I did not know about the water thing and let mine run reving it up over and over again for a good minute or more until cylinders got toasty, checked out this video and decided to check the impeller. It looked good as new.. I wouldn't recommend doing this but people get their panties in a bind. These engines are built like tanks and I will put my 60hp Sportifour against any yamaha or non OMC anyday.
After running it dry, you'll need to replace water pump empeller. For every second it runs dry the fast the empeller wears out. Doesn't matter if you just ran water in it.
j'ai le meme moteur mais qui ne demarre pas, les bougies sont neuves et elles sont activées electriquement, j'ai nettoyé entierement le carburateur mais il ne demarre pas
@kenitra38470 Bonjour Essaye un autre reservoir et boyau d'essence, ca se peut qu'il y a un blockage ou un probleme de pression qui empeche l'alimentation d'essence. Tiens-moi au courant. Si cela ne fait pas, achetes un Mercury !
unfortunately, you have just totally fried your water pump impeller. People do this all the time. You must NEVER run an outboard without a steady supply of water to the pump. The impeller is made from soft rubber & will melt in seconds if not pumping water.
Totally not true , I rebuild outboards all the time and they can run for short periods without water with no damage to the pump, the pump design (flexible vien pump ) allows this, in my main line of work with deal witrh alot of industrial pumps and this is one of the specific benifits of this style of pump unlike a progresive cavity which will wreck itself in seconds .
Im can't give you the exact amount, but one year back, it took my dad and uncle, plus my cousin and myself, to carry this engine on a "sling" 250 feet... my guess 575lbs.... please post the front of the cover if you can.... Happy and safe boating
I just boat a 1976 Larson 15' with this 1967 Evinrude 80HP. It works great --starts right up. Right now I set the lower unit in a large barrel of water with the hose running inside and in order to flush it. Do you know of a attachment that I can use to flush this motor more easily -- ears don't work and I want to use it is salt water an store it on a boat lift --so I can't pull it out of the water after each salt use but I am hoping to find a way to flush it on the boat lift ?? Any help?

That guy's so cool, 80hp is impressive! I love polluting the air. I love releasing gases into the air to threaten our environment. It's so fun. I spend $8 a weekend on gas, because I drive around just to burn gasoline and pollute the air. IT'S SO FUN AND COOL!!! Stupid Al Gore. I'll kick his nuts out of his girlfriend's backpack.
thats true, i had water connected up to it just before i put it away but forgot to tape it running so i only ran it for 25 sec so it wouldn't over heat.

thats not totally true, i have owned more outboards then a normal person should
this month along i have bought 5 more
i start engines all the time for just a minute, enough to see if they run.
because at my shop i have no water until it rains. when i try them in a barrel they still pump water.
water pumps should be changed every 2-3 years any way. it's not a part you want to change after it goes bad.

Hi there!
Nice engine! I've just bought the same on ebay! But there's question I want to ask. What's the weight of this machine?

running without cooling water is a great way to seize pistons, and revving without load is also a good way to throw a connecting rod

oh ok thats ok
but sometimes people that are new to boating don't know to use flushing water to cool the motor
