Hey there Johnnyrude I recently picked up a 1970 evinrude 6hp fisherman and l love the thing. Just did full ignition service, lower unit oil and she runs immaculate there’s just something about older outboards that I find so cool.Without your videos I probably would have just bought a newer mercury 6hp but not only did I save loads of money for a very reliable engine but I also found my new love for vintage outboards. Wish you the best and stay safe. Would love to see more evinrude vids lol
I love those little 6hp Evinrudes. They're wonderful little small lake fishing motors and very reliable. I know exactly what you mean about there being something about these older outboards. The newer ones are a lot like newer cars. They all look the same and are way too "plasticky" and complicated inside. It is flattering to hear i was your inspiration for your love of vintage outboards. I promise there will be more Evinrude videos to come. I have more of them awaiting service. Thank you for your compliments and thanks for watching!
Thank you. I am very glad to have this one finished and be able to get it back to its owner. He's going.to.be happy to have it ready to go for next season . Thanks for watching!
It was a nice little motor. Good power for such a small motor and very easy to carry. I know the owner was very happy to have it running properly again. Thanks for watching!
They're good little motors. Small, lightweight, good power for the size. They run very nicely. I'm pretty sure the ones with the internal tank can be easily converted. The pulse port should be there with a plug in it. Add hoses, pump, fitting, and maybe a bracket for the fitting and it should be set. Thanks for watching!
hi how does the external tank fitting work does it go straight to the carb or you put a pump on it ? could let me know please due to im looking at doing same thing
Started an old one of these in my garden today. Is the water tell a spit almost or should it be running. I can see 6 small exhaust holes spitting some water. Not to sure I want to run to long without checking 😉😉
Thanks. This one was quite a challenge to figure out the cooling issues. I have been working on this one off and on for 8 months or so. Thanks for watching!
Great video... One question, have not been able to obtain a service manual... After taking out the front and rear case screws where are the bolts that hold the lower cover to frame...thanks...
Thank you. I believe the bolts you are looking for are on the underside of the cast aluminum shroud frame. The front and rear screws allow the lower cowl to be removed. Then there are screws that hold the recoil and fuel tank housing to the top of the aluminum ring. Then there are more screws that hold that ring to the powerhead. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
What type of silicone would you for the power head gasket. Ive got an overheating issue. Water pump in lower unit pumps but not cooling engine. Im ripping the powerhead apart if i can get to those rusty bolts! 2 are stuck in deep areas. Ugg. Is gasket sealer even necessary?
The best bet is to not use any sealer on the powerhead base gasket. Make sure the sealing surfaces are clean and use the gasket dry. If there is a persistent leak, a light coating of Permatex Hi-Tack or Johnson Evinrude gasket sealing compound (which does not harden) can be used. Silicone is very bad for plugging up passages in the cooling system. Good luck with your motor. Thanks for watching!
That's a good runner there Ben. You did a lot of work to her but it's good for awhile. Althought it aint pretty she will be a good fishing motor for someone.
It did take a lot to get it back onnthe water, but its happy again. It will be going back to its owner on Sunday. He will be glad to get it back for next season. Thanks for watching, Seth.
This motor has low speed adjustment as it only adjustable mixture control. The high speed on this engine is a fixed jut innthe carburetor. The low speed should be adjusted to attain best idle quality after the engine is up to operating temperature and while being run on a boat under load for best results. Thank you and thanks for watching!
these motors were designed and made in belgium which accounts for their styling design.. looks sort-of like a french car. oddly though they seem to have been made with internal and external fuel tanks, and some are rated 3hp or 4hp but are otherwise identical. i have 2 of these, a 3hp johnson and a 4hp evinrude and other than the decals and paint color they are identical in every way, the casting numbers on all of the castings are the same. both have internal fuel tanks but i wish they didn't.. it's convenient for a shore boat or dinghy but it's a pain to run out of gas and have to refill it with a gas can at sea.
Depending upon what the motor is and how bad the lower unit is, i may suggest finding a decent used lower unit and just replacing the bad one nn your motor. Without knowing what motor you have or where you are located I would have no way of answering whether or not I could fix it.
To connect to a remote fuel tank, you will need a fuel pump, fuel fitting, amd the lines to connect the fitting to the pump and the pump to the carburetor. The fuel pump mounts to the side of the block. Look up the motor on Marineengine.com and you will be able to see which parts you need, find the part numbers, and even buy the parts there if you like. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
I'm not sure what your canoe is rated for. It usually takes a pretty large canoe to get above a 3hp rating. That said, as long as the weight of the motor doesn't put the stern too deep, you could try it. You don't have to use all the horses at once. Inhabe a 17 foot Alumacraft flat back canoe and it's only 3hp rated. The later version of this motor is a 3hp, though. No change at all other than the hp rating changed from crankshaft to prop shaft, so this motor I would run on that canoe. Ultimately, it's your call. If you use judgment, it should work OK. Thanks for watching.
The lower cowl needs do be removed first. Once the lower is removed, the upper is held on with four bolts if memory serves. The recoil comes off with the upper. Do not try to take the center screw out of the top. That holds the recoil together and you will end up having the fun of putting that back together. I hope that helps.
Started an old one of these in my garden today. Is the water tell a spit almost or should it be running. I can see 6 small exhaust holes spitting some water. Not to sure I want to run to long without checking 😉😉
Yes, the spray from the six exhaust relief holes is the only water tell tale on these motors. It is a heavy mist only. No stream comes out anywhere. It sounds like yours is doing OK. Thanks for watching!
If it runs only when choked, it is almost 100% a dirty, partially clogged carburetor. A thorough cleaning and a new kit and fuel hose and it will probably run nicely again. If ethanol blended fuel gets left in the carburetor for extended periods of time, it can be very detrimental to them. Most are just gummed up or dirty. Thanks for watching!
What is the official name of that aluminum-strip-with-rubber-insert that usually is seen along the deck/hull main seam on a fiberglass boat? I keep trying to look up various wordings of “boat bumper strips” and I’m not seeing that stuff...
There is a pulse type fuel pump fastened to the side of the engine block. Your motor, having the on board fuel tank, likely has a screw type plug in the pulse port for the pump. To add the remote tank system to your motor you would need the pump itself, the fuel fitting that mounts to the outside of the motor, amd the lines that go from the fuel hose fitting to the pump amd the one from the pump to the carburetor. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Yes the flywheel nut is tight my 1988 90 hp evinrude 4:56 has some also been that way for years now so maybe rollers have that little bit of loser tolerance no performance issues
Great little engine! Mine had only one spark, but after some adjusting and cleaning, the ignition seems fine again. Starts and runs, and it cools fine. Once warmed up it doesn't keep running nicely, I suspect the idle screw. Do you know how many turns (according to the original guidelines) it should be off?
The low speed needle has an initial setting on one turn out from lightly seated. It should be fine tuned on a boat on the water after the engine is up to operating temperature. It will most likely need to be leaned out slightly from the initial setting, but could go either way depending on conditions. Thanks for watching!
Hi Johnny I’ve got one of these but with an inbuilt fuel tank. I can’t for the life of me figure out where the tell tale is. I can’t tell if mine is pumping water or not. Could you tell me where the jet comes from on these old engines please?
@@therealcaptaininflatable As long as it is misting fairly strongly from the relief holes and the powerhead isn't getting too hot to touch, it is cooling fine. If it has been a few seasons since the impeller has been changed, or you do not know when it was last replaced it is a good idea to replace it. These use a pretty small impeller and should be changed every few seasons as a preventive measure.
It is water cooled. There are exhaust relief holes partway down the leg just above the water line. There is a mist that will spray out of those holes. There is no tell tale stream on these motors. Thanks for watching!
The front and rear screws should come out fairly easily. The lower shroud seam slides apart. Once that is separated it can be removed. This allows access to the screws that hold the top / recoil on from underneath. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
@@JCFISHING2148 It was a great running little motor. It was wonderful once I figure out the cooling issue and got it fixed. I spent a lot of time chasing that one down.
@@oldjohnnyrude8404 It needs a impeller, points, and a carb clean. Its been sitting since 2018 and does not have spark now. It go put away because it was not pumping water but when it was running it was a screamer! It pushed a 14ft micro-craft deep v with 2 guys and gear on the Detroit river 14.5mph.
@@jakecarriveau4100 That's all stuff I will do on a 110. We might be able to work something out. Thise impellers usually don't last over a fee years at best in those. They're quite small and crammed into the pump housing.
Boy, that little SOB put up a fight....Did those newer style coils split open, or just not check out right with meters?? Sure hope they didn't split open like the older ones. I never liked these engines when the came out in 79, the CDII ignition was "overkill" and added unnecessary wiring/clamps, etc. Started liking them more when OMC ditched the CDII in favor of good ol universal mag, got rid of the integral tank, and added the neutral shift...Trying to blindly guide that shift rod down into the tiny hole in the gearcase is quite the trick though....What was the plastic that got caught in the exhaust cover, melted plastic impeller housing? Sure sounds nice now though...
Yes, this little guy was a challenge. The newer style coils did split open. One was badly split. The other was just starting to crack, but it was not worth leaving in. They had the light green plastic covering. I agree with you that the CDI ignition woth all its clamps.and connectors is overkill on these little motors. The universal magneto is ideal. Less is more on these. The remote tank is better in my opinion as well. The neutral shift is a nice feature on these though. It is kind of cold blooded and being able to allow warm up time in neutral is great. Getting the shift rod lined up is a little tricky. I got pretty good at it before I finished though. I had this gearcase off four or five times and the powerhead off at least as many times. I'm still not sure what the piece of plastic was that made its way into the water passages. I thought it may have been from the impeller housing also, but nothing was apparent when I replaced it. It was a fairly large piece considering how it had to have traveled and where it ended up. In any case, I sure am glad it is done and turned out this well. I was starting to doubt it would for a while. Thanks for watching, Don!
They're nice little motors. Light weight with decent power. What does it do when it dies? It is slowly dying like it is starving for fuel? Does it lose one cylinder then the other? Does it die all at once like hitting a switch? It may be related to the spark plug wires and the rotation of the magneto plate.
I do not understand what you mean by "caps". Are you referring to the lower shroud? If so, yes, I do have it. I just had not put it back on for this test run. Thanks for watching!
LOL. There's noting to tighten the screw against since I ran it without the lower cowl in this video. The screw it captured so.it won't fall out. It got tightened when the lower cowl was put back on once I was satisfied it was going to keep running properly. Thanks for watching!
What's new? This motor or the melted plastic piece in the water jacket blocking the flow? I had never seen that before either. I've had bugs in the galleys of the midsection under the powerhead do it. Never had plastic in there though. Thanks for watching!
@@theeasybeats5913 This model is really a pretty nice little motor for a kicker or a backup. Pretty lightweight and compact, has a neutral clutch, simple magneto ignition system. They look a little funny, but they do what they do.

@@user-dr2fe4wg3n Are you in search of tune up parts and consumables or replacement parts to replace something missing or broken on the motors?

No. There is no tell tale stream on these motors. There is a mist that sprays from the exhaust relief holes on the back of the leg just above the water line. That is the only visible place water exits this motor while running. Thanks for watching!
I never cared much for the looks of these either, but they run nicely, they don't weight much, and they still have the good old Universal Magneto ignition.

I do not understand what you mean by "caps". Are you referring to the lower shroud? If so, yes, I do have it. I just had not put it back on for this test run. Thanks for watching!
Please tighten the screw i front end of engine cover 😂
Thnx for the cooling story !
LOL. There's noting to tighten the screw against since I ran it without the lower cowl in this video. The screw it captured so.it won't fall out. It got tightened when the lower cowl was put back on once I was satisfied it was going to keep running properly. Thanks for watching!
Sorry ! I saw it today when i began service the one i just bought
This one appears just moved around in a barn since new 😀
That is a new one on me
What's new? This motor or the melted plastic piece in the water jacket blocking the flow? I had never seen that before either. I've had bugs in the galleys of the midsection under the powerhead do it. Never had plastic in there though. Thanks for watching!
@@oldjohnnyrude8404 Both never seen that problem or that model before
@@theeasybeats5913 This model is really a pretty nice little motor for a kicker or a backup. Pretty lightweight and compact, has a neutral clutch, simple magneto ignition system. They look a little funny, but they do what they do.
@@oldjohnnyrude8404 First outboard I had was an old Martin for some reason that motor reminds me of that I guess the way it was pushing your boat
@@theeasybeats5913 I have a Martin "60" that I have owned for over 5 years and I still haven't worked on it to get it going. Someday it will make an appearance.
Hi, My friend wrote to you from Mexico, my name is Manuel Hernández, could you tell me where I can get spare parts for a 4hp jonhson engine, I need to buy a carburetor from a dealer page please, thank you very much, good day.
Hello Manuel. I do not know what the best source is to order form that ships to Mexico. There are several sites in the US that have parts. I use Marineengine.com quite often, but not sure of their shipping outside the US. Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate your answer Friend and for the help, I wish you have a happy new year. Blessings.
@@josemanuelhernandezalcala3759 Thank you, Sir. May you have a blessed Christmas amd New Year as well.
Do you want to sell that motor
This motor was never mine. This one was brought to me for service. Thanks for watching!
Can you steer me in the direction of somebody that might have parts for the small motors I just found about five Johnson's 3 horse weedless in a couple ever nudes if you can help with that I'd appreciate it
@@user-dr2fe4wg3n Are you in search of tune up parts and consumables or replacement parts to replace something missing or broken on the motors? I typically get consumables from Marineengine.com, iBoats, and Crowley Marine. Ebay and Craigslist or Marketplace can be a source or other replacement parts. I often buy junk motors for parts to have some stock for own repairs.
@@oldjohnnyrude8404 I'm considering 1968 Johnson cuz it pulls kind of nice and easy not sure if it is Spark yet look looking at about eight of them so if you need a part off of one of those I can try to get it for you. Thank you for getting back to me
do these motors pee?
No. There is no tell tale stream on these motors. There is a mist that sprays from the exhaust relief holes on the back of the leg just above the water line. That is the only visible place water exits this motor while running. Thanks for watching!
I’m not gonna lie, that is one ugly motor, she runs good, but she ain’t purty... they shoulda called that model the “seadonkey”... ;)
I never cared much for the looks of these either, but they run nicely, they don't weight much, and they still have the good old Universal Magneto ignition. The neutral clutch is a nice bonus feature on these over the older (and better looking in my opinion) direct drive 4hps from '69- '76. Thanks for watching!
