Great Job! Thanks, Just acquired a 1970 evinrude 9.5 .Plan to rework it. I believe it to have a broken motor mount. Your videos will help me in the restoration process.
Hey Brandon, your series on the Turtle motors is great and it helped me a lot. I picked up a '67 that hadn't run in more than ten years. It shifted, felt like it had good compression, had spark and the price was right. New water pump, thermostat lower unit seals, carb kit, fuel pump, ignition set and three days of struggling to unseat the drive shaft from the crank shaft (had to build a special tool to separate them). Finally, I am coming up on the moment of truth. I hope it purrs like yours. I have one last thing to do and that is to figure out where a small spring goes (OMC 0312164 - Spring). The parts blow up is not very helpful and the shop manual is silent on this.
In this video - th-cam.com/video/KRPx1abdDAk/w-d-xo.html You can see it at 5:40, where there is a top view of the ignition system Half way down the idle adjust knob/spring/needle, and help keeps it in place. There are 2 holes in the lower cowl to clip it on. You can see it again at 6:34 You wont see me remove it, as once the needle is out, spring is loose and falls off. However, I install it at 45:11
@@BrandonsGarage Thanks Brandon. That solves that problem. I noticed your comment about replacing the fuel line without taking apart the the arm. I can't quite make out what kind of fuel line you used to avoid that. I set my points with a feeler gage but started looking for a timing tool. By luck I found someone who used a 3D printer to make one. I should have a copy printed by tomorrow.
Took my new to me 9.5 out for the first time on my 10ft smoker craft and hit 21mph. Nice little motor. I did go through almost 3 gallons of fuel running up river several miles
Oh man, Brandon. I LOVE your channel and videos, but this is like watching a butt dial video. Gave me a bug chuckle...probably because this is also a day in my life!!
Do you happen to know what dimension the flywheel nut is? Mine is stripped, and the motor is also missing the cover for the puller holes. Is the cover really necessary, or would you say it’s replaceable with a fitting washer? Thank you for your great videos!!
That was a good rebuild, I didn't know exhaust fumes could get inside the engine cover. Does that only happen with this design or can it happen to all outboards?
Could not understand what you were doing to make it go faster. Different props? Depth or angle how the engine is attached? Just got 69 Evinrude 9.5 in unknown condition for rebuild project.
I have a 1973 9.5 that i have ordered points twice from marineengine and both times when i put them in they dont open up. i put the old ones in and it opens fine. what is the part # you use for your points so i can compare? mine is 172522 tuneup kit.
He did a video about the parts. Check it out, he went through 3 different sets of points, the information you are looking for is there, you just NEED to LOOK for IT!
@@johnaitchie38039.9’s we’re rated at the prop while the older motors like the 9.5 are rated at the powerhead. So the 9.9 would make a decent amount of more power
@@maxwilliams7834 Thanks for reaffirming that I troll allot and go 3 ounces to one Gal.... love this engine sounds like a P51 Mustang taxiing out on the runway tight lines
It's amazing how projects sometimes put up a hard fight. The fight makes it all that much more satisfying when you win.
Good job on this build. I appreciate your attention to detail, thanks for the step by step process you do.
Thanks for the video , just bought one without spark and always appreciate some insight before I tear something down. Nice work.

Awesome job on the 9.5 👍 great video .keep them coming
Looks like it is running really good well done
Good info on the challenging but good running 9.5!

Great job! You are awesome!
I am currently working on rebuilding a Johnson 9.5, needless to the say the quote of "it was a challenge every step of the way" hits so close to home.
Honestly I am stuck. I cannot figure out how to get the points plate to throttle linkage back together and no where can I find a picture of it.
Beautiful Motor !!! I could feel the Power 😃
Me and my brothers had one of those in the 1970's and 80's. It was a real trooper !
Do you happen to know what dimension the flywheel nut is?

Some more then others , that’s why the gasket is on the leg !
👍 nice
Slip a lil piece of PVC pipe over that tiller
I have a 1965 9.5 and at wot it surges pretty bad. It seems intermittent though? Coils replaced a few years back. Fuel pump?
My grandpa had a 1969 Johnson 9.5 on a homemade wood jon boat . He told me fishing when I was a kid it would probably do about 10
He's wrong lol I get 22mph out my 1967 johnson 9.5hp on a 230 sib
Could not understand what you were doing to make it go faster. Different props? Depth or angle how the engine is attached? Just got 69 Evinrude 9.5 in unknown condition for rebuild project.
yes, adjusting the trim setting / rod
What pitch prop are you running currently with a 7 pitch my 72 9.5 only does 14mph on my gheenoe
Como fica a abertura da borboleta do carburador quando acelera totalmente ? Atinge a abertura total ou ainda sobra curso pra abrir mais ?
Wonder how fast it would go with the top off?

I got put weight in front mine too, boat is bouncy if more weight in back. Fast and cheap on gas.
Which boat do you have ?
I have a chance to get one of these 9.5s. Is there much difference between the 9.5’s and the newer 9.9 2 strokes? Any noticeable difference in power?
Power? Eh, I haven't used a 9.9 recently to compare the two.
However a 9.9 is superior in every way. Buy the 9.9
Thanks. I appreciate all of your video’s
In what way I have a 9.5 and it has never let me down
@@johnaitchie38039.9’s we’re rated at the prop while the older motors like the 9.5 are rated at the powerhead. So the 9.9 would make a decent amount of more power
Im thinking mine has an issue with the revs getting up there. Mine tops out at 7 mph with 2 people.
Yeah you need a carb rebuild and a decarbon, my 6hp will do 12 with 2 people
Is it possible to increase HP on this 9.5?
I just acquired one of these in decent shape.....can you confirm the oil mixture of 3 ounces of 2 stroke oil to one galleon of fuel? Thanks DS
I personally run 2.5 ounces of tcw-3 per gallon and mine is running great, the ratio is 50:1 if you’re curious
@@maxwilliams7834 Thanks for reaffirming that I troll allot and go 3 ounces to one Gal.... love this engine sounds like a P51 Mustang taxiing out on the runway tight lines
I got one now I want. To fix it up,didn't know it would be that fast for a 9.5😊
It's all in the prop, boat weight and distribution, and how well it's running.
@@BrandonsGarage yep, and adjusting the tilt of the motor just rite. Thanks, I'm putting together it and 14' 1967 alumacraft deep v.
Tilt is very important, I use The second last hole and put gas can and whatever else in front.
Fun fast riding
Can you tell me how you control the pitch of your motor?
A bar slides through holes stopping the motor from going straight down
@@Theresponsibleguy3 Thank you.
is your boat a gamefisher , and what size boat?
That was a Lowe 12 or 14'
I don't remember
Can’t get my motor to tilt. Any suggestions?
Greased? Could be stuck from not greasing
On a few of my turtle tops they have plastic props ! Hit a rock with those and it’s toast ! Lol
What body of water are you in?
colorado river
@@BrandonsGarage the water sure is clear.
What length is the boat?
12-14 ft.
How big is that boat?
12-14 ft looks like.
Got a 9.5 on my fiberglass 12 ft.
Don`t want to be on that fast moving water with an "IFFY" motor !! Just saying.
splashing is not good i got it bad same set up
I can’t figure out why my 9.5 Johnson only goes 5 mph!!!
Probably running on one cylinder.
..or very bad weight distribution on the boat.
@@BrandonsGarage thank You 🙏 so much for replying!!!
Wow urs is fast. I cant get my more than 7.2mph.
running on one cylinder?
@@BrandonsGarage nope runs on both. New coils and carb done. Starts and runs great. Takes off like crazy and pulls until 7mph.
@@65yelrah is the boat getting on plane ?
@@evinrudej not sure, seems like it does
@@65yelrah what size boat? I was having the same problem until I re trimmed and put a new prop on then it went from 8mph to around 15 mph
Had to bail. Video much too long.
