When you find it is difficult to start the outboards that has been stored for some time, please check the outboards carefully as instructed in our owner’s manual first .If after inspection, the outboards can’t start yet, we think you should clean the carburetor. Because the fuel in the carburetor would go bad after a long time and produce some particulate which thus affect the starting of outboards.
Besides, the fact if there is some impurity adhering to the needle of the carburetor will cause the fuel to leak from the carburetor.
Please remember to use the special washing agent to clean the carburetor and start the outboards as the follow steps:
Pull the starter rope slowly until the engine engages;
Pull rapidly to crank the engine;
Allow rope to return slowly;
Repeat until engine starts;
Push in the choke knob after the engine started.
Why some outboards will overheat while running?
Generally speaking, there are three reasons for this problem. The first reason is the cooling water passage was blocked, so you should check whether the outlet of the outboards has normal water current. We recommend you change your impeller every year at a minimum depending on the amount of use you put on your outboard. One thing to remember is that even if you only use your outboard a couple of times a year you still need to have your impeller checked/replaced every year. Water pump impellers are made of rubber and will deteriorate over time even without being used (commonly referred to as “dry rot”); this can be just as damaging to your water pump as wear and tear.
The second reason is that the oil is too short. The last reason is that the end users start the engine out of water and then make the water pump to be damaged.
Do Parsun outboards come with lower unit oil (gear oil) already installed from the factory?
Yes. The lower unit gear oil has already been added at the factory, however, you should check to ensure it is completely full before starting your outboard for the first time. To replace/add lower unit oil we recommend any SAE 80 or 90 weight oil. You may also want to check out our owner’s manual on how to change and check the oil in your lower unit.
Please note: there are not gear oil if the outboards transport by the air.
