Love your Channel. Thanks for these. I have a 71 Fisherman and have replaced and rebuilt everything I can with the help of these videos. She is a fine oiled machine.
Thanks for your 6hp video series, i own a 76 4hp and recently picked up a 72 6hp Johnson… got it running today for the first time in who knows how long. I will be going through the carb and ignition also. Thank you for the info
Happy to help. What good would it be to video the repair if you can't see what to do. I set it up like I would want it to be if I was trying to learn something new. Thank for commenting and as always keep watching.
Great video as you CLEARLY show all the steps towards replacing the points. You may have wanted to say that in setting the points' gap (0.20), one wants the feeler blade to rub against but not grab on the contacts. Thaniks !
Hey whoever you are you are awesome watched about 10 videos before this one and after yours I didn’t even think twice about watching another you nailed it thanks
I have a 66 6hp evinrude and i need to check the points n such but i need a puller for the flywheel any idea what size bolts (pitch thread) that might fit the three holes as apposed to mashing something close?and once again great videos love the simple explanations keep up the great work and thanks for your time.
I have a 73, I used 1/4 inch 20 thread bolts on my puller to pull the flywheel. You've probably done this by now but I thought others might find it helpful.
The point setup on OMC's is a PITA in that they don't give you an integral assembly you can just fasten to the armature plate. It's definitely an Old School setup.
I realize this was over five years ago, but where did/do you get the OEM parts in the bags like that? I am unable to find OEM. I will pay whatever I need to for OEM. Thank you!!
Just watched the whole series, this is exactly what I need to do. Great information, I'll be doing mine to these as a refresher Can you say roughly what the parts cost all together.
I buy most of my parts from Boat Net. I like to call them because if a part is out of stock they will just hold your order and not tell you. I had a hard time getting the OMC points for this motor. I put after market in for the video than went back and changed them. I was surprised of the poor quality of the after market part.
Om Fishing I like eBay you can still find new old stock and pretty cheap done cheap out too don’t buy China points or coils wont work right and buy the manual
I needed a trailer for a wave runner and came across this old 80s boat motor and trailer for 450 dollars, it has a 84 25 hp Johnson that dont run, no spark . I got a question theirs a temp thing that has wires running from the coil and the wire is exposed will that stop the coil from firing?
That is a deal of deals. When I was going over the evinrude 6hp fisherman I had the same thing on it the coils was good and the spark plug wire was bad on each end. Check out my videos. Water and electric don't mix. The electrical system is the weak link. Check each part don't assume any thing is good with out checking. As for the wire I am not sure on the model on mine it would not stop it from starting.
I got a 1965 fisherman with my first boat a few months ago and never tried it out. Built a stand and gave it a few pulls the other day. Fuel was leaking from the pump and no spark. Ordered an old service manual and watched this video to take a look at what I’m up against with the points. If my square style fuel pump is leaky, do you think I can just take it apart, clean it and put it back together or should I just replace it to have a better summer next year?
If the fuel pump does not have any cracks in it. You could just rebuild it, If your not sure about it replace it. I try to spend as little as possible till I see how it is going to run. Then go back and replace the parts that I know are weak. Any motor will run and be a great motor with enough money put in to it.
I have taken the flywheel off by taking the nut off and tap the shaft with something that will not mess up the threads, but I don't like to do it that way. You can cause your self a lot of extra work.
@@Z71Ranger if I had not been already using chips since I asked this question I would have agreed but I've got 2 of them on my mercury 200 20 hp right now and yepper they work like a dream.
I was just making it even. I don't have the special tool. As long as it does not rub the inside of the flywheel and runs the engine I thought it would be ok!!!
@@OmFishing The ring shaped alignment tool that many people say is mandatory just shaves a few seconds off the job of aligning coils which would only benefit me if I was doing it multiple times a day. They just need to not overhang the alignment surfaces to clear the flywheel.
very good video I'm repairing a 15 hp evinrude but I can't find the point with the platelet the platelet moved Asia forward or backward nothing happens
Great video, I 'll be checking the impeller in Johnson 15 hp Seahorse from the late 80's with almost no use in fresh waters . It has been sitting for at least 10 years. Nice watch,by the way! Is that a Seiko ? Cheers!
I had put a set of after market points in this motor. They looked to be very poor quality the contacts didn't line up very well. When I got some OEM points I change them.
The point are about $12.50 ea. and the condenser is about $7.00 ea. The job takes two of each by the time you add shipping it about 50 bucks.

When I started inspection the engine for the first time. I did not have any history on this engine. I new the points were bad just by looking at them. I then check the coils and found them to be good. I check the spark plug wire and it was bad on the end where it plugged in to the coil. I cut it off with the idea I would replace it but for now see what else is not working. Check the wire again and it had a bad place where the spark plug connector connects on the other end. I like to replace all parts with OEM. I could not get a set of OEM points at the time. I just left them on back order and yes they came in a few days ago. The points I installed was after market it started and ran but their is not no comparison between the to. So far the motor has been used enough to burn 6 gallons of gas through it and still running great. Still starts easy!

I did take it apart and clean it but that is it. Just want to see how well it would run before I spend to much money. I already have about $100.00 in part and I think it was $45.00 for the motor not running.
@@OmFishing thank you for the reply. Your video was excellent, clear and very explanatory. I can do the points, etc, but need to learn how to ck the coil. No fire & I think there's my problem.
Great video as always, thanks.
Thanks for watching! Stay Safe.

What a great video! You actually took the time to explain things and set up the camera for a clear and close-up view. Well done. Many thanks!

I fully agree.
What’s the part number for the capacitors and points ?
Great job, nice to see bringing that Evinrude back to life.👍
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wish I had seen these when I had my 1973 6hp evinrude, thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your videos I enjoy your skills and knowledge. Where do you buy your engine parts from?
Just watched the whole series, this is exactly what I need to do.
Great information, I'll be doing mine to these as a refresher
Can you say roughly what the parts cost all together.
I didn't have a $100.00 in it and that was Points, Condenser, water pump, lower unit oil and gaskets.
Om Fishing thanks for the reply so you want to give a plug to your parts supplier you prefer

You dont need a puller too take off the fly wheel?..can you get the flywheel off other motors with just a socket?
I have taken the flywheel off by taking the nut off and tap the shaft with something that will not mess up the threads, but I don't like to do it that way. You can cause your self a lot of extra work.
@@OmFishing I will make a puller I think
Have you ever used the nova chips in place of points and condenser?
No I have thought about changing but never have. If I do I will video it.
The nova chips are made to work on single cylinder engines only... This is a Two cylinder engine... They will not work as far as I know...
@@Z71Ranger if I had not been already using chips since I asked this question I would have agreed but I've got 2 of them on my mercury 200 20 hp right now and yepper they work like a dream.
I have . On a 1967 Johnson 9.5 twin . Need two chips for twin . Worked great
how do you line up your coil pack? Is that a special tool or are you just making it even?
I was just making it even. I don't have the special tool. As long as it does not rub the inside of the flywheel and runs the engine I thought it would be ok!!!

very good video I'm repairing a 15 hp evinrude but I can't find the point with the platelet
the platelet moved Asia forward or backward nothing happens
Send me the model number so I can answer you better.
the model is a gale of 15 hp year 1963 buccanero
Great job

It has been sitting for at least 10 years. Nice watch,by the way! Is that a Seiko ? Cheers!
Yes that is a Seiko. My wife bought that for me when I got my diving certification. That was a few years ago. Thanks for asking.
Why you are changing a new point and condensator?
I had put a set of after market points in this motor. They looked to be very poor quality the contacts didn't line up very well. When I got some OEM points I change them.
How much is the cost of a job like that?

Great work. Did the general inspection turn up the bad points?
When I started inspection the engine for the first time. I did not have any history on this engine. I new the points were bad just by looking at them.

Nice job! Did you do any water pump or carb work on this outboard? She had a good telltale and ran smooth at idle.
I did take it apart and clean it but that is it. Just want to see how well it would run before I spend to much money. I already have about $100.00 in part and I think it was $45.00 for the motor not running.
and I did replace the impeller.
Beautiful!!! :)
yes yes
Where did get the parts
I bought the parts from boat.net
do you have a video to ck the coil on this model?
No I don't have a video on the Fisherman. I will make one in the near future.
@@OmFishing thank you for the reply. Your video was excellent, clear and very explanatory. I can do the points, etc, but need to learn how to ck the coil. No fire & I think there's my problem.
What are the point settings
The breaker point gap .020 inch. Thanks for watching.
Are the seals in the lower unit ok ?
I didn't pressure check or vacuum test them. I was going to run the motor on the water for a little while then recheck the oil.
You do know that water pump should under the water when you run the motor
Your right the water is a little low thanks.
