Those of you that saw the 1957 18hp Fastwin that I bought the other week, I liked it so much I went out and bought her cousin, a 1957 Johnson 18hp. She is all original and in great shape. Just got 135 psi on both holes, so pretty happy. Only downfall is cant get the flywheel off, one of the...
Someone emailed me about some parts they wanted, so put an old 1959 35HP Elto on the stand that I got off an old OMC mechanic that is now retired and was cleaning out some old motors. Pulled the parts they needed, then thought while Im at it might as well pull all the rest of the usable parts...

Hi Dave, I really need your advice on a serious problem: I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs: if the phone rings and I answer, the caller hangs up; she goes out with the girls a lot. I try to stay awake to...
Just picked up this beautiful 1957 Fastwin at the local meet today. Electric start with the harness, solenoid box, shift cables and controls, key switch, etc etc etc
Beautiful original. All for the low price of $160! Now to figure out what boat to put it on?
Not able to look up right now, and need the flywheel nut torque value for a 71 18hp Evinrude Model 18102? Im fairly certain it is 45 ft/lbs, but want to verify before I tighten her down.
Afternoon,
Neighbour called me over to adjust his carb for him, but being a OMC 2 stroke guy, I wasnt sure of the adjustments on it.
I did not look, what is the needle/jet setup on this model? There is likely a fixed high speed jet, adjustable low? Any help would be great.
Was having dinner when the phone rang. Fellow said he heard I collected outboards. This is great, dont even have to search for them anymore! Nothing super rare, and only 1 OMC like I normally collect, but Ill take them, the price was right.

Following up on an ad for an old 38, I met a 'picker' that had this collection of outboards. I obviously bought everything. Lots of interesting stuff. Find that testing panel cool. Lots of old tanks, oil cans, motors, parts, etc., etc., etc.,
The one AC35 Im curious about. Looks newer than...

Motor in question is a '58 35hp Evinrude, model 35515
I cannot remember off hand, on the motor end, which pin is for what? I am rigging up different test stands with built in key switches, solenoids and bus bars, with quick connectors for testing different motors, but cannot remember which of...
Evening Gents,
I have run into a problem that I have not seen before.
Currently working on a 1958 35hp Evinrude 35515
Before I begin, I would like to mention that this motor is on a test stand, not installed on a boat.
With the plugs out, the motor will spin as it should. Once I install a...
This one will be a personal motor on a cedar strip. Doing a complete restoration, down to every last bolt. Completely torn down right now, soda blasting and full paint.
Pulled the powerhead apart, walls were pretty good for a 57, light rust, rings were all stuck. Piston does have some light...

Has anyone found a suitable material to fabricate packing washers from? Go through quite a few of them and starting to get sick of paying $1.75 a pop. Have tried a cork material, but couldnt get it to hold together quite right, due to the minute size I imagine. Make my own gaskets, yet dont...
Re: trying to decide if my 1976 35 hp johnson is worth sending to the shop.
That is great news. Be sure to torque to spec, which I believe is 14 ft/lbs, need to verify that as Im cluster brained right now, and torque in the proper order, to maintain an even seal. Start in the center...
