I have the same tach and even though there is a setting for 2 cylinder 2 stroke I found that I get accurate rpms when I have it set to single cylinder. I only have the wire wrapped around 1 plug wire
@@masongetz3397 absolutely! I’ve never been more comfortable on a mini bike than this one, this is the biggest, easily accessible mini bike on the market! It’s rated for 250lbs but let’s be honest I’m pushing 300 and I fly on this thing with no concerns! Frame is super beefy
Why not go as big as possible 223 or one of those new 243 rs no replacement for displacement, I here the 212 is not too much of an upgrade from 196 but as they are great bikes have fun
Cav plate a half inch above the bottom since you have a doel fin, if you remove the doel fin make it even with the bottom, right now youre plowing that doel fin, and thats all it is brother, cheers!!!
lmao you bought an Amazon Motor and you think the hydrofoils are whats dragging you? dude buy a name brand engine. my 15hp Mariner did about 30+mph on the water on a 14foot boat with the stock prop. lol I have a 30hp on it now, scared to do over 55mph on it. tiller life lmao. Hydrofoils are great for anything 30hp and under. anything higher they are useless.
@@Z-e-r-0 I said maybe! either way I didn’t love it, not everyone can afford a name brand engine which is why I went the route I did and tried the Hangkai! Not for everyone I understand but it works for me no shame in that, happy for you and your motor
My buddy bought the rsv after I got the b200r it’s sitting in my garage! I’m heavily debating picking one up but there’s absolutely none in stock around me and I don’t care to spend an extra 200 for shipping. It rides sooo smooth with the front and rear suspension
@@SailingBiscayneBay had a previous experience where I was in a very shallow channel and my 8hp tohatsu gave out and wouldn’t start back up, got home and took the carb apart and somehow there was mud/sand type material inside of it. Wasn’t submerged or anything so I was talking from a previous incident that happened to me
Bro there is a way of determining prop size by rpm. Seeing another vid of you on the water with it makes me conclude your prop is too big because you are stressin the motor at low rpm.. Not familiar with the over sea's outboard rpm range. But if you know that number that sir is your target rpm.. Adjust prop size and or pitch to get there. 30 years as a boat mechanic.
Any suggestions on prop size I should get! I put the stock prop back on and am getting about 4000rpm. Stock prop is I think 8.25 inches? Could be wrong have to double check
Thank you for the tip! Going to find a smaller prop because I know I’m not reaching max potential with this motor. And I want my family to have just as much enjoyment as I did growing up! Nothing is better than a sunny day on the water with the family
The motor was not actually tightened down in the video I realized after I recorded! I keep the motor in my garage when I don’t use it so I threw it on it was actually hanging a little lower than it usually does
Your RPM gauge is most likely set to a 4-stroke, without "wasted spark". It's expecting 1 spark every 2 rotations, but because it's a 2-smoke (or 4-stroke with wasted spark), it will read double RPM figures. Not sure how it's reading operating time.
No forward, reverse or neutral... Just a centrifugal clutch right under the engine block. Considering some people like to go slow, there is probably not enough life in that clutch to even make it to 10 hours break-in period. With that much expected life in some of the parts, you might as well buy one of those ancient legendary 3.5 hp Yamaha "egg" motors. Also air cooled, have proven to be kinda reliable, and at least have a neutral and forward. (screw reverse, just keep on making progress and moving forwards)
I'd like to know what your stock prop was. Your new one has a 9.25' diameter, and 11 some-retard-metric pitch. But if your old prop had a larger diameter, the increased pitch sounds kinda pointless. I've got an ancient 2-smoke Johnson 9.9/15 hp. It too could fit a 9.25/11 prop. It would even go up to 12. So I wonder if the diameter was any different. You've also mentioned you've got an (chineesium wrap-around) RPM gauge on there. I'm really currious about your initial max RPM, and your new max RPM. Because that's some really important infoes too. As for sparkplugs go: at least make them have the same size. Seems like the spark plugs aren't the same length. You've used the engine, so no real damage did happen. But it would have been possible for your piston to hulk-smash your sparkplug, causing loads of damage. As for the differences between spark plugs: someone else already commented about something "p". I don't know a thing about that. But for MY outboard, there are 2 types of recommended spark plugs. One that's better for low engine RPM's, and one for high engine RPM's. It has something to do with how hot they are supposed to be able to run. NEVER use an adjustable wrench on a spark plug. You're likely to slip, and snap those buggers clean off. Get a cheap AF dedicated spark plug wrench thing. They are worth it. Also: congrats of randomly showing up @ my main YT homepage. Never watched yer content before.
Thank you so much for all the info! Deff newer to all of this so I absolutely appreciate any and all info given. And I did change the plugs back to the original ones it came with! Also got a plug puller since this video. Going to figure out the prop situation I haven’t been on the water in a week or so!
@@BigTonysRipzz More RPM's == more speed. Dropping 1500 by just a prop change, is WAY too much IMO. You should look up your engine specs. It should list when you're making peak power. And you should your engine rev up that far, maybe a bit past that. Otherwise, your leaving unused power on the table. I suggest finding a prop that will have your engine rev up slightly past peak power, to get the most performance (and speed) out of it. Once you're on plane, you should then be able to hit rev limiter maybe? (not an expert)
What is your max speed you are getting with this setup. On my 12hp I can get up to 13mPH with me and my wife. I just ordered a 18HP hoping to reach 17-18 MPh and i was thinking about using both my 12 and 18 motors at the same time!! I seen videos of people doing that so i might try that too! Do you have long or short shaft? If you have long shaft, you might have to bring up the motor a bit and change the trim settings.
I’ve played with the trim a lot! There’s for sure difference. And I’m only getting 8hp max! My setup is very heavy honestly I think it’s just too much boat for the motor! Going to look at some 50hp motors with controls and steering and see if I can make a series installing it!
@@BigTonysRipzz Honestly i would not get a new motor for your boat, what you should do is invest in a new boat. Your boat is the issue after looking at it in the picture. Get a nice Saturn inflatable or a bris. I got the 14.1 ft Bris that is AWESOME and there is plenty of room for you and your family. The reason is because a new motor that will get your boat moving to about 20mph will cost a lot more than a used boat or new inflatable boat from Saturn or Bris. I have the Bris and it is AWESOME and very strong!!!
The difference in those NGK plugs are the "P" electrode Protrudes out further than the non "P". ONLY run a "P" plug if it calls for it, you can hit the cylinder on the plug and cause damage.
@@Ajaxaxxess so originally the plugs I was talking about being no name brand were the spare plugs that came with it! So I figured they would be the same that were in the motor itself. Should I swap the plugs back to the original ones? I appreciate the info! Learning every day thanks to you all
@@BigTonysRipzz Id figure out what they are and cross reference them to a NGK. Id be leary running "p" plugs however. Most would also use a marine grade plug however with a "10" or similar after. Do the original plugs have any markings bud?
@@Ajaxaxxess Yeah,, But thats not what i was saying.. The lower number of plugs means its a hotter plug. The further the electrode enters the cylinder also means its a hotter running plug. If someone doesnt understand that a long plug can hit the piston they shouldnt be working on gas engines. And if you dont know that the longer the electrode means its a hotter running plug its time to go back and learn the basics..
I had a similar issue, i had the gas line plugged in backwards.. I had the gas can plugged into the motor input and i just reversed it and it fired right up. Also you have to have the throttle half turned when starting...
You might need to tune/adjust the throttle butterfly if you want a bit more power,i dont know your new hangkai is detune one or not but mine is detune before after you twist the throttle to the max the butterfly on the carb is not fully open.
@@BigTonysRipzz 11"give my boat higher speed compare to the original 9pitch. But the pickup shot to planing take a little longer time, if my boat is loaded with passenger the 11"pitch take even longer to plane. My experience is on my inflatable boat only, your aluminium boat might plane faster
@@Dunkolunk thank you! It fits my on the water lifestyle perfectly I used to have an open bow searay but it was too big and required too much Maintenance. Love my little sea nymph
Yes too low. Get that cav plate to be even with bottom of hull. youll notice a huge difference. My boy has a 84' Merc 18xd on a 14', was getting 14mph with whale tail. Raised up the motor to make cav plate even with bottom of hull n get 21 mph now and it pops out of the water.
Thanks for the tips! I think I’m going to take the hydrofoil off and put a new prop on with a higher pitch, I just can’t help but feel like the foil is giving me some extra drag! Also after I recorded this video I realized I never even had the motor tightened to the transom so it looked lower than usual
@@BigTonysRipzz Youll get more drag from the cavitation plate being lower than the boat vs the tail. But do some experimenting fo rsure! Let us know how it goes bud
@@a23b23 I didn’t rely to heavily on the manual, I made sure to watch actual reviews and unboxing videos on it I trust the people more than the manual lol
On Amazon I’ve seen as low as 1,000 plus 200 shipping! There are more expensive ones with different options as well prices are kind of all over the place
