WOw !! thanks you very much i planning to buy this outboard motor and i will do like you did it ! i saw the oil that came with the engine i was shocked ! helped me very much !!!
Great video thank you. You suggest changing gear oil every 'trip' whereas most outboards recommend changing the oil each season. Do you mean that if you go out 5 times in a week you actually change the gear oil 5 times?
I did that as the Hangkai is a small outboard which require little gear oil, on top of that I don't use expensive marine grade gear oil. The cheap gear oil definitely won't last long and that's why I recommended a replacement after each trip. The procedure is very simple as well for this Hangkai.
How should i clean my engine after every salt water trip? Just rinse it under tap water or i have to flush it in a bucket of fresh water every time i use?
Hi. Thanks for sharing this excellent video. I have the same motor which was working fine till yesterday. I noticed that the shaft became very hot and I switched it off immediately. It was a long row back to shore but I didn't want to try starting the motor in case i cooked it. I can turn the motor ok with the starter cord so I know it's not siezed. Do you have any thoughts where I start first please?
It could be the water cooling system got jammed. Try dimmable the lower unit then dismantle the shaft housing and the water impeller housing, there might be some sand or dirt trapped inside, check the water hose as well, make sure it is smooth flowing.
+Fishing Adventures of NorthernHardcoreFisherman | FishingAdvNHF I will try that and post my findings. do you have a link to the workshop manual by any chance?
i did the gear lube change and when i installed the prop the gears do not engage . if i pull on the prop shaft the gears engage but when i install the prop it pushes the shaft in and the gears separate. how can i remedy this problem
Excellent, I just bought Marine Intex along with Hangkai 3.5 HP engine.. The engine is new, but last night gave some trouble while I want to start it... After couple of hands... Started working, then again gave same issue and after couple of time started working.. I thought may be due to the file mixing with the oil cause this issues... The manual doesn't have any indication what's oil level must be mixed... Any idea? Also, there is a side switch Down is ON and Up is OFF, what is the used of this button..? Thanks,
TheHabibalby Wow! I think I missed this comment, it's been a month and I am so sorry about that and hopefully my reply can help you a little. Do you refer to the gas/petrol mixture? For a new engine the mixture is 1 portion of 2T to 30 protion of gas/petrol. The side switch is the Air Vent for the carburetor, turn it off on the initial start up, turn it back on when you are ready to move.
+Fishing Adventures of NorthernHardcoreFisherman thanks for your reply.. I do have additional questions with regards to the Gear movement.. all of the sudden the propeller stopped moving when I accelerate... any comments or tips to check why this is happening..? I do have open the the Gear and changed the oil I also removed the entire shaft cleaned it with WD40 and started moving but still when I accelerate it doesn't move at all... any help please? thanks
+TheHabibalby Try to manually spin your propeller, if you can't spin it or needed a lot of strength, changes are the drive shaft jammed. My Hangkai was down during my last trip and sent it to a workshop for repair, the foreman couldn't figure out what causes the jam. I brought it back home decided to strip it to the bare bone and I found out that the drive shaft was jammed at the Water Impeller Housing. The silicon bushing needed to be cleaned, you need to remove the lower unit and remove the worm gears. You might need to polish the drive shaft as well. The drive shaft should be able to spin easily after it was cleaned or polished. I will make another video on the repairing of that jammed drive shaft soon.
Hey, i just bought one and it starts fine but the propeller wont move. The small shaft in there wont move, is that supoosed to do that or does it need wd 40 to lossen up since its brand new maybe paint or whatever making it stick?
Did you ever figure out that problem of the prop not moving? I just bought this motor and it’s doing the same thing. It will run but the prop does not engage. It seems difficult to rotate by hand when the motor is off.
@@sailingto ..well my poblem was i didnt give it enough throttle. Once i did it worked. I think u need to turn throttle least half way to 3/4 way for it to start engaging. Id turn it barely o bout quarter way thinking itd start moving right away and it didnt. Also set it on a chair and set prop in a tote of water then try starting it to test it, unless u have it on boat and in water already.
Robert S I did it before the first ride, it should be done after every trip out but I didn't. The cleaning or flushing is also very important, my Hangkai was down due to pro-long servicing
Just my thought, you maybe better off using a silicone 3-in-1 lubricant to clean the gear oil box as the WD-40 (clone) residue can still sip off through the gasket that might affect its effectiveness rendering water to mix with the oil (resulting to a foamy milky white mixture) that could affect the gear efficiency .
Robert S That should be the correct way, however I do not have that item and that's why I use wd40. Anyway, it's advisable to replace gear oil after every use, it wouldn't cost much.
I just purchased this engine. My engine keeps turning off as soon as i lower the throttle what's wrong? Any idea I'm use same oil recommended for this motor ( oil mixture with fuel) I'm using 95 octane gasoline
I have this same motor.. taken it out a few times, and have tried to tinker with it, as I find it stalls after a few minutes on throttle. The engine gets super hot so I think that is why it's stalling. After a few minutes of cooling down, it starts up again and runs for another few minutes. I have taken it apart and did not see anything blocking the water line that is supposed to keep it cool.. Took it out on the water again this weekend, and same issues. Advice??
When u start the engine on the sea, did u see any water flowing out fr the drainage hole? it might be the impeller (the star shape rubber) inside the housing that's install incorrectly or faulty. u need to remove the whole lower unit housing to inspect it
I have it in a garbage can, and have noticed that when I put it on throttle, it does not have a full out stream of water coming out the back hole... rather, air with spits of water here and there....
+Ryan Young Don't think we would be able to see a full stream of water flowing out just like the Yamaha but at least there's water coming out meaning everything is good. Next maybe u might want check on the drive shaft to see if there is any corrosion and lastly make sure ur gas mixture is correct as the engine required 30:1 ratio, lower ratio might cause overheating as well
Ok, so upon looking closer, I don't see water coming out. The motor gets very hot and cuts out after a couple minutes of running on throttle. I tried to get to the impeller but the bolts on the bottom were on too tight to take off...
+Fishing Adventures of NorthernHardcoreFisherman | FishingAdvNHF ive seen one other video with a guy getting it but no one knows what it is lol I almost shot it.. I was so mad stuck 10 miles in the swamp
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. Firstly I would like to apologize for the delay on uploading new video, it's has been a busy month and I was held up with some personal issues, (P.S. I couldn't afford doing this full time, at least not yet.) hope you can understand, thanks. The motor is quite reliable as my engine still in working condition. The only thing you need to take note is you have to do a thorough cleaning and flushing after salt water usage, I didn't and I regretted as many parts of my motor are having corrosion. Currently it is down even after some self repair on the water impeller unit as well as polishing the drive shaft. I suspect it's the Auto Clutch that's giving way. Will update here once I get it fixed. Cheers! NorthernHardcoreFisherman
+Fishing Adventures of NorthernHardcoreFisherman | FishingAdvNHF check out the lawnmower motor outboard they show you how to replace the motor with a brigs
Before I bought the Hangkai I went to search for the lawnmower and thinking of making one. I ended up choosing the Hangkai which was a mistake. I might modified the spoiled Hangkai and turn it into pedal power.
Not necessary to change the gear oil after every trip, but it will definitely prolong and improve the performance if you did that, anyway it doesn't require much gear oil.
Robert S The motor should be placed vertically when it is kept in store. This is to prevent gear oil leakage. The carburetor might have some fuel remained inside, it will also sipped out if the motor is placed horizontally.
NoaM GamimGs Sorry for the late reply, I just saw your messages. Thanks for the comments and I am glad that it helped you. I bought the Gear Box Oil from the Petrol Kiosks, it is not engine oil you should buy. It cost a bit more expensive over there and you can get it from the automobile spare parts shop at a cheaper price. The Red thing are you refer to the Grease? I got it from the Local hardware Store and I specifically ask for HEAVY DUTY Grease, some people use Marine grease which cost a bomb. I don't have the link and in fact you don't need the name of the brand (if you are refer to it) Just tell the shopkeeper what you need and why you need it for, this is how I did it. Feel free to ask me again if I didn't really answer your question, I will try to reply asap, thanks again.
Fishing Adventures of NorthernHardcoreFisherman thanks very much but i am from israel where can i buy the red thing i have autosol and oil i need the red thing ! :) and if i changed the oil once how much time delay to switch oil again ? thanks for answer ! your videos awsome keep it up !
If I am correct I think you are referring to the grease which I applied it on to the propeller shaft and the oil seal. You can but any kind of grease from any hardware store or you can buy the expensive marine grease. Maybe you can try to search in eBay or Aliexpress, these online store do sell those stuff. For the interval of oil replacement I would suggest you do it after 10 hours of usage, depending on the grade of the oil you are using. I am using the lower grade gear box oil hence I do a oil change every 10 hours of usage. You are most welcome to ask anything and I would answer all you questions, provided I have the knowledge. Again, thanks for the support.

Hi guys,
Anyone know or have ever replace/ check the Water pour impeller? Do you have any video regarding this? thanks !

+TheHabibalby I busted the sear pin which caused this
I damaged the o-ring that goes around the gear oil cover when Iwas trying to pry it up, does anyone know where to get a replacement?
What kind of oil would I ask for in a shop?
Hi, wondering how you have managed to remove the pin which holds the propeller? Any thought?
TheHabibalby I did manage to remove it using a pliers.
Been watching ur videos for a long time. Wondering if you can help me out. My propeller won’t spin? With engine on or off. Checked oil it’s good.
did you increase the throttle? prop only engages at high throttle
good sharing
What grade gear oil you recomen to use??
Hey, i just bought one and it starts fine but the propeller wont move. The small shaft in there wont move, is that supoosed to do that or does it need wd 40 to lossen up since its brand new maybe paint or whatever making it stick?

Did u do this oil servicing after several use (days.,moth or years) or perhaps immediately after unboxnig the box ?
Robert S I did it before the first ride, it should be done after every trip out but I didn't. The cleaning or flushing is also very important, my Hangkai was down due to pro-long servicing
Nonetheless, thanks for the heads up, this minute info is very helpful !

Robert S hey mi hermano can I use 75-90 gear oil??
i need the parts between the carburetor and the engine
and where did you bought that engine oil ?
Hi, what type of oil you used for this type of gear box? Is it normal marine gear oil?
TheHabibalby
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I was using some cheap motorcycle gear oil for this outboard.
I just purchased this engine. My engine keeps turning off as soon as i lower the throttle what's wrong? Any idea I'm use same oil recommended for this motor ( oil mixture with fuel) I'm using 95 octane gasoline
did you check the choke? carbureted engines have a choke

ya, those screws are super tight as they have apply loctite on them. You need to use more strength but be careful not to break them.
can you do a throttle cable setup?
It's quite straight forward like the bicycle break cable, I will see if I can make another vid
The new engine 3.5 Hangkai is coming w/ gear oil ?
Pat Echenique It did come with gear oil but I replaced it before I took it out to the sea
I can’t pull any more so what wrong?
im getting a chugging when I open it up on the river ever had this problem? at the start of the day ran fine 5hrs later it started
My motor stop moving after the 5th use. the engine is fine but the drive shaft was jammed. I did some repair but it still not moving.
I don hv the chugging prolem
So basically this motor is a pos
+Fishing Adventures of NorthernHardcoreFisherman | FishingAdvNHF ive seen one other video with a guy getting it but no one knows what it is lol I almost shot it.. I was so mad stuck 10 miles in the swamp
Ya, I think you are right. I was lucky to had it break down at launching.
Where does the black water impeller go? Is that whats not mmaking my propeller move?
greato80 It is installed inside the lower unit. It might be the corrosion inside that jam the shaft, just like my case
What do u mean lower unit? Corrosion where? So the black impeller doesnt go in the propeller hub or caseing?
How do i fix the jam..if thats the problem?
greato80 Dimantle the whole lower unit and loosen it
I figured it out..when i throttle at like near full power it starts moving. Thanks for your help though.
I plan on buying one of these motors how reliable are they

Thank you mine is only going to be used in freshwater and I normally clean my motor as soon as I am back home from a fishing trip
-PME Sporting Goods to hear that as I regretted of not having it properly clean after using it on the sea.
what type of gear oil do you buy
I use normal motorcycle gear oil
Why is your channel dead it was so cool to watch??
I'm going to be getting this motor for my zodiac

Just a piece of advise, you need to service it regularly, best is do it after every trip

Do you change the gear oil after every trip? I watched your other video on maintenance and will definitely do that after every trip.
Not necessary to change the gear oil after every trip, but it will definitely prolong and improve the performance if you did that, anyway it doesn't require much gear oil.
Can you store the motor on its side?
Ajw312 you mean fit the motor on the side of the boat?
No, perhaps he means taking it off the boat and storing it in your garage or home with the shaft and engine lying horizontally on the floor.
Robert S The motor should be placed vertically when it is kept in store. This is to prevent gear oil leakage. The carburetor might have some fuel remained inside, it will also sipped out if the motor is placed horizontally.
How about when in transport? I have a small Jeep Cherokee. There is no room for it to be transported vertically. What do I do, boss?
