- It's This Old Outboard. 1987 6 Hp Johnson First Run and Why it Runs Cold.
It's Freezing! While checking the Thermostat again I had an Epiphany !
I wasn't going to post this video because things didn't go as planned. Parts didn't come in on time. But What the Heck, it's the Real Life Saga Baby !
You Never Know What's Gonna Happen Next ! So Stay Tuned !
It's This Old Outboard. YOU KNOW THE CHANNEL - บันเทิง
I appreciate you sir ! Bought my first boat with an outboard. I've learned so much from this channel. Thank you again ! your a cool dude and I wish you was my neighbor.
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Any time I can help just ask! Thanks again & Stay tuned !
Always something with those motors..Thought Sasquatch was coming up behind you there😳
Was thinking the same thing!
So was I. I forgot to put the caption in. Hahahah, I even told him he looked like bigfoot in the video!
When I tinker with my old outboards, I always use a good headlamp. Works so good! My eyesight is also sadly not improving with age. 😔
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Good idea!
I have been getting the white paint pens at Hobby Lobby. Sounds good though.
Thanks !
I have a 1956 30hp Johnson and it doesn’t have a thermostat but my 59 Johnson 35 hp does have one great videos 👍🏻🤘🏻
Hey. Yeah I went crazy looking for one on my 63 28 hp RX11. No thermostat either! Thanks again !
Great post can't wait to see your next one hopefully you get your parts catch you next time
Thanks 👍
Finally things are starting to warm up! I've been getting outside and getting tanned up for the spring and summer. I really miss those smaller outboards. When I was a kid, that was my favorite thing in my life. An old 9.5 Johnson outboard. I kept is in the corner of my bedroom when I wasn't using it. I painted my neighbors house. I got 300 bucks for that and went right out and bought that used Johnson for 300 bucks. I think that was around 1974.
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. You got a deal at $300 in 74! Thanks again & Stay tuned !
Good find and you did the right thing buying a new one should of contacted me I have them but your getting a new one so thats that. Repairing that head is possible too with a copper tube insert but thats another story ! Nice motor in all!!!
Yeah big pain in the azz! Didn't want to deal with it! Thanks again !
@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 I like your new look too.HAAA!
@@OutBoardTink62 hahaha just my yearling buzz!
Man I can’t believe you got that lucky on those head bolts
I did too,HA! Hes lucky they were 5/16 bolts and not 1/4 20 they would of snapped like pretzels,LOLLL! Never use power tools for headbolts and especially Florida with its extreme high salt content in the water. Sustained heat and 6 point sockets by hand on each stuck bolt is the only way. Been doing this thing for years...Oh Well cant teach and old dog new tricks,LOLl!
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yeah after getting a good look at that thermostat housing I was a little worried but they looked pretty good! Thanks again & Stay tuned !
Power tools rule! Hehehee
I would have just fixed that housing with marine grade epoxy putty or your old favorite - JB weld. Slick way to meet women, help me, my motor is broke.
Yeah I was thinking about it but didn't want to spend the time doing it. Just replace it and get it over with! Hahaha Thanks again !
Block corroded lip gone.
Heliarc aluminum weld or get used head.
Unusual for that to happen.
I have a 1978 7.5 in salt water still good.
In 1970s all the Mercury s dissolved in salt water and OMCs lasted .
Merc had steel shift and drive shafted all rusted and blocks water covers rotted through .
We still have 1970s 70 HP 3 cylinder an 115v4 Evinrude Johnson used here all over in salt water!!
A sin OMC Evinrude Johnson gone bankrupt...
Enjoy your fun hobby !
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Yeah picked up a used one on ebay. Yeah too bad about OMC. Thanks again & Stay tuned !
Nice video like you're content quick question I have a 50 ho Johnson outboard And it's a 1973 and IAM looking for the throttle control box you wouldn't happened to have one that you might want to sell or anyone that watches your videos
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. I don't, but ebay is your best bet and check craigslist, offerup and facebook marketplace. Thanks again !
Maybe the previous owner made that passage so in case the tstat don’t open it won’t overheat.
Never know ! Thanks again !
a cold motor will actually produce more power at full throttle. thats why racing motors dont even have t stats installed.its just everywhere else thats the issue:). i you want a head i have atleast 2 of em' i can send you!
Yeah I just did a video about that, cooler weather, faster motor! Gained 3 mph! But it had a thermostat in it. Summer time in Florida not a big deal, winter time needs that thermostat! I bought one on ebay, it should have been here 3 days ago but the guy took his sweet time mailing it out. It was in Lakeland, Fl. Thanks again !
@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 agreed! well reach out to me next time will ya? ive got a ton of parts for these little guys! happy to send some if you handle shipping... you know for the channel:) i recently acquired an entire closed dealers parts inventory, too.
@@ct1762 Wow! Sweet! Thanks !
Hello master,Do you have any videos about johnson 9.9 1968?I need to rebuild the carburetor.Tks
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. No I don't think so but they're all the same. Go to marineengine.com and look up your year/model. Get the rebuild kit. Then check out my carb cleaning video and make sure it's extremely clean. Thanks again & Stay tuned !
WOW - That's a big piece to be missing in the thermostat housing. I can understand how you wouldn't be able to see it (or even look for it) in your videos, but your detective work finally paid off. Motor sounds too good to have more trouble, but I do wonder how the hole happened. Nice work and nice video TOO.
Thanks again for tuning in!
The thermostat is open at full speed normal
Hey Randy. Thanks for tuning in. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Check out the next episodes to find out why! Thanks again & Stay tuned !
How would you adjust timing on that with no points? Or is that next?
Hey thanks for tuning in. It's a 1987 cdi, Capacitor discharge ignition. no points. It has a timing pointer and timing marks on the flywheel. You still have to synchronize it with the mark on the throttle cam and cam follower. Thanks again & Stay tuned !
Hey, amazing how that little motor pushed that big heavy boat at such a fair clip. It would make a great trolling motor and save a lot on fuel costs. More over, let another epiphany strike you: dump that 60 all thogeter as what's the rush on getting to the other side of the lake ... or back home from a fishing outing. 😁
Hahaha. One of these days I might get one! Thanks again !
Would be cool to see you try marine jb weld as an experiment.
If it was my motor I probably would have. Thanks again & Stay tuned !
Johnson's and rudes before 1990 all run so cool at least from my experience mercs run a lot hotter I have an 79 35 rude that runs super cool and I'm out of miami so it gets hot as shit lol mid summer you can keep your hand on the block indefinitely
Hey. Thanks for tuning in. Maybe your thermostat is stuck open or the wrong temperature for that outboard. Thanks again & Stay tuned !
