Just for reference, here's a 56 I restored years ago. Great running motor, kinda sorry I sold it.

I always use premium ethanol free gas in all my old motors.

Reminds me of a three legged, one eyed dog named "Lucky".

The guys came by and picked up the motor. Put it on the boat and took it to the river and backed it down the ramp. Fired right up, pumped water and idled down and purred like a kitten. Two cases of the king of adult beverages and everyone is happy.

I put a chalk mark about 8" above the pump so the owner could run it in a barrel. Supposed to pick it up today.

Never worked on Mercs, only Johnson/Evinrudes. Not seeing any screens on either side, only one just above the prop. Probably put it in a barrel.

All the videos I've seen are using a hose screwed into the lower unit. Can't see where muffs would work. Thanks.

Working on a friends 9.9 (1994) I think. Cleaned the carb and replaced the fuel lines. I want to run it out of the river so I need to know what kind of fitting screws into the lower unit to hook up to a garden hose.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. It's a 73.

So there is a guy advertising a 20 hp Johnson saying it is now a 25 hp just by changing the high speed jet from an .068 to a .072. Is that all it takes? I know the CI is the same.

Here's a 55 I did a fews back.

"She's a beaut Clark"

Must have been a hell of a man to "toss" a 9.9 in the back of a boat.

Did it run good before you pulled the head? If so, replace the gasket and enjoy.

Richline?

Apparently, grease was used years ago in lower units. My 1953 Evinrude Fleetwin operators manual states that the "new" design uses hypoid oil instead of grease.

Looks like the head might have been replaced?

I redid an RD-17E a few years back. Good running motor, but heavy. Would make my 14' Richline scoot right along!

No air filter. Basically just a sound deadening air chamber.
