1976 25hp evinrude snaped exuast

[nick271]

G'day again guys still working on this old 76 that died when I hit a log full throttle
So thanks to everyone for the tips and tricks about the back firing and timing issues
I pulled the flywheel and fixed the woodruff key got it started again
In the process of getting the flywheel off which was as stuck as stuck could be had a rounded nut from previous owner or owner before him
Iv had to strap the flywheel down tight to be able to get the nut off in the process the exuast has clean snaped I put a couple of pictures up not sure if it cracked when I hit the log or if it's just from straping the flywheel down to apply pressure or both
But dmg is done time to move onto the issue at hand
I have a 1978 spare parts motor im wondering if I can just swap the exhaust out and it will be all good or have I snaped some kind of housing that needs replacing as well or possibly if I can just swap the body with the exhaust from the 1978 spare parts to the 1976 running motor
Really appreciate all the help and love the forum thanks legends

I think you candle this job on your own.----No need for the industrial language.

I just need to know if the 78 exuast will work on the 76 or if I will need to order a new exuast
Also does anyone know of a good break down vidio for pulling a exuast out as it's not something iv done before

 

[nick271]

Also not 100% sure it's just the exuast that's snapped or the housing or something else
Ment to add these 2 photos not the video of me starting it to realise I snapped it

Colorful language is how I speak.... especially working on outboards but we don't know how young the Joey's are in here.

That being said, post a picture a little bit farther back, becauseI don't believe you've broken the exhaust at all. That is where the motor pivots to go right and left or port and starboard on your boat.

That shouldn't be that hard to get out other than sometimes if you're around a lot of salt they can be.

I'll do some checking to see if those two motors are compatible but I believe they probably are.

Definitely a joey when it comes to boat motors
Iv always loved out outboards and working on them my self Definitely not a mechanic by any means but I learn as new problems show up cause a few my self but bloody determined at times
Hears a vido after I ripped the 78 apart to see what's going on should be a straight swap
And your right Definitely not the exuast like I thought it's the mount that snaped so as long as they align should be all good

Unfortunately can't do much else today as I have no degreaser or Greece gun to clean up the middle section from the old 78 that hasn't been started in 20 years according to the bloke I got it off
And being good Friday everything's closed so rest of the repair will Unfortunately have to wait till my next day off

 

[nick271]

Is there anything else on this old middle section I should look at well it's off? Any seals on Greece points on the turning section? May as well do it right well it's off

Many ways to skin a cat but I'm pretty sure you could do it anyway you wanted to do.... your good.

As to the other question, grease, heat, time, money, bushings, seals, scraping, digging, cussing, bleeding, stroking, yep Happy Times!
