I greatly enjoy the way you explain to your listeners, start to finish. Also, there is so many DIY's that the only way they seem to want something is to get it new instead of bringing something back to life. Keep them coming, I'm hooked on your videos. Thanks
My boat has 2 of these, these are some of the most bulletproof motors made by GM. Great work
I must have watched you tear down and rebuild a dozen carbs, Michael. It never gets old, I learn something new every time, and you make it look effortless. Great job, and thanks!
Wow, thanks, that' some mighty fine words there, thanks for that, thanks for watching
Great video Michael. I bet you had a wet spot in your shorts when that thing popped off!!!! Absolutely superb. Like when you adjusted the valves with the engine NOT running, you can get a dead on perfect ignition timing by hooking up a DVOM or a simple test lamp into the wire from the dist to the coil. After setting the point gap, turn the crank to 6 deg before TDC with #1 on compression stroke. then simply turn the dist housing till the instant the light turns off, and lock it down. Ignition timing will be spot on. Oh, of course reconnect the wire to the coil. This is going to be a great series!!!!
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching
I can’t wait to see this engine in the other boat on the water!!! It will be fast and smooth!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Fingers crossed! thanks for watching
Wow that motor purs like a kitten , nice job
It does! can't wait to put it on the water. Thanks for watching.
Michael thank you for showing me more Boats and Motors and outboard I love it Michael and we Like to learn from you 😁
Glad you like them! thanks for watching
Such a sweet running engine, it sure doesnt seem like it has many hours on it. Glad I was able to help out!!
Thanks again! and thanks for watching
That engine can't wait to get in old Blue! Clear the prop!
For sure for sure, thanks for watching

Any time! thanks for watching
That thing sounds just amazing.
It's going to be a good one for sure. thanks for watching
That thing runs smooth as a sewing machine
it really does, thanks for watching
What a beautiful sounding engine. I knew it was in good hands with you.
Yes indeed! I love it, got it pulled out of the boat today, getting ready to put it into a boat I call Big Blue, thanks for watching
Another 'best 200$ ever spent'... Good job, and nice vid. Thanks.
Glad you liked it! thanks for watching
as far as a power valve tool just take a cut off wheel to a sacrificial screwdriver. several small engine manufactures recommended simple green in the ultrasonics. as a hint put your small parts in a ziplock baggie filled with cleaning solution. squeeze the air out and seal it toss the bag with the parts in the cleaner. it works great.
thanks for the tips and thanks for watching
Great Stuff!!! You could eliminate the points down the road if so desired! CHEERS from Here!!!
I may convert it to a petronics ignition. Thanks for watching
Great video man it sounds good . Can’t wait to watch ya takin it out and putting in its new home . As always Sir thanks for the ride along and Keep’em coming 👍👍👍👍
Thanks and thanks for watching
Genius!
Awesome, thanks for watching
Hi Michael, just wondering what fuel pump did you use for the 165. Thanks again I love the videos. There extremely helpful.
gday mate thats a winner , i laughed when it fired up i dont think anyone watching would have thought it would fire that quick . who would take a welsh plug out and just leave it without replacing it also just wondering if the bolt had a sensor for manifold heat on it to let you know if it was not getting water cooling to it , anyway that damb thing starts better than my car excellent video and seeing you have some good luck with this engine .
Never thought about a temp sensor, not a bad place for one, haven't seen one on an old boat like this before, thanks for watching and commenting
That intake/exhaust manifold is very problematic for cracking and letting water into the engine. A stuck open, removed or malfunctioning thermostat is thought to be one of the problems. The fact that it has survived this long is amazing. If that casting breaks there’s no repair it because it simply won’t last. If you can find a replacement, it’ll make a small block Chevy look like the better option. The engine is great but the merCruiser manifold sucks.
You can put real small parts in a small tupperware w/ solution in it then put that container in the US cleaner. Works great & you don't have to slosh around in the big tub for small stuff.
thanks for the tip and thanks for watching
Michael- this is so helpful!!! These engines are so rare now there’s few people talking about them. I’m working on the exact same 165. It’s running good at idle but at higher RPM it has a ‘miss’. Would this be timing? How to check and adjust timing? I’m also having a hard time getting my oil pressure gauge to work. Got a new sensor but the wires don’t seem to be hooked up correctly. New fuel pump like yours has an extra brass port out the bottom what is this for?
Glad it was helpful! I think it is for a drain in case the fuel pump diaphram blows out, thanks for watching
Michael, the orange wire to the oil pressure sensor on the driver’s side of the engine, where does it go? Mine is missing this connection. Also could you please send me the scan of the engine specs you have? Your video is so helpful!!
You really scored with that engine im curious what the compresion is on that motor that sounds like a great idea for a video
Already started part 3, 140-150psi thanks for watching
Aaaaah. The check ball. I’m rebuilding the same carb and my ball was stuck as well. I ultimately had to drill a tiny hole behind the ball and used a dental pick to force it out. Tiny whole filled with airline epoxy. Hope it works.
Nice work!
Can you do a video on how to replace pull string, and maybe how to rebuild lower unit of 1950s 20hp Merc 200
I don't currently have a 20hp Merc to demo that repair with. Thanks for watching
That gives me an idea take the 140 carb and put a 165 jet in it more power
It will just make your engine run too rich, good luck, thanks for watching
What size is the clear fuel line ? Need to place a order. Thanks for all the info as always
I was using 1/4" but I would not put it on as a permanent thing, thanks for watching
Thanks for the reply I was going to run it from my main line connected to the fuel pump in feed and factory hardline to carb that’s the way it looks like it’s been real factory on the Glastron 172
Ooops, I forgot one quick question. The new silver fuel pump you just installed on the 165 has what looks like a metal "bail" on top, as though its holding a fuel filter in a can to the top of the pump. Is that right?
Did the carb have a tag cross to year
Please tell me the part # for the carb kit you use and where you got it from ...I have to rebuild the exact carb on my 165. Thanks

So Micheal at RMD was just cleaning the Points on Engine made it Start ?
Yes, and carb and fuel pump, what can I say, I kinda know what I'm doing sometime, thanks for watching
Michael what did you do make it turn over I saw video
Used a hand held starter switch, thanks for watching
When things are write things are write.
It all came together, thanks for watching
Thank you for your vid. I've been going nuts trying to find something to watch. I'm done looking now.
Hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching
@@Michaelsbackyardmarinaslight lifter noise? Or am i just getting old.
Hi buddy it's me again I have a 1974 Evinrude 9.9 When I am troying. It will run for a while then it starts to miss and it will stall what could that be and What do you mix your gas at when you run your old evinrude motors
Amsoil two stroke for outboards 50:1 or 2.6oz per gallon. Thanks for watching
This is fake. A real application of silicone on a freeze plug would result in. Silicone everywhere, LOL. I like your Videos
Very knowledgeable
I like to work as neat as I can, thanks for watching
