Well, I can honestly say that I am so glad I gave up on this one.Your deep parts bin, expertise, tools and experience working on these little old outboards really shines in this video! I am sorry it didn't explode spectacularly or provide the satisfaction of being a sweet little runner.

I spent 20 years as a mechanic in an OMC dealership. The two horse motor ran good. As long as it had a good compression when it was lowered from where it was the orneriness motor you could find it lives on compression. I was glad when the parts dried up, so I didn’t have to fix any more two horse motors, you gave it a good effort.

I've owned a e2rcoc 1985 model for over 20 years. She pushes my 12ft vhull 5mph wot!! Just serviced the water pump, and new seals on the lower yesterday. Thank you for your informational videos. She's a one pull pony

In spite of the fact that you didn't get a real satisfactory outcome, The video is of some use to anyone who is trying to fix one of one of these. I was gifted with a 2 hp Johnson. So far I have only 20 bucks for the cam follower (Crowley Marine) and a a few hours invested. Maybe after I get the carb cleaned and check the timing cam settings It will start. Thanks for the video.

I can attest to everything you said brandon. I started my channel for fun and it turned into an obsession. I got lucky in the beginning but def wasted a TON of time and money on junk outboards. but Im glad I did and continue to do so!! Its become a fun hobby and passion and thanks to you, Im SO much better than I was when i started!

These Evinrude 2 HP are notorious for overheating. You can replace the impeller and it may NOT fix the problem. As you did...purchase a water pump retrofit kit and that will do it.

I have a habit of fixing things that are old and putting too much money in them. I don’t care if it makes sense from a money perspective, I just like saving something old. All our stuff is old, just like me, but it all works.

Thanks for posting, always mostly entertaining. You seem like a good Dad, your patient with your son even when things are not as smooth as they can be. Keep growing your channel and having fun out there.
@murraymadness4674
it is really easy to get a 2hp electric motor, which makes these small outboards obsolete these days.

Great comments at the end mentioning evaluating when to get rid of something and the time/cost comparison. I bought a Johnson 2.0 1993 for $100 that wasn't running. I'm currently down $50-60 in parts (head gasket, sealer, piston rings, etc) +tools I needed for testing it (compression tester, flywheel removal tool, etc). Now I'm about $200+ into it and don't have it fixed yet. I could have bought a cheap amazon one for that much, or a decent long tail for a couple hundred more and less time tinkering.

I always enjoy your videos and by watching them you've helped me revive a 79 9.9 Johnson outboard. I hope your channel grows to a point where you can make some return on these videos.
