    how about cooling ?

    • @BoilerDan1
      @BoilerDan1 Před 6 dny

      The motor is somewhat cooled by water. But it’s a very simplistic plastic wheel down near the propeller. It does push through some water and I suspect it’s air cooled also. I do think in very hot weather it does seem to get very warm. So I’m not sure how well it would work in a very hot climate zone.

    • @BoilerDan1
      @BoilerDan1 Před 19 dny

      Hmmm; I’m no expert but I’ll give you some possibilities. No water: Two possibilities 1. The tube is blocked 2. The impeller wheel is broken. The cooling system is very simple. Down near the propeller there’s a plastic impeller that spins with the drive shaft going to the propeller. If the propeller spins, it pumps water unless the plastic fins have snapped off. I’m guessing that there’s a clogging in the tube or something like that. The cutting out when full throttle is probably an adjustment to the carburetor needs done. Look up small engine carburetor adjustment on CZcams as the process is pretty much the same for most small engines. You might just change the carburetor? You could also experience that if you’re running it with too much oil mixture in the gas. I’m going out of town today and will try to get you some more information when I get back home tomorrow. Hope you can get it going as I’m sure you’re a little frustrated!😩

    • @BoilerDan1
      @BoilerDan1 Před 19 dny

      Here’s a link to the manufacturer in China. 1. On top right of the page confirm that English is selected. 2. On the upper left you’ll see 3 horizontal lines. Click that and select “News” 3. There are several options there of interest including troubleshooting. Should be confirmation of the proper oil to gas ratio too. Hope all of this helps 👍👍

    • @BoilerDan1
      @BoilerDan1 Před 19 dny

      I looked up the fuel mix. Here’s what they recommend: And the mixing ratio of the fuel HANGKAI two-stroke outboards fuel used for lead-free number from 90 to 93 two-stroke gasoline and gas oil (TC-W3) mixed oil. The new machine in the running and fuel oil during the volume ratio of 25: 1 (ie, the oil content of 4% gasoline); After the run-in fuel and oil volume ratio of 50: 1 (ie, the oil content of 2% gasoline) ……………………………………………… I will mention that the break in oil volume will result in some oil residue. It could also cause the issue when running full speed…. Maybe do 35/1 and see if that helps? Once you get the 10 hour run in, the 50/1 mix will run clean and smooth. If you’ve watched all of my videos on the motor, I also changed the spark plug.👍👍

Kind of looks like a bobby pin. You will need to bend it back straight so it will slide out. Then take a flat head screwdriver and gently rock it between the propeller housing and the motor housing.

      Yes, with a few exceptions. Mine did fine but the fuel lines didn’t last very long. But when replacing, the new ones are made for use with the newer fuel types.

  • @sub04aru
    @sub04aru Před měsícem

    It’s coming along. One little note is that the notches where the bulkheads and the deck meet; the deck planking should cover those notches instead of cutting the notches into the deck planking. I know because I also cut the notches into the deck planks and the bulkheads will show. It just seemed intuitive because the deck is notched but the deck planking shouldn’t be. Not a big deal because I see that on this kit only every other bulkhead is notched. Hope that makes sense. I only noticed it because I look for it now. I’ve seen others make the same mistake on similar kits, especially the Albatros kit. A lot of creativity goes into your builds so it’s a nice alternative to the strict builds.

    • @BoilerDan1

If I had planked over them, they’d be out of sight. I’ll give it a try! Thanks again for helping me out. Some other novice builders will no doubt learn from my experiences 😂👍.

      Your English is good. There are different versions of the Black Pearl. It sounds like the one you have isn’t from ZHL. My first one wasn’t either 😂👍. Bottles: take a small dowel rod, then sand or file down the top to get the shape of bottles. Or make them out of children’s play dough, let dry and get hard, then paint. Bones are bit harder. But there are very small rib like bones I have found when I eat chicken! Save them, clean and let dry. You can trim them to make smaller….. might be able to form some leg / arm bones too. The scull might be difficult, but forming one out of clay might work? If you can find someone that has a 3D printer, they might be able to make some of the items that you need. ……………………………………………… More thoughts: Small tips of wooden tree branches that you could bend while freshly cut and form legs, arms, even fingers 😂.

    Great videos Dan! Did you obtain greater life from the Honda aftermarket clutch? I suspect the lighter spring allows quicker seating of the friction material, as well as greater force at mid level RPMs. I'm curious to know how you fared!

      All the springs were too heavy so I ended putting in a very light spring that I picked up at a hardware store. It did much better, although it may have been so light that at idle the prop may have still been too. That was fine with me. I’m getting a little older and sold the system. That person was familiar with the motor and thrilled to have mine. I’d have been happier with it on a hard shell small boat….. The raft was a little too spongy causing it to lose thrust. But I had a lot of fun with it and would do it all over again.😂👍 Thanks for watching and hope the series helped you too. 👍👍

      😂👍 Welcome to the club! I never dreamed that this video would be my most viewed….. I spent a full year on building The Black Pearl ship and it is no where close to the success of The Tommy Chair…. If you want a good laugh, read through other comments from the past.😂😂😂.

      You’re welcome! I truly appreciate your generosity in the SUPER THANKS payment. Actually the beach chair video is my most watched ! It took all of 30 minutes to produce. I spend untold hours building wooden model ships and producing related videos…… none produce much revenue 😂. I will put yours $ to good use, as my CZcams cash goes towards equipment and ships to build in the future. Thanks for taking your time to give me some positive feedback as well.

    This motor is 700 bucks cheaper then the closest brand name motor if you go out here and there its the perfect motor if you boat alot then your better off with a suzuki .i bought this for my sea eagle 10ft inflatable.and i dont beat on it and it has worked perfectly fine. rule one ditch that chinese spark plug for a ngk or champion. .number 2 wax the pull start string but the most important thing is to break in the motor dont go full throttle for the first few hours and change the crap fuel lines with the tygon yellow hose.

    Just bought this motor for 200 bucks .if it has its corks here and there so be it the cheapest 3 hp branded motor is a suzuki at 750 bucks .so this motor is well worth the money . First thing you do is chuck that crappy sparkplug and put in a ngk .

      I’ll put on my list of to do in the future! The copper usually comes out very nice when put in the covered container. Just with this metal it just didn’t work… I’m totally puzzled, but will keep working on it!

    • @BoilerDan1
      @BoilerDan1 Před měsícem

      I’ve since traded that Forester in for another Forester. I do recall that if the turn signal is on for a long period of time, it did start to hyperflash. They are also extremely bright and my wife convinced me to not install them in my current Forester because when you open the tailgate at night they flash twice and it’s painful on the eyes…. Yes, they are that bright! Definitely gets the attention of drivers behind you on the interstate, day or night. Thanks for watching, hope it’s been informative.👍👍

      @@BoilerDan1 there’s better options u can get for less bright. Try Auxito amber led 54H. 5.5W. Not as bright as with a built in resistor with 24W. But still brighter than stock. And it’s more refined super bright.

      @toyotabrony Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out….. maybe on my next one. I’ve been driving about 30,000 miles a year and like to trade in at the 80,000 - 90,000 mile range. But I will look them up and maybe put on my Christmas list 😎👍👍

    • @toyotabrony
      @toyotabrony Před měsícem

      @@BoilerDan1 they always said that. Just because it says on the info, doesn’t mean it’s true. Check ur incandescent bulb to see what bulb size u have. If it’s a 7440. It’s a 7440. If it’s 3157 it’s a 3157. Those 54H led amber I mention needs either load equalizer resistor or led flasher relay. Or if u want a plug and play version load equalizer resistor. Look up alla lighting - resistor plug and play version.
