    I have one of those motors, and I have been using it for years on my pontoon boat. I plumbed in a secondary gas tank on mine and it draws the gas in as I go so there is never a need to stop and fuel. That was the biggest pain ever since the tank on the motor is tiny. I have a video about it on my channel, however, it is in Russian. If you would like I can make a video about how I made up a secondary jerry can gas tank. There is no electricity involved it just works on suction, and it works awesome!!

  • @fellovercliff4525
    @fellovercliff4525 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I put this exact same motor on my kayak mounted between the outrigger and the kayak.
    I cut shortened and welded the shaft around 7'' shorter as it was way to long for what I needed. I also put a custom made exhaust extension that points the exhaust out and away from your ears, as you mentioned it is damn noisy.
    Half of the trouble with this little motor is, the plastic propeller flexes, you can upgrade the propeller to a cast aluminium one for under $30.00 and you will get a little more speed, around 15 kls ph top speed. The motor is very reliable but sucks a lot of juice, on a calm day out in the kayak I will only get around two kilometers out of a tank.
    This little motor is great for a kayak as it's light, a proper 2 to 4hp outboard motor is way to heavy for my kayak and this no brand is 5 times cheaper.

      Just as a curiosity. A few hours ago I took the dust and spider webs from my preferred toy. A 50cc moped that haven't been started since last year (Summer).
      Thankfully for me I follow my own advise. I simply open the fuel petcock shake it a bit to start the fuel flow. After a couple of kicks there she was back to all it's 50cc 2 stroke glory.
      The ritual never failed in this past 3 years. BTW the mix has 2 stroke synthetic other than that it's the fuel from last year. ;-)

    I see a design flaw already the exhaust is pointing straight up in the Run position so if you're caught in the rain or you leave it outside in the rain your exhaust will fill with water into your piston you get the idea.

    how hard is it to replace the propeller and are they readily available, is there a sheer pin or dose it rely on the clutch as a safety,
    Victor lawn mower years back made two styles of outboard motors, using the good old reliable two stroke motor, they had a propeller unit, and they also had a pump jet unit, the propeller version would push a 14" bond wood boat a little faster than rowing, probably 5 knots at best. I would like to see a 10 hour review, not sure how a free running motor will last whilst under continual load, as it is when pushing through water. good video hope to see more.

    thanks for that . good review . I am looking for something to put on the back of a canoe I have cut the back off to make it a square back . seems a bit slow and noisey? . I am now looking at a 4HP very much like that one .

      Spend a little more and get a longtail kit. Pick your required HP and put a Honda or clone. Probably the best power per dollar and a real benifit is their shallow water and debris, mud etc ability. You can power boats with both ends pointed with a little fabrication and no need to install a transom.

    I have a eBay purchase 4 stroke, 1.5HP Petrol Power Outboard Engine and mounted on my kayak. Seller says 20km/h with 3 people... I must weight more than 5 people because my kayak was going at 8km/h on full throtle. I use watersnake 24lb with 50ah lithium battery now and it travells at 6km/h. much more peacefull.

    speed looks about what you'd figure for a $200 weed trimmer motor. I wonder how well a stihl Fs111 motor would do, as they are a 4 stroke power head. My Fs111 will chop through grass and brush that would have almost stopped my 2 stroke ryobi trimmer.

    I purchased this motor new, this is not a salt water motor to begin with, a week after having it the throttle cable broke, one of the mounting brackets broke and the exhaust came loose after four hours of use.

    It's closer to 5hp. It's a "Demon" weedwhacker engine, made in Poland. It can easily be replaced by a Honda 4- stroke motor, they' ll fit.

      How do you know it’s the demon engine. There’s 100s of these engines
