For all those watching this video easier way to remove lower gear plate is to twist till the ears of plate are on the sides and get rubber mallet and hit upwards with little force! It will keep you from scraping metal and messing up the seal 👌👌

Waaaayyyy too much gear oil if you see it leaking then you blew out the seal. You’re supposed to fill it right below that line because when liquid gets hot and expands.

For the cotter key, split the ends and bend them on at a time in opposite directions to ensure it does not come out. That revs pretty high, so you don't want that to easily to slide out like you have it there.

Add to the confusion on the fuel mixture issue. The Hangkai website states using a 50:1 fuel mixture, which is what my weed whacker uses. I buy TruFuel premixed fuel, and never had a problem with the weed whacker. Not sure which way to go on this.

Use marine grade grease to lubricate the prop shaft bushing. Also gear oil needs breathing room. It expands during use and heat production so totally full could be problematic. Break in time is ten hours at the recommended fuel/ oil mixture, then change the mixture to normal operating mix. Don’t rev the motor during break in, that’s where people run into problems. Break in at low speed, not idle. There is a clutch in the lower unit and it stops the impeller and prop from turning at idle. Max idle time is 5 minutes, after that bad things start to happen. Change you spark plug to Champion CJ8 or NGK equivalent. Stock plug is sub standard. Good luck.

That's perfect To know I should have probably mentioned that in the video I think for the break in period it's not too badd to use regular oil since you should change it right after the 10 hour break in What do you think?

I just got a 3.5 hp and am breaking it in, with running it in a trash can w/ water up the the right level. Mixed gas & oil as in your video. There's quite a bit of smoke or burned oil - is that a problem, and what can I do about it? The motor, water, and trash can aren't perfectly level and perpendicular - is that a problem?

I just got a free Hangkai 3.5 hp 2 stroke. I bought a spare prop for $14.. I got to get a pin, the little plastic cup that was in my old prop around the pin, and napa has an exact match stainless cotter pin. The face book hangkai group said use 30:1 for break in, then start using 50:1 after break in. The little 3.5 has a huge following. Not sure about the other Hangkai engines.
