 Sheba 1000 here. Today I'm standing beside the 1969 John Boat. It's titled as a 14-foot. It doesn't give a just you know it's a V-Haul. It doesn't give what brand it is or anything like that. Now what I'm coming up with when I researched this the closest thing I can come up with what it looks like to me is a CNIM and I've seen a lot of CNIMs around. I haven't seen a 69 but I've seen a lot of CNIMs around and it kind of looks more like that than anything. The guy we bought it from he was guessing it was like a Starcraft or something like that. But the back end of them look a little different back in those years. But anyway first thing we're gonna do is try to get this engine to fire. We'll see what's wrong with it. I know on the work order it said it didn't have spark. They cleaned the points and that didn't help so they put a put a new set of points and condenser in. I believe this has two sets. So did they put one set in or two sets in? You saw what they did that stupid wheel bearing over there so. Alright guys let's get that checked out first before we do anything else to see what we're looking at. We're gonna probably check the controlling motor and make sure it works. So we'll go from there. Sit tight, get you some cold drink, relax for a few minutes. Let's see what we can do with this old girl. Okay guys also something I need to do is I need to check this motor out a little bit more. Now I've seen a lot of them on YouTube and stuff that were 68's which they're thinking that's what this is but usually the 68's would have this this part right here would have an 18 on it a big one eight. So I'm gonna have to run these numbers and see there's also little differences in them. This one's got three things up here. One's a choke, one's a slow to lean out your slow mixture and one's a fast. It adjusts your air fuel mixture for like a higher rpms. A lot of the smoke well all the 68's I've seen on YouTube that were confirmed to 68 only had the choke and the slow speed mixture on it out front here. So this one's got the high speed out here so it may be a 63. I'm gonna get some numbers off here and check it out and I'll let you know. Right down in here right in this part right here there should be a little thermostat in there. Now there was another guy that was showing how to put a pist tube in here and bring it out. So there should be a thermostat right down in here. Now his was a 68 so I'm not exactly sure what is going on here and also it doesn't it doesn't open wide open so it'll get close it'll get about three fourths throttle and that's it. So I've checked that out and this is pretty pretty stiff here for some reason so the throttle but it does look like they may have put new plugs in it and you really can't get them mixed up because this one says up right on it right there on that little tag. So the first thing we're going to do I think we're going to check this thing for spark because it said it didn't have spark. Okay now whether they got spark after that I don't know because he said that they told him it was running beautiful it was running great. He took it out put it on the water and it wouldn't start. So what I'm guessing since it was in there fiddling around with them points I'm pretty sure it has dual points. Did they did they adjust them both? Did they replace them both? Did they replace one set? I don't know. It feels like it's got good compression but anyway it's going to tell us something when we pull these plugs out of here so they are tight so let me go get a wrench we'll pull the plugs out we'll check it for spark. Okay these are 13 sixteenths I'm just going to use a wrench they might just going to use a wrench so I don't break them as easy because these uh both motor spark plugs are a little different now I guess not they use regular plugs in them which I'm going to be changing that I don't like the idea of these plugs in here. Usually they're really weird looking to keep moisture off of them that one looks a little fouled out looks a little fouled out. Let's pull it over and see okay now I want to try to see if I can see any spark. This is up it could be something stupid it could be something serious it's kind of hard to do here but I'm not seeing any spark on that one try number two or the down wish I had electric start sounds like it but okay this one has some spark because I just felt it and I'm in the sunny part of the day here okay this one I'm feeling spark through here so is it getting fuel it looks like it is there's fuel in there and down here in Florida you got three times a day it's either ass busting hot it's either raining or it's dark so I'm gonna just stick this in here right now and I'm gonna go get my spark tester and put on here and maybe we'll see it a little bit better hang tight okay you can see I got my tester on here now you know maybe it just didn't start maybe flooded it I don't know but see the problem is it's kind of hard to pull that rope and look at that at the same time we're looking for this to like lighten up brighten up and I can't see it lighten up but it's dark there it's also bright out here let's go ahead let's pull it over a couple times and see if we can get it fire if we get it fire we will put it in some water what they call a tank test maybe I can do this without getting shocked let's see yeah it's a very weak spark very weak I can feel it let's just pull it over a couple times and see see if we can get it to fire these are auto light plugs and I don't like them I like the Bosch I'm gonna turn this over this way make sure it's in neutral should be neutral what you guys looking at here and you can see the motor okay I think all right it's got some fuel could be flooded it's real slow it's shift let's go to start I think what I'm gonna do I'm gonna pull this off the top of it off there I won't check in points we'll check the points see why we're getting a as I can feel a spark but it's not lighting my tester up and it's not sparking a plug so let me go get some tools figure out what's going on with this thing okay guys I went in to get some tools as you can see I don't have any tools out here well that's because I realized I didn't have the choke on so there's choke I got it on I got the throttle on the start let's see what happened give it some maybe flooded now let's get it in some water okay guys I'm gonna do this for you again I did it once it didn't hit record so we're gonna be wanting to see water spit out these out of this hole right here okay so see if it'll start first thing we need to do is this throttle it's really hard to really hard to turn so I think I'm gonna take out a part and see what's going on with that oil it up whatever see what's happening with that so what I'm gonna do guys pretty hot out here I'm gonna grab a screwdriver I'm gonna take that screw out see what see if this comes off I'm I'm not sure I never had one of these ones off of here before but it's really it's really hard to turn so let me go grab a screwdriver and I'm gonna pull that screw out there and I'll get back with you because this camera is not liking heat so let me get that screw out of there get that apart and I'll show you what I did okay guys this is what I got here this is part of the throttle what I did was I started taking the handle apart all the way back through there and everything was fine up until I got to this part which just goes up in here like this it hooks on to there and it's got a funny little clip and that's you know that it will operate the throttle through this it'll turn this and that opens and closes your throttle now I got to looking at this thing because I thought well it doesn't want idle well that's because you couldn't turn it up because someone has broke the bolt off not just there but there too somehow so well okay here's my culprit because this was real hard to turn with everything else unhooked it goes right in here and it was real hard to turn okay so what this does this piece goes on here like that and this piece was getting stuck down in there it didn't want to turn you can see how shiny that is there it was binding up well I should just slide right up out there of course it didn't I barely put any pressure on it and it broke so I got to go source one of these out I think that that's my idle issue it is pumping water so I gotta go see if I can find one of these I random numbers the engine numbers are right there and that that first number 18 302l okay the 18 is how many horse it is this is a 302l makes it 1963 so let me go ahead and let's go see if we can find one of these on the internet if I doubt if I could find one around here so let's go ahead and find one of these yeah that was really well so shiny that is it was just binding up there all right find one of these on the internet and I'll let you know what I found out okay guys so this is what I got well I just got tied up with my shit okay damn okay this is what we got going on here I got that broken bolt out there it was just plastic okay so I found one that fits that I've got one of these ordered it was only 30 bucks okay now what I'm gonna try what I did was I drove that out okay and I stuck a bolt in there this is the original thing so we're gonna take it out and try to put it on because I want to I want to get that get the carburetor adjusted the way it should be and that well that just fits in there just perfect okay so what I want to try to do is get it on there enough to where I can you know at least run it and get the carburetor the way it should be so I know that bolt's too long I've got a shorter one over here if that one's too long I do have a shorter one that can go in there so let's take this out I'll throw it on and we'll see if it if it's gonna work for us okay guys I think I got it pretty close it's still gonna be it's still gonna need adjusted when it's under a load when it's in the water but you can do that up here with these knobs here I'll show you in a minute so let's go ahead and start this up we're getting there guys monkey's on our way back so let's go in house cool down a little bit well first let me show you this is what I did there it stuck a bolt down in it that would work in a pinch it's working all right now I mean I wouldn't trust it go on a trip with it but there's a controls them I was telling you about rich and lean that's your your fast your high speed this is your low speed rich and lean here's your choke and there's your kill switch all right it's going to house man it's hot out here again so there it is guys it's a runner I I don't know if he wasn't if he just didn't choke it and kept pumping the ball because if you pump them bulbs there's a floating in carburetors if you pump them too much it'll actually force the float down you know so it can get past the seat and it'll flood out so maybe he did that and it wasn't choked I don't know I think maybe it was just flooded because I was gonna go ahead and pull the flywheel off I'm glad I didn't because it would have been a waste of time I couldn't see a spark but it was so bright out there I couldn't see my tester light not but again it was so bright when I go every footage I might see it but you know you guys might have seen it better than me but I can feel it when I barely pulled it and touched it I can feel it running through my arms so I knew it had a good spark and then I just got to thinking I said you know what let's try it let's choke it so that's when we went back out and tried it with a choke and wide open and it started firing in and then kicked over I I'd say he just had it flooded so so my part will be in next week it'll be in next to the Monday or Tuesday yeah Tuesday 15th ish 14th or 15th it should be in so and I'll get that put back on the way it's supposed to be and that throttle will will work nice and smooth it's working pretty smooth now but there's some movement in that gear so kind of you know like I said I wouldn't trust it if I went with one more size bigger bolt it'd probably work I could probably put a dowel rod in there there's ways you can fix that stuff but you know for 30 bucks I just went ahead and bought a new one and it is new believe it or not I went on one website that's $128 but it was a marine website so no way I ain't paying no more than 40 or 50 bucks monkey just pulled in so I found that one for 30 free shipping so it'll be here next week so tomorrow maybe we'll check out the trawling motor make sure all the gears working in I think it's a five speed and I'll check on some hubs they're usually 30 or 40 bucks a piece so you know we're still under the 414 hundred you know we got it for 1200 which was prepared to pay the 1400 but so we're still under the price of what we was actually prepared to pay for the boat he's paying that you know needs a little stuff like that the main thing we get the engine all the transmission does work I did put it forward and reverse and the prop did spend both ways and neutral works and as you see in this piss of water like it should so anyway guys monkey serious I'm gonna get off here and I'm gonna show you shit I'm gonna say she better to met the man legend start her boat up for her so she near run she'll be happy thanks for watching guys appreciate it and we'll chat soon enjoy the rest of your week bye bye guys take care
