Hydrolocked Outboard Motor
Symptoms and repair of a hydrolocked outboard boat motor. In this case we working on a Yamaha F4 4 hp 4-stroke outboard motor that wouldn't pull start after sitting in storage for years. It's an easy fix, but is a good reason to check your boat motor if it's been stored laying down.
As I mention in the video, hydrolocking can also occur due to ingestion of water or (way too much) fuel. It can be catastrophic if this happens when an engine is running, especially if it's a more powerful motor, when it can break pistons/rings and bend connecting rods.
I hope this video was helpful, and thanks for watching!

Honda Mower Drive Belt Mechanism and Axle Removal
มุมมอง 7Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video I remove the rear axle and drive mechanism for a Honda HRN 216 Lawnmower with the GCV 170 engine. In my case, the drive belt got jammed in the belt guide, but this would be the same procedure for changing out a worn drive belt. In addition, it give a nice look at how the self propelled drive function on these mowers work. As an aside, I have really liked this mower a lot. It does ...
PoulanPro 4218 Chainsaw Rebuild

In this video I'm rebuilding the top end of a PoulanPro 4218 Chainsaw. This saw had very low hours, but I pushed it a little hard in some hard seasoned oak, and it overheated and lost compression. Even though rebuild kit was quite inexpensive ("Mtanlo Cylinder Piston Top End Rebuild Kit" Found here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08M39FVJG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), and had ...
1955 Mercury Mark 25 Outboard Tear-down
มุมมอง 3.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I'm tearing down a beautiful 1955 Mercury Mark 25 Outboard that I have hopes to get running again at some point. Fair warning that I don't yet have the service manual for this motor, and I definitely have a lot to learn before I start getting it back together. In editing this video, I realize that I'm complaining more than usual about all of the tough bolts, tight clearances, and ...
DIY Differential Bearing Replacement 2015 Ford F 150
มุมมอง 27K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Here I'm replacing the bearings and races in the rear differential of a 2015 Ford F-150 with the electronically locking differential. At the time of replacement, I believe the truck was at about 83,000 miles, and is my daily driver, and used often to tow a fiberglass boat and trailer without breaks. I'm not sure if the loading of towing at speed for long distances plus the aggressive engine bre...
1982 Mercury 40HP Outboard Part 5 - Thermostat, Poppet Valve, and Back Together
มุมมอง 12K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Finally getting the 1982 40hp Mercury outboard back together and the moment of truth to see if it runs. TLDR of this one, it's old, it's smokey, but it works. Would I chose to work on one of these again? Not for fun, but it does show that it's possible to get apart and back together. I'm happy to finish out this series, and if you enjoyed this video, feel free to subscribe to the channel, as it...
Front Wheel Bearing Replacement 2015 Ford F150 (2WD)
มุมมอง 6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Replacing the front wheel bearing on a rear wheel drive 2015 F-150. To replace the bearings, the entire hub assembly must be changed out, which actually makes the process very straightforward. An important point to note, is that the hub assembly is different on the 2WD vs 4WD versions, so make sure to order the correct part. Motorcraft Part number #HUB394 Ideally I would have used the OEM part,...
Cabin Air Filter 2015 Ford F 150 XL (and glove box switch reassembly)
มุมมอง 4.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Replacing the cabin air filter in a 2015 Ford F-150 in the XL trim. With higher trim levels there may be more stuff on the dash to remove, but in general, the idea is the same. I actually don't know what that little switch is for that came apart on me, but I seemed to get it back together. It looks like it may be for a light. The only tricky bit is pulling the trim off and snapping it back on. ...
Driver's Side Mirror Replacement 2015 Ford F 150
มุมมอง 4.9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Replacing the driver's side mirror on a 2015 Ford F-150. I've replaced a number of site mirrors in the past, and this is by far one of the easiest. The only hang up with the aftermarket mirror I purchased was that it did not have the foam vapor barrier or mounting studs which both needed to be transferred over from the old mirror. I'm assuming if you buy an OEM or more expensive replacement, it...
Don't Make Things Worse
มุมมอง 1493 ปีที่แล้ว
Just wanted to share a little frustration I recently encountered. My landlord had me take a look at his ATV that was backfiring. It was out of time, but more problematic was the fact that the previous owner had tried to solve the problem by cranking down the intake studs harder and harder. I did end up chasing the threads in the head and cleaning them up, but thought I'd post since I'm sure som...
1982 Mercury 40hp Part 4 Powerhead Reassembly, New Fuel Pump, and Installation on the Leg
มุมมอง 9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Here I reassemble the 40hp Merc powerhead and replace the fuel pump before getting it back on the leg. It actually wasn't terrible to get back together, but if you're doing it, it's good to have a reference for torque values, and I did refer back to my disassembly video several times to make sure I was putting things back together the correct way. Even if you don't intend to post it to TH-cam, ...
Tool Review Fortress 10 Gallon Ultra Quiet Air Compressor from Harbor Freight
มุมมอง 67K3 ปีที่แล้ว
A quick tool review of the Fortress 10 Gallon Ultra Quiet Air Compressor from Harbor Freight. I've used the 2 gallon ultra quiet one for quite some time now, and while it's great (and very quiet), it was definitely time for an upgrade to supply more air. Harbor freight just came out with this new 10 gallon ultra quiet version, so I picked one up, and thought I'd share some thoughts, and a littl...
1982 Mercury 40hp (Part 3) Powerhead Removal, Disassembly, and Reed Valve Replacement
มุมมอง 19K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Powerhead removal and disassembly on a 1982 Mercury 40hp outboard to replace bad reed valves. This motor was having issues starting, pumping fuel, and showed some amount of air flow out the carburetor. These all pointed to bad reed valves. Unfortunately in this model, the reed valve assembly is located inside the engine surrounding the crankshaft. This necessitates powerhead removal and splitti...
