Just picked one of these 5hp 11r long shaft up today. Tomorrow I’m grabbing a 4 hp 96 Johnson sea horse with under 100 hours on it for 500 Canadian Great info with this video. Keep the vintage motors going. They have life left!! Cheers !!!
Did you end up taking this apart and repairing it? I just bought the same motor (except 1965) and this is my first time trying this. Your videos have been so informative, it would be great for me to have one to follow along with.
Hi, I just replaced my coils on my six hp. One cylinder was cutting out. Also throttle was hard to turn. Replaced coils, no spark either cylinder. Followed ignition wires around. Both broke off at the clamp next to starter. Replaced ignition wires one at a time. Had to removed new coils again. Checked I had spark with gap tester. Fueled her up and now get a backfire? Long ignition lead is going to top cylinder. Shorter lead by starter assy goes to bottom cylinder. Any thoughts? I did notice my points were gapped to about 0.014 vs 0.020 spec. It was running fine last year so did not want to mess with that. Any advice appreciated.
Good afternoon friend. I am Brazilian I would like to know. the right regulation used in the johnso 6 hp air regulation mixes if it is 2 and a half turns.
I saw your recoil video. Will most likely have to do that. I’m new to outboard motors. Last time I launched on a slow river it didn’t have the power to go up river. I think a 4hp evinrude should be able to go up slow current. Any ideas where I should start problem solving? Thanks
I've been trying to get my grandpa's old '79 johnson 15 hp outboard engine running. It ran when it went into storage, but it's been sitting for over 15 years. I am extremely green when it comes to boat engines. Aside from changing the water pump and gear oil, is there any other critical parts that need overhauled before trying to run it?
I just got the Johnson 6HP workshop. Exactly the above video model..in India. Not used for over 12 years. Would need your help...it Haas 2 fins on the gearbox with the skedge
Great videos. I've got a 1990 4hp deluxe and you helped me get the pull rope mechanism working correctly. Should my 4hp Deluxe have some type of air box covering the carb? All I have now is the carburetor inlet open with nothing covering it.
Thanks for all these videos. I have a 2000 Johnson 25 and a '71 Evinrude 6. The 6 has a puzzling situation going on. When the tank to motor hose is disconnected a small amount of fuel spills from the fitting on the lower cowling. Some of the fuel in the hose running from the connection fitting to the screen cover on the fuel pump runs out. I took that fitting off and found that there is no check ball in it, nor does it appear that one ever existed. Did the older small motors not have a check ball there? Thanks
@@BrandonsGarage Thanks for taking time to explain and saving me $50+ bucks only to discover that the new one also had no check ball. I really appreciate your low hp Johnson/Evinrude videos!
Brandon's Garage pull choke and put it on start and pull. The guy that I got it from said he put the wrong gas/oil ratio in to. But he got it starting great.
Really interesting Brandon. All your videos are really helpful and informative. I have an evinrude 1966 6hp with only about 10hrs on it. As a newbie can I ask you how often do the gearbox seals need changing. Is it every couple of years?
once ever 10. Give the age of the rubber in yours, they probably need to be changed. As does the water pump. Watch my 9.5 Lower Rebuild video. Exact same process.
@@BrandonsGarage Do you mean the video 'Where power meets water'? I couldn't find the 6hp 2 blade prop anywhere in that one. But never mind, it proved quicker to go and remove it and have a look. I still cannot understand why this all important part of an outboard is so ignored on youtube. You all (Americans) seem too obsessed with three blades and going as fast as possible! However, I did find a much shorter tutorial on prop types and their usage. Many thanks.
@Russ Gallagher Oh dear, yet another case of two nations divided by a common language! My point was, and I've solved it now, was that I couldn't find any videos showing how to remove a 2 blade prop, they were all 3 blades. End of discussion!

Johnson had that kind of versatility with a few motors like the 84 7.5 hp that I have about the only difference was the carburetors vs a 4 hp.
Could you do a lower tear down on the 6hp? Would be greatly appreciated
They make a screw on transom that sets up 6 inches you can put on and off that way you can run a long shaft
I just changed my longshaft to shortshaft by cutting the main driveshaft. Suzuki 5hp 4 stroke
Hey. I use an Johnson 6.0 BJ6DREDS 1996. Which 2-Stroke fuel mix do i have to use? 1:100, 1:50, 1:25? Greetings from Germany.
50:1 synthetic oil
Thank you very good information 🙏

Do you know anything about the johnson 2.5 hp twin cylinder. Is it the same as the single cylinder? Performance , power wise. ?
I have a 6hp when u put it in gear it only about half of the rpm of when it’s in neutral full throttle
check to see if its only running on one cylinder?
@Brandon's Garage how can I do that ? & thank you for replying and helping
Help!
Need a video or basics on how to disassemble a steering tube on a 15 hp Johnson...very stiff to turn.
Thank You!

Not really, no.
Not if it was put away correctly.
(storage; winterizing, or running it out of gas)

No sir, nothing but a little choke knob bracket.

Correct they all do this. Turns out that valve wasn't invented until some point in the 80's

I’ve a good question I’ve a 4hp but i wana put an 8hp carb they are basically the same with different jets how well will that work
Not at all, much larger pistons on an 8hp than a 4.
@@BrandonsGarage hm some mods might need to be done
I Have a 5hp Johnson motor. By any chance do u know where can I buy a 8 by 7 1/2 .. 3 blade propeller. Thanks in advance.
I wonder how you get the carb off?
hey i have a 6hp johnson and it has trouble starting but when it does start it runs great. any tips?
check compression?
And what is your starting process?
Brandon's Garage pull choke and put it on start and pull. The guy that I got it from said he put the wrong gas/oil ratio in to. But he got it starting great.
The guy know how to start it. What’s a good sequence to start the engine?
@@BrandonsGarage exactly
@@h-townfishing1382 yes put in right
oil /GasRatio - new Plugs 🔌 too - also before shutting down Engine -unplug fuel line and run out gas . 👍🏻
So i rebuilt a 6 hp carb and noticed down in the slow speed need some fiberous material by needle seat orfice is this normal?
Packing. To seal the needle.
Left handed rotation prop
Wow !😊

Brandon, I have a johnson 9.5 that wont stay in gear while running. What would cause that?
I have a 5hp and need help won’t start
Bu motor kac zamanli ?
This is SO frustrating! I'm all over youtube trying to find how a 2 blade prop is fitted, you guys just don't seem to want to cover props!
New video I just posted might help you.
