Do not beat on your prop with a hammer! Use an adjustable wrench open it till it slips on the shaft behind the prop and hit the wrench

Broke down on the lake… pulled the boat in 3 ft of water about a mile. Took it home. Watched this video after doing a annual service on the motor, started it up, nothing. Topped off the tank, and it started right up…. All it needed was a full tank. On the lake I was probably at a 1/3… lots of help!

@donduck6195 Жыл бұрын
Nice. I dig it. You and your videos were a HUGE help to me when I was considering getting a mud boat about 1.5 years ago. I ended up with a 1542 tracker and a twister XL with a stage 1 Honda gx390. I'm in Ohio so there aren't really any other mud boats around. When I was doing my inspection for my motor to get titled (anything over 10hp in Ohio) the officer said he'd never seen another one. Anyways- keep posting your tiny creek videos and boat jumps! They're great

Yall were almost taking on water when you came to a stop that motor must be really heavy
@MADSLife Жыл бұрын
It’s not that heavy, light enough for one person to carry. Probably a combination of being on the verge of planing and coming to an abrupt stop.

I have the 7hp Twister... I just put it on the water for the first time and it stalls out whenever I do anything other than Idle.... Any ideas?
@rogercook17373 жыл бұрын
You are only getting enough gas for it to idle. Pull the carb bowl off, the tube that screws into has a hole on the side close to the bottom for gas, make sure it is open. Next take a real fine wire and go from the bottom of the tube up through that and make sure the jet is not plugged. It needs to be real small diameter wire.
@iFishVT3 жыл бұрын
@@rogercook1737 That sounds viable I will look into it.. The engine runs at wide open throttle in the air (no load) which draws more fuel than idle but it doesn't stall in a no load full throttle circumstance... Does that change your diagnosis at all?
