    I pulled on my 61-year-old Johnson last night and it worked perfectly

    I pulled on my Johnson yesterday for 1st time since last year in July. She fired 2nd pull. Purred like a kitty all day & spit me out 4 juvenile walleye🎣

    I seen those Chinese starters on E-bay try one I thought about it myself.Some of Marinengines stuff is priced ridicuouly other parts cheap go figure.Check the piston rings for being stuck out pull the intake bypass covers and see if they move in and out with a blunt tool......they have to flex minutely for proper compression and release...........Sorry I couldnt resist commenting its in my blood,LOL!

      Yeah their up to $50 now. Anyway spoiler alert here. Took the cover off yesterday when Capt Ron was here, he was suppose to bring his drill to turn this motor but forgot it, anyway rings/piston looked brand new, yes they move with a blunt tool, you must be psychic! now don't tell anyone about the rings, its a secret for the next episode. Hahaha! My big harbor freight drill doesn't have enough guts to turn a 20/25 with the plugs in. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

    Check the model number you might have a 25 hp and the recoil spring for a 40 hp will fit in that starter and it’s twice as thick also the starter where the rope rewinds is oblong and needs to line up with the marks on the pulley

    • @THISOLDOUTBOARD1
      @THISOLDOUTBOARD1  Před měsícem

      Hey. No it's a 20. The spring is crap and not wound tight enough . I think it my have been broken at some point then reused. I'll tear it apart and redo it. Thanks again !

  • @alberthafner2194
    @alberthafner2194 Před měsícem

    Hey I may have missed it, but is the starter pulley timed correctly? The elipticle shape makes quite a difference in pull effort if the marks are aligned.

    • @THISOLDOUTBOARD1
      @THISOLDOUTBOARD1  Před měsícem

      Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yeah the pull starter is fine with the plugs out, the spring could use a little tightening. Thanks again !

    Like anything electromechanical, if it sits unused for awhile, it don't want to work.

  • @mikedurhan9941
    @mikedurhan9941 Před měsícem

    AlbertHalfner2194 is correct (in his comment below). If you have not already done so, make sure your rope starter is timed properly - the rope pulley in the recoil starter being elliptical. Oft times someone will replace the rope and have no clue that it should be timed in such a way that you gain torque during the compression pull due to the elliptical shape of the rope pulley.

      Hey. Yeah, never checked it out good, just assumed it was ok. Definitely not wound enough. Thanks again !
