    That's loud. Is that from it being a single cylinder?

      I think because it doesn't have much of a muffler. I have a single cylinder Yamaha generator that is whisper quiet and the carb does not clog even with ethanol gas left in. This outboard is about as loud as a push mower at full throttle. The biggest problem with it is the carb has such tiny holes that if gas with ethanol isn't drained diligently from the carb it gets clogged and it won't run good unless the choke is partially on.

    thanks for the video, this sounds very loud to me. considering this or the Suzuki 2.5

      It is a bit noisy at high throttle but I never considered it to be that bad. I don't know how the noise level compares to that of the Suzuki. Suzuki makes quality motors too.

    It's hard the beat the power of gas vs electric.

    • @DAS-Videos
      @DAS-Videos  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea it is. And I think the weight of the electric motor plus marine battery is heavier than the gas motor.
