    Hangkai 6hp Outboard Maintenance

    Can you power what you need with a battery jump box? You can get them with a lot of different out lets. I clear coated mine finally , and its so easier to clean now than it was with just the black paint on it ! I lake and river fish and sometimes depending on rain the water scum would stick to...

    1980 Mercury 150 V6 Fuel Issues

    Hi Can you post a picture of the carbs with the milky condensation? On muffs with water turned on. Run using your fast idle lever to roughly 2,500 rpm for about 10 minutes, let it cool then check your spark plugs again, mark which cylinders the plugs are still real wet. This may tell you which...

    Solar battery chargers

    Thanks I was only thinking about the trickle charger for my backup battery that i never use, that is why i was thinking about the trickle charger for it to just keep it topped off. My main battery i run everything on and from everything i have researched I think a 250 watt is doable in Summer ...

    Solar battery chargers

    Hi tepenfield After buying a battery percentage meter and checking my main battery after a short trip today i check my main after loading it on the trailer the meter showed 12.4 volts and the battery at 65%. This wasnt a worst case , so the 50% used during a trip would be a good assumption. So i...

    Hangkai 6hp Outboard Maintenance

    Like i said in my first post My opinion only! Do what you feel is right for you. From the reviews i looked at before my purchase and videos if you are running it in saltwater put multiple coats of clear coat starting from below the motor to the bottom of the skeg. The motor only has black paint...

    Hangkai 6hp Outboard Maintenance

    One question Did you confirm 2 stoke or 4 stroke? 4 stroke for a 6 hp will have a muffler like a lawn mower and No forward or reverse shifter . You have to rotate motor 180 to back up. The 6.5 ,4 stroke will have a shifter and be water cooled. From what i tell from all the new ones anyway. My 2...

    Hangkai 6hp Outboard Maintenance

    I dont think the 6 hp one i have is any where near 6 hp. On my boat with gps max speed is 3.5 mph . The 8 hp Mercury would push it 10.5 mph , thats a lot of difference for 2 hp!

    Hangkai 6hp Outboard Maintenance

    Just an opinion I bought mine new 6 hp ,2 stroke Manual says 40:1 for beakin then 50:1 oil mix. I have saw where they reccomend mixing oil with gas for the 4 stoke breakin period. I used auto store 80/90 wt gear oil. Manual reccomends changing it every 100 hours. I always run pennzoil synthetic...

    Scraped bottom

    The prop information will be stamped into it. I am not close to my motor so i found a pic on the internet showing how it is stamped . I have saw some stamped on either end of the propellor so you may have to remove it . If its not visible on the outside.

    Scraped bottom

    Dont beat yourself up too bad you side swipped a rock even if the motor would have been unlocked the damage would have done. Just keep it unlocked in case the skeg hits something. I have done the same thing a few times with the motor unlocked and motor did not kick up at all. With a little...

    Johnson 90 Oops it did it again

    Ha Ha I already do that to rude boaters and jet skiers, when i catch them stopped after trying to sink me when they go by. I dont hit old people cause i one! The rive is the only thing close and its too shallow to run the boat. Thats why i gonna run it on the trailer in gear. I plan to block the...

    Johnson 90 Oops it did it again

    Are you referring to the big red connector plug ? On the wiring harness ? Hitting a boat wake is the only time it bogs down under speed. I have checked inside every plug connection on the motor and nothing has been corroded. Depending on when the rain starts tomorrow i plan to take it to the...

    Johnson 90 Oops it did it again

    J9OTLETS a few people here have said it was a jet drive at some point in its life. I think it is a 1993 model. No choke flaps on it . It has a primer valve. Just to clarify a statment i made . I said in a previous post when the switch would not stop motor i choked it down, but in reality i...

    Johnson 90 Oops it did it again

    I have already removed that stuff from the harness and i ran my own wires with switches and fuses. I did that after hitting a boat wake and it bogging down about 3 times ago. I could have missed something , the console door is pretty small for me to lay on my side and get in. Lol. When the...
