Thanks for sharing that. Fond memories of Johnson and Mercury outboard engines as a kid growing up around boats. Not just outboard engines for boats but early gasoline engines in general.

Don't forget Evinrude.

 

... and of course Evinrude.

Yes, Evinrude to use he rescue!

I can't believe I watched an hour long video of a guy working on an outboard. Pretty neat though... it was hard to turn off. The spark advance was really wild. It looked like a lot at first, but in the end I thought it didn't seem so much after recalling my old truck. Considering a lot of smaller engines don't have any advance mechanisms it was even that much wilder.

I still can't believe that those guys could tell it was only running on one cylinder just from the sound on the video.
