I'll start by saying Thanks T-Mike! Your videos made my first outboard restoration Fun and easy. I wish I didn't need this video but I do, During the restoration of my 1940 Champion S1F Kingfisher I lost the contact points (X3438). I am now in full on search mode! I am going to try all of your tip for locating Hard to find Parts. Thanks again, Love your videos.
Sure will, my oldest that runs is a 1950 sportsman single. Sure could use a few things. This should help. I do have a pair of 52-53? 10s that I’ve not even really looked at that probably need something lol. The rest are 55 and up and like you say are a much easier. I do hoard everything I can find which helps although my collection of dual line tanks would fill the back of my suburban!! Actually scored about six serviceable ones this past summer. All with connectors!! Now where is my bag of O rings for them🤔? Cheers from Hartley Bay Ontario!..
Thanks much this is addicting. I recently bought a TD-20, not sure why but it was cheap and without dents in the tank and cowling. See if I can get er running.
I just inherited an old Johnson color of it is seafoam green I think it’s a 5 hp maybe less where do I find on the motor itself what this thing is exactly model number I guess I’m a newbie I don’t know anything about engines except they need spark and fuel ! I want to get this running and I wanna order some parts please help any suggestions are appreciated
Hey mike speaking of hard to find parts I just bought some parts for a 1956 mile master duel hose fuel tank,Will you think about doing a video on rebuilding one of these tanks or something similar any pressurized tank for the Older motors.
@@michaeljsimon you can actually spend quite a bit of money on parts for these things however I've been using one that belong to my grandpa for 20 years never had an issue pretty solid engineering I think,like the motors.
T-Mike thx! Curious in your opinion does check valves have to be taken out and one plugged off in behind carburetor reed plate? When using a diaphragm pump on the side of of cylinder plate to use vacuum as a pulse?
@@michaeljsimon I suppose I misinterpreted what you meant. I thought you were mostly referring to the availability of parts, not fully appreciating that you meant the ease by which parts are found. I am just now getting into old boats and motors, and want to learn as much as I can. I recently bought a '58 Lyman 16.5' with a '59 Johnson 35hp, and am considering a couple other old wood boats with motors of similar vintage. But, after watching your vid, I am inclined to avoid any motors manufactured before 1958--at least, I thought that I should, perhaps, avoid those motors. As an old boat novice, I know I have much to learn. Thanks for posting your vids.

Thank you for giving some hope to get my Mark 58A functional ! Been getting nothing but negative input recently ! Thanks👍
I’ve seen your reconditioned motors on Craigslist some time back. You do fantastic work for some old gems! Great work!
Thanks so much for your help T Mike. Y'all this guy is awesome and will definitely help you if he can. Truly Genuine

Good information there
Time flies
Merci Ti-Michel, tes videos, c'est du bonbon !
Good to know thanks mike
Thank you T mike.
I have a 1955 Elto 22 HP -I believe it was made by Gale (OMC) - is it the same as an Evinrude/Johnson 25HP with a smaller bore?
Not sure about that.
About 1955 and up I find are relatively easy to find (here in Canada) so I stick to those years...

There should be a metal tag on the side of the bracket with a model number.
Looking for a dual spark wire coil for a 1947 evinrude sportwin 3.3hp. Any ideas would be helpful
Im curious....is Johnson/evinrude parts interchangeable for a 1956 15hp?
Yes

Just picked up 4 pressurized tanks - I will make a video soon.
@@michaeljsimon awesome thanks

How about a video on 1956 Evinrude 30hp fuel pump conversion?
Sorry I don’t work on motors bigger than 20 hp / conversion should be the same.
T-Mike thx!

I have JW-10 1952-54 always curious to see you do something on it😉
@@curtisballer688 yes when converting from 2 line to single line.
Why is it that the year for easy-to-find vs hard-to-find is 1958?
Marine engine.com does not have diagrams for pre 1958.
