These motors are so cool the styling, the mechanical simplicity of it and the way they run when dialed in properly truly amazing job you did. Thanks for you posting these videos I enjoy your attitude and reapir techniques..Frank
Man a lot of work in to this one gave you a little trouble along the way but you stuck with it and brought it back to life. To bad that Chinese impeller would not make it pump must be just to soft of rubber or something. It's very cool how so many parts will interchange though out the years. I enjoyed the video great job as always. The Outboard king you are 😁 have a great rest of the week. Take care Glenn 👍🏻
Yes Chris Im a King alright people say to me all the time Here King! Here King! LOL! Yes aftermarket impellars are a problem .This is the last of three videos .....Motor I just started this week is worse then this one. The overall powerhead was good on this 18 scrapped for the bad gearcase 30 years ago..Thanks for looking ...
The old dog was sure a fighter...I hear ya, gotta just walk away sometimes. I dunno, raising that water level might have solved your pumping issue. I'm no fan of the chinese stuff for sure, but maybe it just couldn't get primed. And yeah, once the flywheel key gets sheared, tends to mess up the keyway and gall the crank tapers. I usually remove the key and lap the surfaces with some light compound. But, once the flywheel tapers have spread, you are done. Many guys over torque the damn things with the zip gun and end up with this issue. Your years at eastern served you well sir. Oh, the stories you could tell I'm sure.... OMC would still be in business today if that exact engine could still be produced. I would put one of these up against any four stroke for smoothness and idle quality. Idle quality went out the window in the early 70s on these engines when the plugged the overboard drains and added the crazy recirc system...
This motor was tricky but its a done deal now.Yeah Im in the process of buying a test tank( 275 gallon IBC caged container) so no more backyard testing in small totes and pails,LOL. I did have the fill level at more then one time while it was running up to the bottom of the bell cup mount castings still no pumping.Put the new one in and it pumped again even at lower levels.Yeah I worked for Eastern for 8 years they went out of buisness in 1990 was a great job paid pretty good for the time. Im still amazed on what OMC made in the 50-60s how well everything was made and designed in most cases..nothing good last forever as we all know....
@@OutBoardTink62 Those were the good days at OMC, and Eastern. I've currently got a 10hp that is giving me fits. Replaced the impeller took it for a water test, pumped great. The next time I used it wouldn't pump a drop, and I used an OEM impeller. Perhaps the little bleed hole in the housing was plugged, although it didn't look like it when I pulled it apart. I did find it had the wrong water tube, but that was causing the water tube to rub on the shift rod, so really don't think that would cause the issue either. Gotta get that SOB back in the tank to see if it pumps again.
@@donk499 Pull the gearcase and use a drill if you have one and test in a 5 gallon pail.Ive learned it has to pump strong with almost very little RPM,LOL!
you really do all the repairs that i wouldn't GO NEAR@!! lol You're an artist! I see what your saying about the rubber in the impeller too. The one i used had REAL THICK veins! oh also is water bubbling out of the exhaust plate? on the top right. Love the thermostat advice!! F THEM!
I had the camera on my new phone set at the wrong aspect ratio I reset it after I uploaded it .Dont know how it got changed. When editing on your phone its hard to tell and I missed it sorry .Still looks presentable so I left it.........
Need parts have huge inventory for mostly OMC 2hp-35HP 1950S-1980S.

@@OutBoardTink62 this was a fun project to follow.

Yeah maybe drooling a bit needs a new gasket not used you know that if you run it in saltwater it will close up,LOL!
@@OutBoardTink62 lol I flushed it!
Oh I just looked at the video again. Ill check it out more closely tomorrow.I think its residual not sure.Thanks for the spotting...
I was a sheetmetal mechanic at Eastern Airlines years ago in the 80S
also, are you using your phone to take video? if so, turn it sideways so you get rid of the black side bars on the final cut!
