With the way ethanol fuel eats hoses and rubber seals, it pays to go through the fuel system of older outboards and practically replace all the rubber parts. Most all of them weren’t made to handle the ethanol in today’s fuel. I found this out the hard way with my own old outboards!

I purchased a 2018 15.5 trapper topper jon boat with a 1989 evinrude 25hp with stick steer The prior owner a service manager at a local car dealership said it needs carburetor work. I got it home and found several things wrong with it bt not the carburetor. I replaced the water pump, thermostat, exhaust side cover gasket water pump. Found the electric pump lever was in the wrong direction. It would fire up and run. But would stall out and flood the ngk plugs and be a pain to restart. I then after a fishing trip where it almost left us stranded by not wanting to restart. I put new champion plugs in it and took it out for a test run and fishing trip. Still had a little miss in it. I pulled the plugs and found one clean an one with carbon. Put a ohm meter on it and found both sparkplug wires were open. I replaced the wires with a new set. Ran much better. But the idle advanced from the carburetor wouldn't line up this problem is the total advance is not adjusted properly. Next is finding my timing light.

If you remember, last week on another video I posted in was having an issue getting my 1985 25HP Johnson to start. I had replaced everything electrical, fuel system as a whole...I was getting pissed! It turned out to be....the damn Needle Valve!!! The issue was that IF my carb had ever been rebuilt, they never replaced the retainer! It was super loose and could not hold the needle valve in place. When the motor was started...even the vibration from driving the boat down the road...was making the needle valve back itself way out. So, it was basically trying to run on pure air with no fuel!

@THISOLDOUTBOARD1

3 жыл бұрын

Hey. Thanks for tuning in! Well hopefully, its either its a fuel issue or an ignition issue. I'm leaning towards a fuel issue. But never assume anything with these things, what seems like one thing may be the other. You'll have to eliminate one system at a time, it may be something simple. I would start at your tank and work back through the entire fuel system all the way to the plugs. Check for, tank vent open, primer bulb holding tight, air leaks in fuel lines, carburetor super clean, fuel pump diaphragm, when it stalls at idle pull the plugs out and see if they're wet or dry. While your going through everything check your compression too! Once everything is good with the full system and if you still have problems, check out your ignition system, get a spark tester or a cheap timing light on ebay, check spark on both plugs when it stalls at low speed and high speed, could be an ignition coil or the charge coil under the flywheel dropping out. Even the powerpack may be going bad. You'll have to narrow it down. Hope this helps. Thanks again !

Ebay also sells parts new and used, and parts for these outboards are interchangeable. Good Luck!

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yes there is a pt. 2. Stop using starter fluid ! Theres no oil in it and you could be causing damage to your outboard. Using Starter fluid is telling you only one thing. You got Spark but Your not getting any fuel to the plugs. So now you need to find out why. Pretty simple right. CLEAN THE CARBURETOR ! Slow speed idle circuit is probably clogged. Check the float and needle, and very important is the slow speed needle Retainer. If it's missing/broken the carb is just sucking air not fuel. I think I covered all this in this video. Clean the carb and replace any parts it needs, screw the slow speed needle/valve in and gently seat it, then turn it out 1 + 1/2 turns, that should get it started. Then your all set to dial in the carb as seen in pt. 2. Then dial it in again, warmed up, in gear, at idle on the boat. You should be good to go and dont forget to clean the high speed orifice/jet in the carb bowl. Thanks again and Stay tuned !

now another point, what is this guy doing wrong? he is right now damaging the cylinders, i have seen this this so many times, here is what he is doing wrong. When a two stroke is being pulled the cylinders are crankshaft and rod and piston pin are getting Zero Lubrication everytime he yanks on the pull cord the rings are scoring the cylinders. where you buy and old outboard and take off the cylinder head you will see scoring lines on the walls of cylinders, not due to a lack of oil in the fuel tank when running but when pull starting the unit when out of the water. so what must you do, before turning a two stroke outboard over when working on the engine take the plugs out and spray some two strokr oil into the cylinders replace plugs then your good for ten pulls. cylinder scoring in outboards is caused from dry pulling with no lube getting into thr cylinders and crack bearings

@THISOLDOUTBOARD1

Ай бұрын

Hey. Good Point. But. Pulling that outboard is not hurting a thing. Plus its a 2 stroke running motor, just not running right. They don't "dry up" overnight, there's always a degree of lubricant on them. Next time you tear one down rub your hands all over it and you'll see just how greasy they are! Now I've lost count on how many outboards I've put back in the water, and there are times when I'll spray some lube in the cylinders, for instance, Grandpas old outboard that's been sitting in the shed for 30 years! She just might need a little lube and hopefully the rings are not stuck. What your describing, scoring lines on the cylinder walls takes place during operation, its has to run up some rpm's to do the damage your talking about. Nobody can produce that by hand pulling it. If that were the case half or more of the outboards in the world are doomed! There are many things that can cause cylinders/piston scoring, sure wrong fuel/oil ratio, lack of lubricant, excessive heat running hot, bad/stuck rings just name a few. I'm not saying not to lube up the cylinders. I do it often. I am saying scored cylinders/pistons/rings gonna need more kick to cause damage then just pulling on the pull start.
