Running an old antique outboard Mercury KE4 1950

This is the latest in our series of videos that are mainly instructional in nature. My Dad (Doug Penn www.penn.itgo.com), and I try to show how to run some old iron and offer advice etc. This video introduces several new concepts. The first is humor and the second is a sort of storyline (namely, taking the kids to the park). I teach video production at the high school and college level so I am putting my knowledge into practice. I hope you like it.

cool vid, do you think a 1975 9.9 evinrude will push a 16' aluminum boat ok? or not enough power?

[pennnamebooks]

If you are alone in the boat - OK.  If you have more than yourself it would be weak I think.

Everyone on the web is a prick saying the Pedo stuff.

Great Vid, good fun, I think you need some carb work though, should not need to run with it choked... Nice!

[cpgixxer]

It shouldn't, you have a dirty carb if that's the case

[kevinwohljr]

thats what my boat motor dose when you put the choke all the way in
