Re: Video of 1957 35 hp please help

I hate to say it but I also observed the motor running and it was noisy at the first of video and very very noisy at the end of video when the engine just stopped all of a sudden and I thought I heard you say wt?. I would do a compression check first on the cylinders to see what its compression is per-cylinder to see if engine did in fact lock up and to help see what kind of shape its in. It sounds like it overheated do to lack of water circulation or lack of oil in fuel. The only other thing I can think of is you leaned out the high speed needle to much. You said you turned it way in and back out a bit so what you thought was it jumping out of gear may have been the motor severly sneezing do to lack of fuel at high speed rpms that would be great because the engine may not have seezed up do to overheating but to lack of fuel which is not great but better than to overheating. If you get it to run again make sure it is pumping water as it should. Anytime I start any of my outboards I always make sure they are pumping water which for most of mine is usually not more than 60 seconds if not I turn them off immediately and find out why they aren’t. Hope that helps,

Joe
