Are you getting fuel to the carburetor, check fuel shut off, and does it have spark?

Spark plug was loose. Finally got it going. Actually seems to be a good machine!

Awesome

You are correct about both of those things.

Thanks for the info. That’s something I hadn’t heard before. Perhaps it’s time to check mine out and see if there is rust build up on it.

Thanks for the comment. I’ll see if I can help. I think I had the same issue. If it’s like mine there is a bolt on the top link of the brush hog. If you loosen it up a few turns it will allow the top link to float.

I definitely agree. If I were to build another one. I would do that as you said. I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching.

Thank you

Thanks for watching. They really are beautiful fish.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks. It was an awesome day. Doing it in a tournament made it that much better.

Thanks. I appreciate you watching.

Thanks. Kayak fishing is a lot of fun. I appreciate you watching. I’ll definitely check out your videos.

Thanks man

Definitely

Thanks. I’m definitely enjoying the new motor. It took a few trips to get used to it. My 2 favorite things are being able to stay on fish with pinpoint (spot lock) and hitting it while measuring fish. 2nd just going farther when needed on big lakes.

I thought you’d like that. Now I know you watch until the end. 😉

I’ve used it for a final clearing of an area where there used to be a lot underbrush of small bushes. I worked backwards using the back rake for the roots and it worked really well. I just set the angle where it would go about an inch underground and it popped the roots right out. Some of the roots would get stuck in there but typically would come right out when you drag forward. Thanks for the comment and watching.

@@randomlikes Thanks for the quick reply. I thought maybe those adjustable rippers would help with the smaller roots? And does the loose debris accumulate sort of like a typical landscape rake?

@dustindavid5094 yes you could use the ripper teeth to. I just found that you get a better bite with the back rake. If you lock down the middle blade then it works more like a box blade or rake were it will accumulate kind of like a typical landscape rake.

I’m glad the video helped. I’d love to hear what type(s) of kayaks you will be hauling.

One walmart childs kayak. 2 pelicans and a lifetime. I hope to one day get me a better fishing yak, but at this time, it's out of reach. I have alot of problems with balance that's why I'd lile to upgrade.

I’ve upgraded 3 times in 4 years. I upgraded to a 2016 Hobie PA12 in the beginning of 2023 so I could start doing tournament fishing if you’ve seen my newest videos. I think the biggest thing with the trailer was to make it modular so I could make changes with my kayak changes. I would consider also looking at uni strut. It’s very versatile and plenty strong for kayaks.

@randomlikes very good info thank you. And yes you have have a new sub to your channel.

@michaelhale4041 thank you. Always feel free to ask questions.

We are still using it and splitting wood regularly. Thanks for asking. No issues yet.

BTW been waiting for the video once I found your page. Looks like you had some decent luck that day. I had zero. Keep on fishing

Thanks. If you ever decide to do some tournament fishing from a kayak you will have to check out the Kansas Kayak Anglers Facebook page.

If it was a best three drum tournament. I would won 1st 🥇. 😂

@@randomlikes 100% 😂😂

I didn't even know there was drum in that lake.

Ifs there is drum in a lake. I’ll find them.

@@randomlikes I'm the same way, that's why I'm surprised I've never caught one there.

It was on sale when I bought it. It was about $400.

There are a lot of factors that go into to that other than just length. If it’s just a straight shot, not very wide, and in good condition. Than quite a long one. But I might charge the same for a short that was in really bad condition. I more so consider how long will this take me.

I’m sorry I don’t know the answer to that

@@randomlikesokay, thanks for replay

You can check out the website for further detail. www.kansaskayakanglers.com

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks. It worked out pretty well for me

Thanks for watching and making great attachments

1 is for the idle the other is for the choke. Usually we put the idle at 1/2 and then full choke

😆not yet

I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Always feel free to ask questions if you have any. I’ll do my best to answer them quickly. Thanks for commenting. I’ve got a few videos on the different implements I’ve had.

@@randomlikes New to your channel. I'll be sure to watch your other videos. Cheers

Thanks for the sub and comment. Everyone should check out your videos as well.

Thanks!

Definitely a crazy catch. I can’t believe I actually got it in.

Yes ours does that too. You just want to make sure the fluid is topped off to keep any air out of the lines. It hasn’t caused any issues with ours. Thanks for commenting I hope this helped.

I agree. That hinge is definitely a weak link. If you scroll through the comments there is a link of someone who built one inspired by this. He put locks on both sides and did away with the hinge altogether. This was a good idea. Thanks for commenting. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

I never did but there are a few times I wish I would have. The times I wish I would have are when I had large upfront cost. For instance I once paid for $2400 worth of gravel on my account with the assumption the person was going to pay me within 2 weeks of completion (the 1st of the month). He said I misunderstood him and he meant the 1st of the following month. Fortunately, I had enough in my account to cover it and he did pay me. If you have to pay upfront costs is when I would ask for money in advance. Also, always put everything in writing (get a contract). If someone doesn’t have the ability to pay upfront, you must be willing to walk away and leave it to a bigger company who can absorb those costs. Saying no, is sometimes your best option. Graciously decline the work. If there were jobs that only required my time and fuel I typically wouldn’t have them put any money down. Then at least you are only out of time and some fuel. Unfortunately, running a business has risks associated with it. This is one of those risks you do run into from time to time. Thank you for watching. I hope my response was helpful.

Thanks. It was a good day

Thanks for watching and the comment. I’m glad the video was helpful.

Please do and let everyone know. My brother uses it regularly and myself on occasion and we haven’t had any issues with it. That’s disappointing.

Thanks for the comment.

We did not sharpen it and haven’t sharpened since then.

Yeah finished both days with all smallmouth. I did better with catching smallmouth in practice. So I just ran with it.

Thanks. I’m ready for next season.
