Hydrolocked Outboard Motor
Symptoms and repair of a hydrolocked outboard boat motor. In this case we working on a Yamaha F4 4 hp 4-stroke outboard motor that wouldn't pull start after sitting in storage for years. It's an easy fix, but is a good reason to check your boat motor if it's been stored laying down.
As I mention in the video, hydrolocking can also occur due to ingestion of water or (way too much) fuel. It can be catastrophic if this happens when an engine is running, especially if it's a more powerful motor, when it can break pistons/rings and bend connecting rods.
I hope this video was helpful, and thanks for watching!

Honda Mower Drive Belt Mechanism and Axle Removal
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
In this video I remove the rear axle and drive mechanism for a Honda HRN 216 Lawnmower with the GCV 170 engine. In my case, the drive belt got jammed in the belt guide, but this would be the same procedure for changing out a worn drive belt. In addition, it give a nice look at how the self propelled drive function on these mowers work. As an aside, I have really liked this mower a lot. It does ...

1955 Mercury Mark 25 Outboard Tear-down

In this video I'm tearing down a beautiful 1955 Mercury Mark 25 Outboard that I have hopes to get running again at some point. Fair warning that I don't yet have the service manual for this motor, and I definitely have a lot to learn before I start getting it back together. In editing this video, I realize that I'm complaining more than usual about all of the tough bolts, tight clearances, and ...
DIY Differential Bearing Replacement 2015 Ford F 150
Переглядів 27 тис.2 роки тому
Here I'm replacing the bearings and races in the rear differential of a 2015 Ford F-150 with the electronically locking differential. At the time of replacement, I believe the truck was at about 83,000 miles, and is my daily driver, and used often to tow a fiberglass boat and trailer without breaks. I'm not sure if the loading of towing at speed for long distances plus the aggressive engine bre...

Replacing the cabin air filter in a 2015 Ford F-150 in the XL trim. With higher trim levels there may be more stuff on the dash to remove, but in general, the idea is the same.

The only tricky bit is pulling the trim off and snapping it back on. ...
Driver's Side Mirror Replacement 2015 Ford F 150

Replacing the driver's side mirror on a 2015 Ford F-150. I've replaced a number of site mirrors in the past, and this is by far one of the easiest. The only hang up with the aftermarket mirror I purchased was that it did not have the foam vapor barrier or mounting studs which both needed to be transferred over from the old mirror. I'm assuming if you buy an OEM or more expensive replacement, it...

Just wanted to share a little frustration I recently encountered. My landlord had me take a look at his ATV that was backfiring.

I did end up chasing the threads in the head and cleaning them up, but thought I'd post since I'm sure som...

It actually wasn't terrible to get back together, but if you're doing it, it's good to have a reference for torque values, and I did refer back to my disassembly video several times to make sure I was putting things back together the correct way.

    Man I'm so glad I found your video somehow. I have a newer 40hp mercury (I thought it was a 95), and when I enter the serial number online it gave me all the wrong part numbers. Yours looks exactly like mine. Nice to see an example of how one is setup. My impeller had a little chip out of one of the vanes, hoping it doesn't cause me any issues wherever it went.

    The only improvement I could offer is to state where you bought your inline valve and how much it cost. Other than that it's one of the best do it yourself videos I have seen. My particular Kymco people 50 has the exact same issue. Curiously if I take the spark plug out and roll the engine over with the spark plug out then reassemble it starts instantly. I strongly suspect that this is the issue Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It is appreciated.

I mean Hipa gets the good quality aftermarket parts and you have the knowledge of small engine repair and maybe we can work together to help more DIYers.
