Stus-List Outboard motor for dinghy
I looked hard at that one at Annapolis boat show last year Super light nice
affordable package. No where near the power of the torquedo Though
There is one other I also really liked will look for the brochure.

Despite the extra cost, I am starting to like the idea of an electric. I also
found this motor: EP Carry (https://www.electricpaddle.com/index.html). It is
made in the US, slightly cheaper and lighter than the Torqeedo but otherwise
seem functionally equivalent. A bit less high tech and less
Yep Torqeudo next for me for sure (if I don’t find a used 2.5 or something) I
have a LEHR 9.9 I M happy to sell my back Just can’t quite handle that one.
Just had a long discussion with a guy at town dock he loves it!! And charges up
easily from his solar panel

Consider replacing with an electric. I got a Torqueedo 1103S for my dinghy (9ft
Zodiac rib). The motor with battery is around 38 lbs but disassembles and the
battery can be installed after you put the motor on the boat. Quiet, no fuel,
no mess, No smell, runs every time as long as you charge

I actually had one for years. NO WAY would I even think about getting
near one again. To stat with, the 10:1 mix of gas and 30 weight motor
oil made a nasty mess and it was famous for not starting at random times.

For its time the original engine was very advanced, a good proportion of the
original engines are still running and parts are generally still available to
keep them that way - a truly unique engine, a magnificent piece of

I removed and cleaned the carb on our mercury 2.5 / 4 stroke. It runs and idles
fine but will only rev about half way. I bought a rebuild kit and installed.
Same. Ordered new carb.
I think all the small engines are Chinese. And a lot are the same except
badging and plastic. Like Home Depot
I have an old Johnson 3.3 ( 1995 made in Japan ) and the only issue I've had
with it was the main jet getting clogged ( very small jet, blocks easily ),
Once I started puttinf Fule stabilizer in the gaz the problem went away ( took

Before doing anything else, try using engine starting fluid. I had
difficulty starting my lawn mower after it sat for nine months. It started
right up, and has worked fine ever since.

Those small EPA approved carbs are about impossible to clean. I would
suggest getting a new carb and if you don't use a ton of dinghy gas, buy
ethanol free gas from somewhere. I fill a gas can with 100 octane from
the airport for my lawnmower and have no issues at all with it :)
Failing that,
I rebuilt the carburetor of my Suzuki 2.5 engine last winter and it seemed fine
for a few runs and then quit completely the other day and won’t start. I have
read stories of people cleaning the carburetor 5-6 times before they got these
working again when there are problems. I probably should
