Another one back from the dead great job Glenn! I love the old patina on the body but when you open her up she looks mint! She did not give up easy but runs really good now just like it was new. Once you figure out that roller Was bent what a bugger! What a hard problem to figure out. But they can't resist coming back to life in your hands 😁 Keep up the great work looking forward to seeing what you drag out next. Have a great night Glenn👍🏻
Thanks Chris yes that bent rod took me days to discover it. You know along with the no spark in one cylinder and a bad impellar that was too soft didnt help.But the bottom line is I expect the multipe issues thing as its all part of the game and I like the challenge. I do just walk away when the crap hits the fan,HA! Stay tuned and well see whos next,LOL...If I can get that wetblaster going eventually it will be a breeze to remove all the paint its on my list cause I do love to paint. I started on cars years back so im not new to it... anyhoo later & you take care................
Another good video. Many people would have never found the problem with the bent carb cam throttle roller. That is why some of us like the challenges of working on these older outboards. We never really know what is in store for us. In addition, just makes me wonder how some of those parts get so damaged. You have a lot of knowledge in your arsenal now of what to look for, and sharing it. Thank you.
Thanks Ralph yeah that was a doozy and I shook my head when I finally realized it was bent when I removed it from the engine after days.Just amazed on how bad the engine ran because of that issue.It was actually bent two ways. Well this motor did come from a scrapyard back in the 1990S but It did have the cover on. I think it was intentionally bent because of a novice repaired carburetor spring problem on the throttle shaft as I mentioned.Thanks for tuning in ...
Oooooo, this old dog is a "fighter" for sure. It almost seems like some of them have a personality and just want to be left alone to die, they will fight you every step of the way! Funny you should have encountered that issue with the cam follower roller linkage, I am experiencing the same issue right now with a 58 10HP. I thought I swapped everything trying to figure out why I could not set up with sync properly... Hmm, thought I swapped out that piece, but perhaps not. My question just how does it get bent that way....Now I can't wait to get home to look at that 10HP again. Mine had been dropped at some point, had a nice hole through one of the covers, so I "assssuuumed" there must have been some sort of damage to one of the castings. As far was the impeller goes, I will not use any of that chinese/Amazon junk, not worth the gamble. And yes, we must be so darn careful mixing and matching stuff. Now I can't wait to investigate the part numbers on the two different upper carb bodies to see if they are the same... Don't beat yourself up over that darn rewind pulley, we have all "been there and screwed that up" for sure. I love this engine cuz it looks like some old hunk o junk from the outside. Would be so cool to arrive at the boat launch with it, watching others snicker at it, until they hear it run!
I think the roller cam rod was bent purposely to compensate for the wrong spring orientation on the upper carb. side throttle shaft to at least get some throttle not sure.I agree with the personality thing,LOL! I would think there is definitely two differnent P/Ns on those upper carb. bodies the metering tube is almost twice the O.D.,larger hole tapped to screw in, & has the six holes as to the 15S two holes.Good Luck with your 10HP Luv those 58S.In the Spring I might give it a baytest with a rental boat along with some others and video it will see ,HA!!!!
Need parts I have it most likely 1950S-80S 2HP -40HP OMC Mostly E-mail me at my TH-cam home page
Wow that s amazing nice job and thanks for the tips a great video for outboard oldy guys...Frank
Thanks & Stay Tuned for the next adventure,LOL!
