I was wondering if you knew where to buy a new water pump impeller for this engine? I was wanting to have one as a backup Incase the original goes bad. Please and thank you for any information.
Good question. So far, I have not had to replace the impeller. When and if it goes bad, the stream usually slows rather than suddenly stops. This should give you some time. I suspect, that like a lot of other small outboards, one of the more common other brands will fit. For example, my replacement prop is a Yamaha fit. That said, the vendor has responded to my questions pretty quick and may have a good answer.
Yup. I was confused at first. I really wish they had invested a little more time into tweaking it. I think if they changed the throttle handle, it would make the motor much more appealing.
That's the problem , my manuel don't say squat about break in at all anywhere inside the box it came in NOTHING NOWHERE ! And I have to say that is piss poor form Aiqidi . Had I not found videos on youtube while I was waiting , my motor would be TRASH ARE YOU LISTING AIQIDI !!! TRASH !!! Yes I'm a little perturbed about that , , , here me Aiqidi ? How many people have trash instead of a boat motor , that is not froze up in the trash can cursing Aiqidi . AIQIDI GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER !!!! Thank you Sr. for saving me a ton of grief and hatred toward another half ass Chinese company . God bless America and people who know how to put together a owners manual .
Glad you found the videos online. I find it odd that there was no booklet. Maybe your box was repackaged, or somehow opened. Mine was well packaged and even came with an extra shear pin. You should contact the vendor about it. They have been very responsive.
@@FishIt-up2li No I'm saying in the owner's manual it didn't have any info about breaking the motor in There was a manual that only said 50:1 nothing about breaking in on 25:1 for 10 hours anywhere in the manual on the motor in the box on a card NOTHING ANYWHERE about break in . I found out by searching RU-vid and a good thing I did or my motor would be trash . Aiqidi needs to put the break in info somewhere in the manual on a card tied to the gas cap on a stiker by the gas cap SOMEWHERE to let people know this is a must prosiger for the motor .
You are correct. There are no instructions for break-in in the manual (I just looked). I must have downloaded it from their site (and no, I don't sell anything online). For others who are reading this... The Break-In is "roughly" as follows - But please check their site first... **(using 25:1 gas to oil ratio during break-in): 1-10 min at idle 10 min - 3 hours at less than half throttle 3-5 hours at a range of speeds less than 3/4 throttle ( i.e. between idle and 3/4) 5-10 hours use a range of speeds. However, you can only use full throttle for 5 minutes at a time, with a 10 - 15 minute break in between. Once break in is completed, you can change to a 50:1 gas oil ratio
@@FishIt-up2li Thanks for the break in instructions . I haven't even pulled the starting cord yet . Almost everything with moving parts should go through a break in . It looks and seems to be a pretty nice boatmoter for what it cost . I have a 1.2hp I bought from Sears back in the 80s and it still runs like a champ but nothing last forever . I have 2 Mercury's 2.5hp and 3.5 they are junk I don't have more than 10 hours on either of then carbs are trash right out of the box . I think they would be good little motors if they had good carbs on them . Thanks for the info have a blessed day .
