Video

I remember this vid. Its so old

Awesome video very clear tutorial

Good video I just picked up the same motor!

Buenos días tengo un motor johnson 25hp 2 tiempo a platino año 1976 lo quiero poner a cdi

These Evinrude/Johson motors are so nice to look at, work on, and run. I just wished Evinrude/Johnson would have put a natural clutch, they would have been even greater. Thanks for sharing.

Do you happen to know the dwell angle? If you could spin it with a drill motor you could get the points perfect by setting the dwell.

Nice video ! How do you check MAX TIMING Or set max timing Is there a stop somewhere

Nnice

I just picked one up today. A 1984, Took me a bit to adjust the two needles. Seems to work nice also, but doesn't idle that slow.

What is it a camping stove

Can you send me the contact information to the person that repaired your Mercotronic unit? Thank you, Mike

I have the same engine, have it running great. Now I want to repaint it but can't find the color for the lower unit.

Is this an alternative to using the timing fixture tool you used on your other video? Or do you have to do both methods, using the timing fixture and the way you did it on this video using feeler gauges? If it's either or which method do you prefer?

Hi, I need some help, the points are new, the coils and condensers also new, have continuity between coils and spark plug connectors, did the alignment as you explained (thanks for the video!!) but still only have spark on the lower, not on the top. Switch and spark plugs are also new. Any idea what could be? My engine is a 40hp Johnson 1970 (40ES70A) Thanks in advance

great work one thang you should add is MiG plate should be full advanced on hash mark wen setting point .thank you great info.

Thanks for this video man. I couldn't afford the tool, but I was able to use the flywheel. It has 2 timing marks on the bottom edge. Just have to take it off and put it on a few times. I appreciate your doing this. It helped me a lot.

Still got this @cajuncookone ?

It is a good idea to pull your plugs so you don't get the back pressure from the pistons.

Porque motor everrude tiene buena chspa i no quier entender qué pasa hai

How do I know which coil goes to which cylinder if I'm standing behind the motor

Another good tutorial. My daughter and I used my old stove at an antique power show. It had been years since I used it. She was sixteen and had never seen it. It took us a while but we eventually got the soup cooked. Are you still playin with old outboards? My daughter and I take old outboards and her garden tractors to the power show. It’s a good place to hand out info for the AOMCI. Take care, it was good seeing some videos from you again.

Thanks for the tutorial. It’s been a long time since I used one.

what oil mix did you use?

Good job great information

wrong

thank you bud for ur presentation helped me a lot since i dont know anything about small motors and i had purchased a 1974 evinrude 6 horse a while back kept getting one sparkplug firing while other wasnt ordered what i needed now if someone can post a evinrude small motor parts or can direct me to one so i can look if all parts are there on my motor

What washers are used where the packing nut goes?

Looked everywhere trying to locate one of these outboard motor ignition timing setting fixtures. Anyone know where I can find one?

Good informative older video. And his other ones as well! But note about sanding the points: use a fine grit 300 sandpaper give or take, and just dip a folded piece wet with alcohol and sand like he shows here so the points are CLEAN & DRY. Don’t touch them with fingers or any body oils; it can affect low idle/speed quality. Insures good consistent spark across the gap at all speeds. Not criticizing him here- his vids are great for noobs or anyone because of how he comes across to you in showing & demonstrating tuneups etc. He has a great vid on setting timing with a meter. Copy that and your motor will just sing.

Is this how you gap the points

At what point do you set the point gap??

Now I’m not afraid of taking it apart and not sure of what I’m doing

Don’t get any better most information I’ve found anywhere thanks

Great video’s I’m getting into old Johnson outboards thanks for all your experience great help

Where can I buy that tool?

How do I contact Frank for the ring?

Great little motor! What size John boat you pushing there- I have couple these old 3hp I got from my Dad - Been sitting for many years - Could you recommend Good place to get parts? Also one of these is '58 Evinrude & The other is same you have here '67 folding lower unit Curious about how much oil to run I them? Thanks for video -

Great video, but you might have pointed out that torqueing the flywheel 40lbs is for a little 3hp. Would be different for larger motors with larger diameter cranks, flywheels and threads. However, that not withstanding, I am obliged that you went to the trouble of making this video available to the masses. It is a very good tutorial.

Great video... very informative... Thnx...

hello! im working on my 6hp evinrude fisherman from the 60's, im wondering when i have it started and go for a trip then shut it off it wont start back up util its cooled down. i have my guesses that it is the coils that causes this because the protective plastic is broken on them. i have already checked the fuel line, fuel pump and carburetor and they are all fine. to note is that i have also switched sparkplugs and that was the first time it started before i did anything else. it also has bad idleing and shuts it self off after give or take 20 seconds if i dont give it any throttle. also tried the air to fuel mixer but it dosent "seem" to do anything at this moment. Happy for any help! :)

Is there ANY CHANCE.... I could get on a short phone call! Please... your videos have helped me so much. I just need a tip on timing.

Wow! I've fought my '71 Fisherman many times and could never get the sight lines right in the middle. Now both are set so as it looks like I'm looking down rifle sights with the timing light on it! So much smoother, a lot less smoke, and the idle has never held at such a low rpm. Thanks for this great video! BTW, The point gap now is at about .035. A meaningless measurement for sure.

This was a missing link to what I was looking for!... Still no spark ☹️.

I've got a bone in my foot

Where can I find this timing fixture today can help

Im getting continuity no matter if my points are touching or not

That sucks to spin when the prop goes out like that

Awesome videos for these older but gorgeous motors. Thanks a lot for making them!

I need some help with my motor. where are you located?

I just finished cleaning up my 1936 Johnson 100. Looks like the only difference in 100 and 110 is square tiller handle on the 100 vs the round one on the 110 you show. I also put on a new spark plug wire, but had to get another old coil as mine was intermittent. Your two videos are a great tutorial on how to start and run one. I haven't pulled the cord yet, but look forward to doing so soon. Thanks!
