run the boat as much as he wanted to. Now I take it out once or twice a week. I typically don't push her that hard, I like to now and then just to keep everything in strong working order. I typically only run 30-40mph which it performs perfectly on. Now that you mention the link and sync, I noticed that when in idle and in gear I do have to give it a little cause cause it seems like it wants to stall. They had out a hot foot in it, so I'm wondering if during that install possibly some cabling came loose or not set correctly

@@CTRadventures Hey. Anything is possible, things get old, cables stretch out, it probably needs some servicing. That's why I say to get yourself a manual, give er a good tune-up!

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 thanks again! As I'm new to this I might have my neighbor who's a little bit more versed and carburetors and stuff see if we can take a day and try to tackle this, it might not be right away but I'll definitely get back with you. I have new spark plugs coming tomorrow cuz I pulled the other ones out and as expected on a two-stroke those things were dirty as heck so maybe it could be as simple to fix as that so one little piece of the puzzle at a time right
