Do you still have it? And if so, hows it ran after 4 years?

How’s it holding up?

explained it perfectly, part is on the way and i’m stoked to finally have an easier throttle. edit: i’ve had it on for about a week and a half, it’s felt much better and i’m stoked to not have to deal with that shitty stock coleman spring anymore

Very cool. Nice to get the centerboard fixed.

In Beavis voice “ played around with his unit 😂

Such a beautiful spot.

How many weight for macine.

Yeah those pallets will rot sitting on the ground. Next time place pallets on well placed cinder blocks for a more permanent setup.

What happened to the Hangkai logo?

I wonder if you noticed the transom clamp is not manufactured at 90 degrees. I do not understand this. Any ideas? What happened to the Hangkai logos on the engine cover?

We have a Mesa XL on our RV for smoke "less" fires and some ambience at happy hour. We use hardwood pellets, which burn a bit cleaner and hotter than the much cheaper softwood pellets. Alcohol hand sanitizer gel makes a great pellet starter. I was contemplating adding the heat diffuser, but from your video I see it greatly expands the storage space requirements, which would be a no-go for our little RV. Presumably you could disassemble the diffuser, but that could be annoying and messy if it's coated with soot.

Beautiful video. I really liked the camera angles of the landscape and fog as well as the sailboarder. Great job

Hey Mike,j ust got my Mesa XL with the heat deflector. I seem to have a decent amount of smoke with the deflector on it. None with it off. Did you have to burn yours in several times before it stopped smoking or did yours not smoke from the start?

I think this convinced me. Do you think with the heat deflector you could sit multiple people around it in the spring time? I'm thinking of places that a big firepit would probably be told no, but something like this could probably be alright.

Where did you get the crosspieces shown at the very end?

Thanks for the info. Wouldn't stop me from buying it.

Cool

Are these engines worth it or do they start having problems?

Keep going!

Great video

Where did you get the stand?

My manual (4 stroke 8) said it does need to be in gear for breakin period does the 2 stroke not?

First to see you crash

Where did u get the springs

Is that a short shaft im gona by one off Amazon but theres no option for short shaft or long shaft

I just received mine today I plan on breaking it in tomorrow, I bought Lucas marine grease and a grease gun and filled the grease plugs full of grease and popped off the propeller and greased the shaft all I have to do now is add the gear oil and run it..

Very nice video. I enjoyed watching you and your family. Having fun with number five.

Thanks for the video.

Is the total break in period 2hrs ?

These are actually very good engines!! Just keep them clean and serviced and they will last a long time!!!

Where can you get parts for the Hangkai 12hp?

Can you tell me what fuel plug did you use for the external tank. I can't seem to find one that fits correctly to the motor. I've tried so many and they don't snap in place properly. Would love your feedback. I have the 6hp 2 stroke

The first 10 hours 25:1 fuel oil mixture? A lot of hours with a lot of smoke.

Any update on this motor? How's she running?

How about your new Hangkai 12?

How has your motor treated you? I'm thinking of getting one when they're back in stock

How she running?

Where you buy yours at?

I have a 6hp one. Did you do the rest of the break-in in the lake? I tried to follow the instruction of breaking in slowly at home, however, when 50% throttle was applied, all the water gushed out of the trash can. I ended up doing an hour of 25% throttle, then took it out to the lake to do the rest. But, it's brutal to run 50% throttle for 2 hours followed up by 80% throttle for 3 hours! I want to fish not running around the lake in the loud engine. Am I breaking-in my hearing or the motor???

What's the weight?

I am very satisfy with my hangkai12hp and did some upgrades to her. I have some videos in my channel.

Hahaha I love the fact you removed Hangkai 2 stroke decals from the cowling :)

I have no problems with ethanol, so I think that you can use it to

Great video

Excellent info- just curious when I remove the stock spring will I have to make sure that I don’t loosen the throttle cable when I turn that screw to get it off? Does that make sense? I’m new to engines.

Dude! Loving that spring seat. How’s you manage that???

Honda 16592-ZE1-810 SPRING, CABLE RETURN That is the part number for that small return spring. Snagged it off eBay for around $5

Nice video what size of screw did u use to attach the toe buttom frame and how did u secure d spring?ty

You forgot the part number my friend, but with me it is the exact opposite. I upgraded my 4.0 engine on my Manco Thunderbird to a 212cc predator and I have the 60 tooth sprocket and just finished the stage one performance upgrade today, BUT my throttle will not return all the way. Why? They took out the return spring that you just pointed to so it won't return all the way. Result: I have two broken ribs as the throttle stuck and this is un-Godly power. It shot me off the back and beings the only brake I have is a foot brake I was in trouble. It was my 1st test and after starting it seemed ok, but once I opened it up it was like a fire breathing dragon. I am 71 and have 4 other mini's. This one is going up for sale or trade. The extra pull on the throttle is well worth it as this is a big safety issue. Especially on the older Manco's with a scrub brake. Whomever buys it I do have another brand new scrub pad that can be bolted on or welded and it will give double stopping power to the rear wheel, but with this kind of power you need hand controlled brakes. My email if anyone is interested: SnuffyLL96@gmail.com. I will also post it on Offerup.com and Letgo.com and San Antonio Craigs list.

Where can I get that wooden base
