I have this small motor, my 14' fiberglass boat reaches 4 knots with 4 persons on board without problems. The maintenance is very simple and the fuel consumption is around 3/4 lt/ hour

👍

[@02bigkev]

Seems like a great little motor, Nice perch too 🐟🐟

[@GurrasGarage]

Not bad for a cheap china motor! Perch is good to eat 😃

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Nice little perch 😁. Top speed of 5 isn’t too bad for a little motor. Be safe my friend 👍

[@GurrasGarage]

Since its only 2,5 hp (they are exaggerating the hp) its pretty good 😃 Same to you buddy!

My dad bought one of these little guys as a backup, our honda 9.9 and 15 have never had issues so this has been in the box, seems like a decent little motor for a paddle boat or small boat. Hondas will easily push 10 mph even with a 4-5hp engine. These Chinese motors seem to not have water cooling which is a big downside, an impeller or vac driven pump would be a very simple add on to help the motor run cooler. Appears to be air cooled only.

[@GurrasGarage]

The smaller Hangkai motors 4hp (actually more like 2hp) are air-cooled, 6hp and up are water-cooled and come as both 2 stroke and 4 stroke motors. One benefit with air cooled motors are less things that can go wrong.

[@Wingnut353]

@@GurrasGarage Yeah its a GXV50 clone (like you said in your other video).... 2hp. Same thing as in a sportsman weedeater and any number of other small 2hp yard tools.

[@billyandriam]

thank you very much for this video. Please could you share with us if it holds well under the sun?

[@GurrasGarage]

No problem at all

[@frs7104]

Can it go slow enough for trolling? Do you think it would be bossible to put a hose on the exhaust and lead it underwater to make the engin a little quieter?

[@GurrasGarage]

Please watch the playlist on this motor, I cant answer the same question all the time

[@djb1634]

Have you given thought to motor swapping? Reusing the lower unit but using a larger horizontal shaft motor?

[@GurrasGarage]

No

[@punkrocklove2dkyahoo]

Where did you buy your bimini top ? How wide was it ?

Good day!!! You got a new follower!!! Great contact. Question on this Motor. Do you have a link for it? I tried searching this one in Amazon without any luck. TY

[@GurrasGarage]

Cheers! It's been over 3 years, so no link that works now. Search for chinese 4hp 4-stroke outboard motor.

[@brujodat]

@@GurrasGarage Much appreciated.

[@brujodat]

Recently gifted myself this motor for my Sun Dolphin American 12 plastic Jon boat. Completed break in period (10 Hours) and replaced top and lower oils. Motor starts in first or second pull. The issue I encounter is that when I try to go full throttle, it kinds of stalls a little, like it revs down instead of up. This happenes when twisting throttle above 3/4 to full. Any recommendations??? TY

[@GurrasGarage]

Could be lots of things, Chinese sparkplugs are not the best, I switched to NGK sparkplug that helped my motor to run more smoothly. I have a video on this its in the playlist somewere

[@brujodat]

@@GurrasGarage I did indeed installed the NGK spark plug. Not sure if I want to attempt to adjust the carburetor screw. Running out of ideas.

[@harishnaik942b8]

You should know it is common courtesy to write "Do you have" before you write "facebook, whatsapp, instagram" like how are you supposed to greet that? Why expect any help if you can't even do basic communication?
