Hello all,
I recently purchased a small 2hp outboard motor for use with a Sevylor inflatable. I bought it from a merchant on eBay and when I received it - it starts but throttle will stall the outboard when applied. I found only a single brass screw for adjustment and I also notice the prop doesn't turn even after removing the prop and checking the shear pin. I think someone mentioned that these Chinese motors are made by Hangkai and assembled in California. Any thoughts anyone on brands for replacement parts on the carburetor or what I should check to get the prop moving? Any thoughts on if this is truly water cooled other than to drop the lower unit? I didn't see a stream of water when the motor idles but the exhaust does come out near the prop. This is a horrible 20/25:1 oil mixture and I would love to find a way to bump it to 50:1 so it doesn't stink as much.
Here's the video to my channel

Everyone's thoughts? Does anyone know of someone who can service this in Lewisville, Texas or nearby?
