Any help is welcomed 😊I just got my motor and you say to put grease in the top oil and I'm not seeing anywhere to put it. My instructions only tell me to mix 35 to 1 oil to gas
Just bought a prop for this randomly on Amazon for ~$5 for an unrelated project. Found this video to see how it’s attached. Nice project, thanks for posting!
I found this because I was pretty sure when I took mine for its maiden voyage, the gears shouldn't have been literally screaming for oil 😅 great video thanks
Waaaayyyy too much gear oil if you see it leaking then you blew out the seal. You’re supposed to fill it right below that line because when liquid gets hot and expands.
From other videos it seems one removes the prop, the cover, and seal then fill the case to just under the ridge for the seal. Good god this video is a waste of time. More info about filling the plastic measuring bottle than anything else. Speaks to the level of knowledge.
I just got a free Hangkai 3.5 hp 2 stroke. I bought a spare prop for $14.. I got to get a pin, the little plastic cup that was in my old prop around the pin, and napa has an exact match stainless cotter pin. The face book hangkai group said use 30:1 for break in, then start using 50:1 after break in. The little 3.5 has a huge following. Not sure about the other Hangkai engines.
I know this video was released three years ago, but why did you remove the plate from the driveshaft ? I was told that you remove the uppermost screw and fill through the hole until oils flows back out, it is a level hole.
4:23 HAND IN FRONT OF THE CARTRIDGE!!!! You can see it right there! RULE NUMBER ONE!!! TREAT THE TASER LIKE IT IS A FIREARM!!! Don't point the device at anybody, or anything you don't intend to shoot. Don't put body parts in front of the device Unloaded or Loaded. These things are SERIOUS DEVICES!!! They seem to not know what they're doing!
I have this motor. Took it out and it seemed so boggy. I sure didn't break it in for 10 hours though. 30m in the recycle bin, then half throttle on the lake. I see some of you replaced the spark plug. Maybe I should give it another try.
Hi thanks for extra instructions.. can you tell me can one but a new brass bushing and sheer pins . What parts can one get. Possibly need a new o ring seal as well.
I know my way around egines. Bought it and after 70 min my gaskets popped. It's a lot of money for 250$. I will not repair this piece of crap with no power at all... Do not buy this outboard!!!
I bought one used with approx 10 -15 hours yesterday and took it on water today and it didnt start after 40 min of running fine. Should I waterboard it for 10 hours now to break it in? Or would be a waste of time. Any suggestions?
Awesome video! Isn't it possible to do this directly from the boat on the first start? 10 hours straight, 1/4 or 1/3 throttle. Where i live, it's absolutely impossible for me to do it like that in a tub..
When breaking in do I need to just keep it running idle or should I be using throttle also? Plan on doing it in my garden in a bin full of water but wasn't sure if I could just leave it running idle or not :)
I just got a 3.5 hp and am breaking it in, running it in a trash can w/ water up to the right level. Mixed gas & oil as in your video. There's quite a bit of smoke or burned oil - is that a problem, and what can I do about it? The motor, water, and trash can aren't perfectly level and perpendicular - is that a problem?
