  • The motor featured in this video is a 1984 Evinrude/Johnson 15 hp. This is a carburetor rebuild. The fundamentals in this video will apply to most Evinrude/Johnson carbureted motors in the lower horsepower category. This is my first attempt at a CZcams how to video, and I did this project with the help of my kids. If you like what you see and you wouldn’t mind hitting the like and subscribe button my kids and I would really appreciate it! Hope you enjoy!

      Iv been a marine mechanic 45 years.he was wrong on a few things.but that's OK you got to learn somehow.one thing he did not show you was the link and sink.you know setting the timming in relation to the carb settings.if that's not set rite.a clean carb not going to help you at all.

    This is a fantastic video. I just got my first boat recently and I know absolutely nothing about outboard motors but this video helped me get my 1977 Evinrude 9.9 in working order. It sat for 3 years without running but after pulling the carb apart cleaning it and replacing the internal parts following this video it started no problem. Thank you for posting

    Young Man, the only thing I can say is this. Next to your employer giving you a pay check every two week, "Thank You" is the greatest expression of gratitude you can receive. After having a shop in Portland, OR. charge me $600.00 to tell me they couldn't fix my 1990 8 hp Evinrude LS, because they could find the part, I swore to learn to do what Ii can myself. My time is free. Integrity, Trust and Honesty are rare qualities (in general) these days, you are an example of all three. Helping people is something to be proud of.

    Great video man. The hardest part was actually getting that right side nut off and on without dropping it. The starter I had already dealt with previously.

  • @newmoon54
    @newmoon54 Před 5 měsíci +2

    Very informative instructional video! I'm a 36 year OMC Johnson/Evinrude technician and I specialized in small outboards from
    2 h.p. (or less!) to 50 h.p.. My favorite motors are the 9.9/15 and the 18 thru 35 h.p. motors. Bulletproof and go beyond duty~!~
    If I may just make a minor contribution to your fine tutorial,,, it's in regards to the carburetor ~fuel hose~ from the fuel pump discharge
    nipple. It's always a good/great idea to (as a routine!) replace that small length of hose, and also the fuel hose from the OMC fuel
    connector, to the plastic ~fuel pump filter cap~~!~ As both hoses will almost always be the same age, they can become solvent on the
    inside and can clog up the jet and idle bleed ports.
    Of course, this only applies to motors that are old enough (6 to 10 years or older!)! Especially with gas containing ETHANOL,, it's
    critical to replace the fuel lines~!~ Sadly, China is making some horrible fuel line~!~ I've seen it break down in less than a full boating
    season and especially the clear small diameter hose used on lawn equipment and small outboards~!~ Great work here~!~

The one with electric start still runs, but has lots and lots of use on it, and the other one without electric start feels like a brand new motor.. So maybe one day I'll take the electric start and alternator setup off the older one and install it on his healthier 1982

    I would like very much to compliment you on your skill set and fantastic video jus so well done!
    I do have a constructive criticism however. You stress the removal of the cork float and valve tip because of possibility breakage and degradation of materials that could cause a clog. Yet the interior of the engine cowling base was loaded with contamination that could get sucked into the air box.
    In surgery you address the procedure but also clean the surrounding so as not to contaminate the work being performed.
    I have rebuilt and worked on hundreds of outboards as well as build boats, what you do not see or is covered up eventually comes back to bite you! On the water this is especially so.
    It would have taken but a few minibus to clean things and not have remnants of rubber and debris still in residence.
    I believe that your approach and calm approach is simply too good and your innovation will propel you you to be at the panicle of things, but cleanliness is important as well and you are worthy of me crafting a few words as apposed to so many sloppy people who work in disarray. I say these things very respectfully sir.
    In my case I las my tools out, also take pictures when unsure and use a compartmented box to keep things in order. One last thing I so admire your approach very well done.
    Lastly look at the exterior of you project motor, then the interior. The exterior seems pristine and under the air box a tad questionable.
    If you were buying a motor and bought it based on the exterior then saw the internal not as neat and clean it would speak volumes as to the technician. Good to be clean on exterior but world class to be clean and sound inside and out.
    Please keep up the great job you are doing and I expect you will be a rock star shortly re your videos sir.

Not the front or the back of the carburetor but the narrowest portion of the throat of the carburetor down by the butterfly.

    Two things. 1: you should always poke a rag, preferrably white, in and under the carb as far as you can. No matter how careful you may be, it's easy to drop small parts and hard to recover. The rag saves all this. 2: why did you not remove and inspect the emulsion tube, assuming these engines have one as most small engines do. I'm sure I could see one both from the bottom and in through the throat. Emulsion tubes have very small holes and easy to block, or if the engine has had water in the carb for an extended time they can have verdigrease build up in there. Otherwise reasonable explanation.

    I tried rebuilding my carb but still won't start easily or keep running. I'm not sure if I did it right or got everything clean. Can I send it to you to check on another 10 or 15hp to be sure it is working or do another rebuild for me? I believe it is a 1974 9.9hp Johnson.

    • @wetshoesmechanic
      @wetshoesmechanic  Před 2 lety

      It is broken, it’s called the starter pawl. It’s a safety device to keep you from starting the motor with the throttle turned up too high in gear. It keeps you from throwing yourself out of the back of the boat if one of those criteria is met When you’re not expecting it when you start it. It was broken when I received the motor, and for my application on my boat I prefer it not to be on anyway so I just left it. Thanks for the positive feedback, and thanks for watching!

    I really enjoy your videos. I have several Johnson’s/Evinrudes. I’m currently working on a ‘80 15hp and an ‘81 15hp and have an issue you haven’t addressed. I’ve overhauled them both completely and the ‘81 in incredibly hard to pull. It’s like I can’t pull it fast enough to turn it over. I fired it up for 3seconds a week ago and can’t get it to start again. It feels “frictiony” not “compressions.” Advice?

      Check and see if it has a compression relief hole it helps with starting but doesn’t effect the motor when it’s running it’s probably plugged up with carbon some people use tiny drill bit to clean them out but I would use other options so you don’t drill it bigger.the hole is near exhaust port in cylinder wall run some seafom through it to decarbonize it. But I’m not certain your model has the pin hole good luck let me know if it does the trick.

    • @wetshoesmechanic
      @wetshoesmechanic  Před rokem

      It was broke off when I acquired the motor. For my specific purposes I actually prefer it to be off. It’s a safety device called “starter pawl”. It engages with your throttle linkage so that you can’t accidentally start it in gear at high enough RPMs to potentially throw you out of the boat if you weren’t expecting it to be in gear when you started it. If it’s installed and working properly you won’t be able to pull the start rope if the Motor was in gear. For my purposes I don’t mind it being in gear when I start due to the type of fishing I do with it. But as a good rule of thumb you should always have all your safety devices functioning on your motors especially if you don’t have a kill cord.

      I’m not affiliated with this website at all, but it is loaded with information about these motors. Scroll about halfway through this webpage and there’s a picture that shows how to put the spring back together on this. I’ve tried to explain this in forums before and it’s very difficult to describe correctly, so in this case a pictures worth 1000 words. Hope this helps a bit.

    • @wetshoesmechanic

      Definitely, I would start with the carburetor and give it another shot. If that doesn’t seem to help, I would verify that the fuel pump is working as well. Also, check your fuel lines and make sure they haven’t deteriorated from the inside out.

    • @wetshoesmechanic
      @wetshoesmechanic  Před rokem

      Usually for these kind of motors, anything over 100 psi, and within 10% of each other is good to go. If you have a wild variation between two cylinders generally, that means somethings wrong in the cylinder. If they’re within 10% and Low on pressure, check with a different compression tester before tearing the engine apart.

      It is called a starter pawl. It’s a safety device to keep you from having the engine reved up in gear when you attempt to start it. If the motor was turned off and the throttle was engaged while it was in gear, it could potentially throw you out of the boat when it does start. Whoever had this motor before me had cut that part out. I have since replaced it, I just didn’t have a new one when I made the video. Thanks for watching!

    Man I need your help, I have a 1976 15hp and I changed the fuel pump and the spark plugs but can only get it to fire up for a few seconds then it dies and thats after spraying it with some starting fluid, do you think the carb needs rebuilt or is something else wrong? I bought it from a guy and as far as I know its not ever had the gaskets and cork replaced. Also if I put a same year 9.9hp carb on will it bring down the horsepower?

    • @wetshoesmechanic
      @wetshoesmechanic  Před 2 lety +2

      That does sound like a fuel issue if it will start with starting fluid. Instead of starting fluid I would Recommend using a spray bottle with a gasoline/oil mix of 50 to 1. Starting fluid will strip the oil out of the crank case, bearings, and rings. It’s pretty hard on two strokes. Moving past that though, if you’re 100% sure you got the fuel pump put together correctly then the next thing down the line would be the carburetor. I wouldn’t skip out on your fuel lines either. Especially with a motor that old if the fuel lines have never been replaced and anyone has ran ethanol blended gas through it there’s a chance that those few lines have degrade from the inside and could potentially clog everything up if you rebuild the carburetor. You can use automotive fuel line from a parts store like NAPA or O’Reilly’s and it will be a lot cheaper than the marine fuel line. If you get a carburetor kit try to stick with OMC, Evinrude, or sierra brand. You might save a couple dollars on an Amazon kit but I’ve had nothing but troubles with those. It might not hurt to get a compression tester and check your compression on your cylinders also. If you need to run down to your parts store and rent one, don’t buy one from Harbor freight. The two cylinder should be within 10% of each other and ideally around 90 psi or higher. I don’t have a video on this yet, but if you’re looking at the carburetor make sure that the roller that’s connected to the throttle linkage on the carburetor is intersecting on the timing cam Correctly. “Basically that wedge part that moves the throttle linkage on the carburetor”. That wheel should intersect with a mark at the low end of the throttle. The mark and the wheel should intersect just as it starts moving the throttle linkage, if that’s off too far it will have a hard time running also. Hope this helps a little, thanks for watching!

      Also, yes… If you put a 9.9 carburetor on your motor it will Make it a 9.9 hp motor. Up until 1979 that was the only difference between the 15 and 9.9 hp motors was the carburetor.

      I’m having a hard time figuring out the year on that as well. In your model number the “S”= South American, “E”= Evinrude, “25”= 25 hp, “RS”= Rope start-commercial, “L”= 20 inch long shaft, And the M is an odd one, the M would stand for the year but it needs to not be an M and consist of two letters to identify the year. By the layout of the model number though it narrows it down between a 1980 thru 1998. Sorry I couldn’t be more help, you kind of stumped me on this one.

      Sorry to hear that, if you have a local boat shop in your area I would recommend taking the carburetor off and taking it into them with the information that you have. Generally they’ll have carb kits available on site and you might be able to sit down and look at the different carb kits and match up a kit that would work for you based on the gasket configuration of the bowl, and if you want to take your carburetor apart, you can compare float needles to a kit that they may have available also. Just a thought. Good luck to you!

      Something else to keep in mind with these carburetor rebuild kits is sometimes they make a carburetor kit that’s spans several years and several different variations of the model. In many cases with these carburetor kits you’ll end up with some parts of it that you won’t use on a specific year of carburetor that you might end up using on a different carburetor. It’s up to you if you want to risk it, but that’s where bringing just the carburetor in to the shop and seeing if they could match a kit that would work for it. I’ve never attempted this, but if you look on the powerhead there should be a silver button about the size of a quarter. It’s called a Welch plug/ Freeze plug. On that plug there are some numbers, sometimes model number that might be different from your badge number if someone’s messed with it at some point, and unless someone’s remove that plug and replaced it at some point I’ve heard that you can maybe contact the manufacturer with that number and they may be able to narrow it down for you. But considering Evinrude is no longer a company that might be a little tough too. It’s a pretty long shot to say the least.
