I bought a Torqeedo Travel motor at the end of July 2023. I will never buy Torqeedo again. From the first uses I had an error code 30 (problem sending/receiving data between the battery and the engine) preventing the engine from starting... This problem is well known to Torqeedo. I followed the recommendations of Torqeedo support and tutorials (plugging and unplugging the cable several times so that the error disappears) all last season… It was stressful never being sure the engine was going to run... but it always started again after a few tries. This season I have the error code E30 again, but impossible to resolve the problem... I plug and unplug it dozens of times, I apply WD40 as recommended by Torqeedo but the blocking code does not disappear. I then contact Torqeedo support who directs me to an authorized reseller for maintenance. After receiving the motor, the latter tells me that Torqeedo does not apply the warranty on the pretext that a pin is broken on the cable (from plugging and unplugging 100 times, no doubt!!!). He tells me that I have to dismantle the entire engine, check the tightness, etc., all for the modest sum of 1000 euros, and without commitment of deadlines, the latter having no visibility on the availability of parts!!! (engine value 2349 euros). I follow up with Torqeedo support who doesn't want to hear anything. Yesterday the dealer contacted me to tell me that he is stopping business with Torqeedo, that I must pay shipping costs to recover my engine which is still out of service. And Torqeedo is still absent. So a piece of advice: avoid this brand, don’t buy Torqeedo!!!! Zero quality, zero service, no respect for “promises”, no consideration for the customer. There are a whole bunch of other brands and engines that are much more quality. Ps: I have a hybrid boat and I have always praised electric technologies...

Hi. Are the carburettors for 2.3 and 2.0 identical apart from the main jet size? I ask as the price for the 2.3 is double so I’m considering modifying the jet if my old one won’t come out in good condition. Thanks

I'm having 1 of these but no 1 says about how you put fuel in enny 1 now please

I had a Honda 8 Four Stroke that was beautifully quiet.... but it was becoming too much of a chore as it's so heavy, plus it requires a can of fuel. So I looked around for a small outboard, preferably the kind where you don't have to mix the gas. (My Dad had a small Mercury that required that). Instead I chose a Suzuki 4-Stroke 2.5 hp. Here's one in action... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqewp6mcjbqZnM0

In the market for one and would have bought the Honda, until I tried a Suzuki 2.5hp. Same weight, yet liquid cooled. Waaaay quieter than the Honda, more powerful, tighter tolerances, longer range, every bit as reliable and $999.00CA instead of $1,339.00, makes the decision a no-brainer.

Camera on tripod would be nice

A heat gun works just fine for removing the EPA cap. Took about 15 seconds on high, then a little more heat to soften the gunk clogging the screw head. The cap was not glowing. Is the heat gun safer around gasoline? Probably not.

Wish I could get the idle adjusted properly so it doesn't start in gear , This review doesn't mention how...

it's good to see that hank schareder is doing good

Wow buddy you have a annoying voice not to mention you should lose some weight your huffing and puffing just trying to talk I was a fat turd till I nearly died loose the weight or your going to end up in a pine box good luck

Just bought one. Well detailed one Day I'll need this information but why the heat torch ??can't be undone without this method

I've got one of these I've been running it for 2 years and it is a Charmed motor. Works perfect as long as there's gas and oil in it. When you tilt it up always keep the throttle handle on top of the motor and shut off the gas at the cap and the switch in the back. It starts every day five times a day and goes a half mile 365 days a year. I've never changed the spark plug and only change the oil once or twice. Now I feel guilty I'm going to have to give it some oil . It's a Wonderful motor I highly recommend it they cost about $600 but they are noisier than most

Great video. I'd already had my carb apart with little improvement - only thing I don't get is: how come your emulsion tube just fell out after you removed the jet? Mine seems pretty fixed (if it wasn't fixed the jet wouldn't unscrew would it?) and I've no idea how to dislodge it.

I've owned one for 6 months. It's has had several carb cleans but still is never reliable. I thoroughly recommend that viewers look at a different make.

rather than flame off the EPA cap I used a Dremel with a cutting blade and heated it up enough to pry off. My intention was just to cut off locking part but I ended up prying it off after heat build up from cutting as the EPA cap was spinning without turning the jet. thank you!

Just put a fuel filter between the gas tank and carburetor and you will never have to clean the carb again, thanks Mark

Thanks for this. Super helpful video that tells me everything I need to know 👌

Not a fan of the engine. Carb jets too small; clogs too easy. Had my 2016 apart about 7 times.

Hi, I don't see the water mark on the shaft. how deep is too deep for the shaft?

You should edit this and upload another separate video showing just the part where you remove the anti-tamper cap on the idle jet. It would be easier to find here on KZbin as an excellent reference for those who have never done it or don't know how it is done. This is a great video overall but the cap removal part is something unique and special that I don't think exists anywhere else on this site.

Just bought one for 250 cash thanks

where did you get that cart ?

Gracias ya pude aser lo gracias por esplicarlo muy bien

Hi there, I just bought a 2021 used Yamaha 2.5 very little hours. Started it for first time today in a closed loop circuit (my bucket). Was very eager to run it and the only water I could get was from a hot water hose as the cold water supply was closed for the winter. I went through different rpms and ran it max rpms in neutral for probably 2-3 mins, water in bucket was very hot. Engine shut off and made a quick cranking sound. Couldn't get it to start again. Checked compression by putting my finger by the spark plug hole and didn't feel any compression. Put an inline spark plug tester and the tester blinks when I pull the coil. Could the hot water have damaged the outboard? Any next steps to diagnose what needs fixing? Thanks!

Just bought a nearly new 2.3 the owner was frustrated with. I'm sure it's a carb issue as it has spark and compression. Once the arctic temperatures subside tomorrow, I'll get it out of the back of the car and give it a whirl. Thanks this is hugely helpful

Awesome video. Thank you for posting this.

Cheers ears this was helpful.

What's the best way to drain the fuel tank? If I turned the motor upside down to drain the fuel, would oil spill all over the place?

I know Honda doesn't recommend it but since it's air cooled can it be tested out of water? I've seen a lot of videos reviewing it that do and if I got an outboard and it broke I'd like to be able to test it while working on it instead of going in the water every time.

Dosta je dobro,samo što kamera nije uvijek dobro postavljena,tako da se ne vide neke vrlo važne stvari!

Buenas noches amigo,cómo puedo conseguir piezas para motor Evinrude 2.3

Helpful, but hit a snag with removing the EPA cap. I thought I had heated it up enough, but when I pulled it off, it took the head of the jet screw with it. Perhaps I didn't heat it enough or perhaps I didn't give a straight enough pull? Either way, It is going to be very difficult to remove the stub of the screw, as access is very limited. I notice you did say there was a risk this might happen, but I would like to emphasis the point! Ralph.

beautiful!! just followed your steps to clean the carb. my enginee was only running on chocked. And i found the injector has a bit cog, give everything a clean up, now works like charm!! One thing need pay attention the throttle adjustment, it maybe not back to orginal postion, then you need adjust it a bit, it's very sensitive.

I just bought a Honda 2.3, but was disappointed after some use, it is hard to start. Sometimes in the middle of big lake, give me hard time. I am trying figure out what is the problem. It is much easier to start my lawnmower engine which was not Honda.

So I can't pull the engine up on my kayak because the throttle handle has to be forward... that's a deal breaker.... damn

Great walkthrough. Thank you.

Do the motors come with oil in the motor and the lower end gear case when u first buy them?

Man it's hard to hear him talk. Gotta be from Cali, like totally man.

Great video that I found very usefull especially with alignment issue. One question- you did not mention the two paper gaskets that sit between the carb and the plastic housings. How does one keep them in line when putting everything together?

A lot are complaining about how the cables go in. Tip for WD40 is worth remembering.

I finally broke down and got out my plumbing torch to heat up the EPA cap. You said to let it get red hot and start to melt. Well mine just melted like solder and fell off, exposing the screw nicely. No way the cap could ever be used again. Good thing it's just a nuisance anyway. Cleaning out that area finally did the trick after four carb removals without. Thanks a bunch.

I missed seeing you put the screw that you had to heat up to remove... sorry but I’m confused about that step... would appreciate a reply if you have a chance ... Thanks, ... John.... Ontario, Canada...

I'm interested in one of these because I've heard it doesn't require Mixed Gas. Is this true?

The sharp bend in the big cable from the leg to the battery will cause the hair thin control wires to break inside the cable, causing an E-30 that will not go away, bricking your motor. Good engineering principles is no cable bends tighter than a radius of 12X the cable diameter. This is either incompetence or deliberate. The battery is $999.00 and deliberately made with part of the motor circuit in there so you can not use a $200 ebike battery instead. Its a terrible, owner-hostile design made more complex and less reliable in the interest of making sure owners cannot repair anything. They even epoxy the cells into the battery box so you can not change out the cells.

That was the best walk through, on all of You Tube. The man knows his stuff.

it,s very nice

People asking about EPA cap. It's only there to stop you from getting to air screw. Once you've bypassed that, no need to put it back unless you really want too...

I'm wondering why the engine can't come already broken in?

He needs to take "um" out of his vocabulary ...

What's the diff between 2.0 and 2.3? Bore, stroke or bigger carb. Can you convert a 2.0 to a 2.3??
