Some parts came in today. Hoping for a lot more tomorrow!!!!

We test ran a 1966 9.5 hp, long shaft. It ran pretty good, needs some love, but should be a really good motor.

And a really cool thing happened today. Today was the first time we shipped parts to Spain. It went through EBay, but still cool to send parts to different countries.

1. Terry replaced the water impeller on this 1994 8 hp Johnson, it had impeller fins flipped the wrong way but wasn’t in too bad of shape. We will run it tomorrow and make sure it’s working well.

2. Customer dropped off his boat today and said fuel was running out of the air / fuel needle on this 1996 30 Hp Johnson . He is looking to sell the boat and wants us to check it out and make sure it’s running good.

Mid 80’s Honda 7.5 Hp 4 stroke long shaft.

Customer dropped this motor in from a couple weeks ago, it’s been sitting a while. We will start with the bullet hole in the mid section. Customer had a mishap and ended up with a bullet hole in the side of the mud section. Sorry I didn’t have a before picture that I can find. Last Friday I decided to patch the hole with JB Weld. The customer wanted it patched. Today Rick spent most of the day on this motor.

Today Rick started sanding down the JB Weld and then added another layer. We didn’t have the exact color blue, but he did touch it up with dark blue paint.

I pulled the carb and went through it. It was nasty and took some time. The floats were stuck in it. Rick removed the lower unit, once again, time consuming to remove the top of the gear rod. Once apart he changed the impeller, the customer had replaced the gear oil. Rick then reinstalled the lower unit and gear rod.

We replaced the fuel lines from the fuel pump to the carb, also the vent line. Reinstalled the carb. Tried to test run it but it wouldn’t run. No fuel coming into the carb. Cleaned the filter in the fuel pump and disconnect the fuel line coming into the carb and no fuel. Removed the fuel line coming into the fuel pump and still nothing.

Removed the fuel line and fuel inlet from the motor and it was stopped completely up. Replaced that line and cleaned the fuel inlet. Now we have fuel getting to the fuel pump and to the carb. Motor fired up and runs but still needs some tuning. Ran it a bit, but we want to tune it in first thing in the morning and get it all running smooth. Rick spent a lot of time today on this one, but it’s all coming together now.

Sharing a little about this Honda 7.5 hp. Patched a hole in the mid section and worked on the fuel system and lower unit. Getting there.

1965 Evinrude 9.5 hp 2 stroke, short shaft.

We have cleaned the points and tested the coils. New spark plugs and flushed the fuel system. It also has a new impeller, gear oil and drain plug seals.

We also ended up replacing the lower unit with a good used one. The driveshaft was frozen/rusted in the crank and it came out if the lower. The driveshaft tops some work to get out. We left it yesterday and got back on it this morning. Rick and myself tried to free it up and worked it back and forth and side to side then Terry and myself locked the puller on it, and worked together to get it freed up and out.

Cleaned it up and cleaned the crank splines out with the old driveshaft. When we went to reinstall it in the lower unit the lower plate and bushing was moving. We lifted it out, short version “ it is broken” out to the bone yard and found a lower, checked the shifting on it, felt good. Removed it, brought it in, cleaned it up, drained the gear oil, it looked dirty but ok. Cleaned everything up, Fresh gear oil, new drain and vent seals, new impeller and then we reinstalled it making sure it slipped into the crank smoothly. Put it in a test tank, hooked fuel to it and pulled it twice, fired right up. Ran it for a bit. Got some videos and tested shifting, pees great and runs smooth. Idles well, revs up and the motor mounts are in pretty good shape on this one.

Tim cleaned it up and we are listing a t for $350 obo . Comes with a 60 day warranty on all work that we performed on it.

3 Stories in one post.

1. We have had this Olympic for a while. We have been looking for a lower unit for this 85 hp 2 stroke Suzuki. We have the original but it has some serious issues. So the boat has sat here. The customer wants to sell the boat, and he has been generous to allow it to stay while we looked. We spoke with him and ask if we could swap the motor and get the boat ready to sell. He was in agreement. Friday afternoon I pulled the boat out. Today the guys pulled the Suzuki 85 hp and installed an OMC 85 hp. It will still need the remote replaced, the engine tuned up and everything tested. But great progress on this one today.

2. Next we have Tim’s boat that he wants to build. We also had this older 50 hp Mercury. So we grabbed it and installed it on his boat. We at least got started on the install. It’s bolted on and the steering is through.

3. Dan has a few motors with us, when I got back from the drs today I came and helped some. We picked up Dans 1970 Electric Shift 60 hp OMC 3 cylinder. He wanted us to check it out. As you can see from the last few pictures. Parts are disconnected and hanging off. The starter turns but not correctly. Wiring would need to be replaced. Because of the starter we wasn’t able to test the electric shift.

Because it needs a starter, wiring, carb kits, impeller, gear oil (type c) plugs, thermostats and who knows what else, it isn’t feasible to fix this one. It’s better for him to part it out and sell off the parts. He will pick it up tomorrow.

2006 Suzuki 140 hp 4 stroke and 2007 Suzuki 6 hp 4 stroke.

The 140 hp is reading a bad Map Sensor, we have that ordered. It also had trouble peeing. We have replaced the impeller and today the guys replaced the thermostat. It’s hurry up and wait now for the map sensor. As soon as it’s in, we will install it and reset the codes and test it again.

The 6 hp had a leaking fuel pump and needed an impeller and gear oil. Terry rebuilt the fuel pump, we flushed the fuel system and they replaced the impeller and gear oil and it’s good to go now!
