Can you do something on setting carbs up? Adjusting mixer screws etc? That would be very useful.... Thanks!

Been watching all your videos. Most Excellently Done!!! Thank you!!! Just bought a 2001, 70hp Nissan outboard attached to a 1983 whatever boat. Will be commencing some work on it this evening. Temp here in Arizona was 110 degrees this afternoon. I'm retired US Army and boat motors are completely out of my life experience. Just saying Hello and and expressing Great Appreciation for teaching how to work on these motors!!!!

Your videos give me just enough boating fix to last me until the weekend. Thank you

This motor is exactly the same as my Mariner, only difference is mine has 20" And it was in storage for about ten years. Thank for the tips Eric.

Eric, I've been watching your videos for quite some tome. I just subscribed oday. I love watching you work on these boats & motors. You are very knowledgable for someone as young as you. You should be proud. I'll be watching! Thank you!

If you have a air compressor it's really good, until the jet slips out of your fingers and disappears for ever into the garden bed.

Jets are brass.......

These are great motors, I had a 30 hp that I ran on a 14' runabout. I ran it almost every day for years without issue. And my brother had a 90 Nissan that he used commercially for years also.

Great video! I've got a 2003 M40D2 remote steering set up with tilt/trim. Mine is a low hour motor, too. I've just been through the timing/carb linkages/2 stroke oil pump mixing adjustments. Also did the car idle adjustments. I really like this motor and would love to convert it to a 50 hp but the carbs and reeds are hard to find. Thanks and take care!

That sounds like a dragster!! Awesome!

Great video this is one of the best video I have ever seen on this make of motors. I have one of these motors and I always wanted to clean the carbs and now I can. I wish you would of shown is how you adjusted the carbs but awesome video.

Just call the engine-company and ask! i did with my Yamaha 25hk for the mixture screws, easy money!

Thanks for taking the time to put this up here. I don't have a 50 hp, just an old M2.5A 2.5 hp, but I watched your video anyhow and KEPT watching because it was just so well done. It would have been good to also depict the whole carb adjustment process, but I still think folks with this motor will find your video very helpful. On behalf of them, thanks again!

some years ago i had this engine but 25hp i had to sold it, i regret it til this day, totally loved it!

Great video thanks for your explanations when you do each step thanks from Canada

Great video. Thanks for the info. Im just starting work on a 2007 Mercury.

That 4 blade prop looks sick!

Toyota’s in the driveway. What a legend

Very impress.. Im from Montréal.and i have a mercury 25hp 1983..i hope i will be able to fix it...continue your video.i love it!!

So envy that you get all kind of neat newer motors in the area you live. Where I live, I have to try so hard to bid on junk motors for $$$...

i bought tohatsu 50 hp everrun 2 months ago , 2001 and 2016 is almost same , reliable engine ,better you use 15 pitch 3 blade stainless steel propeller...... only regret i didnt buy the electric starter and tilt version ..... thanks for the video

Great video and very satisfying

Those are some bad ass motors. Here Louisiana something like that would go for 4500 to 5000

Awesome video keep up the great work

As you tuned the engine to run on the muffs, you will need to redo the idle tune once you get it in the water. The back pressure on the exhaust when it is under water makes a difference to the idle setup. The 15" shaft, manual start engines are commonly used for the beach patrol/life saver IRBs (rubber ducks is their common name here) . The engines tend to have a short life as they are run up on the sand, get flipped over in waves and generally just get a hard life from being in salt water/air all the time. Your engine looks like it is a very nice buy .

Hi Eric, my 2004 yamaha 15hp 2 stroke tiller starts only when the throttle is on, and doesn't idle. If you drop the revs she stalls and takes a while to start again. She runs fine when she's above quarter throttle but under that it stalls. Any idea what is causing this?

Beast of an engine. Zapcats and Thundercats rule.

How does your outboard prime your carburetors. I have a Nissan 30hp & just has a choke. I just purchased it & having problems tuning it on . Its also a pull start

Great video!

Can you do a video on a 150 Johnson about how to set the throttle and gear cable

The fact he thought it was priming the motor by barley pulling the rope back lmao 😢 😂😂

Eric I was wondering do you buy boat motors I have a old Suzuki tiller Handel 40 hp.

I adjust my 2 strokes Tohatsu 50 HP motor air/fuel mixture screws using a electronic vaccum meter, motor's vaccums are set to same reading, motor idles smoothly and evenly.

What type of cleaner do you clean your carbs with?

Can you show how to change the lower gear oil seal?

muy bueno los vídeo que he visto gracias

Thanks but I would have liked to see the final part of the carb fix

I know this might not be realistic right now, but I would like to see a video on how you adjust the neutral gear setting. I have a Yamaha 25hk 2-stroke Autolube from -92, and I cant get the neutral position to be correct, it grinds a little bit and I have to hold it in neutral with my hand so it doesnt grind against the gears. Love watching your videos even tho I dont own anything else than a Honda BF75 and two Yamaha 25hk / 4hk 2 strokes. Cheers buddy!

Good video. Thanks for sharing.

I have a tohatsu 40 that is 10yr old have had since it was new but I let it sit for a bout 1 yr cause the last time I went out it was running funny it would not hit its max RPM like it norm would so I put the boat up 4 a 1yr then took it to have its 1yr service an told them what I just said they told me it was the carbs so they cleaned them all I got it back went out and it ran good but it still wont hit its max RPM it was 6500 or a bit more now it only hits about 4900 and I just cant fig out what the hell it is if u have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated?

Are parts readily available in the us?

Nice video, can you show us how to adjust the mixture screws?

@ct1762

if you have an outboard, always get the service manual (factory, not seloc or clymer!). they will walk you though it. the key is to adjust all the carbs equally. ive seen people try to do them individually, and they won't ever run right if out of synch.

Hey buddy I got the same kind of motor but it’s a 40hp what’s up with the reverse stop cause I can’t put it in reverse?

Great video. Duck hunters love those motors on a Jon boat. I was always told not to put a motor in gear without a tub or bucket of water for resistance. Any thoughts? Also whats the value of a motor like that?

For sure. Impeller should always be done on a job like this, or after any period of extended storage. Even a brand new impeller will rot in storage.

I could also use a little bit of advice on which stainless steel prop to put on the motor?

which way did you put the emulsion tubes in ?

Thanks for the info on this video. The only complaint is that you chose not to show us the adjustment to the carbs. To someone like me with very little mechanical experience I would like to have an idea of how much adjustment to expect. 3 turns, 1-1/2 turns..?? But the video does have lots of info.. thanks again

I'm way late in the response but with a 2 stroke of unknown history it's really important to clean the carbs and install new gaskets. If one runs lean you'll sieze a piston and mess up your engine.

Hi Eric, thanks for those great insights and craftsmanship from you in US. I expect many Outboarder owners coming around to your workshop, eehh ?! I'm facing probs with my 70hp 2stroke Merc from 1982, motor razzles / dazzles and crankshaft drags somehow. I posted a Vid in my channel. What do you guess, is it required to fully disassemble motorblock ? thanks from Europe for all your contributions George

@ct1762

6 жыл бұрын

that block has always been cranky and under powered. they originally rated it at 50hp, then a VERY overrated bump to 70hp, then in 1986 when propshaft hp came into play... back down to 50hp. before putting $$ into that motor, do yourself a favor and find a big block 3 cyl 70, 80 or 90 horse version. much more power, torque and reliability. Just my opinion.

Are you here in Florida?

Why no test ride?
