FREE JOHNSON SEAHORSE 7.5 HP OUTBOARD REVIVAL!! Two stroke trash to treasure. HOW TO FIX AND REPAIR.

Welcome back! In this short episode I take you along with the revival of an old 1980 Johnson Evinrude OMC 7.5 hp two stroke Seahorse propeller drive outboard motor. I found this several years ago just overgrown in the grass behind somebodies house, and recently I was walking in the saem area and remembered the motor, so I decided to pop by the house and ask if they were doing anything with it. Turns out they weren't even aware it was back there, and so they let me take it for free! Not a bad deal, from that regard! No history is known other than it sat there, exposed and on the ground for several years. The previous owner tried to get it running, but was unsuccessful and so left it to die :(. Well, now that we got our hands on it she's back on the transom and pushing an old boat around once more! All told, this motor went from abandoned and overgrown to rippin' around the lake in approximately 25 hours. Couldn't have had more fun doing anything else! Maybe we will explore sand casting to try and make a toroidal propeller for the unit... Enjoy!
