Honda small engine power kills just about everyone else and has been doing it for a long time. I just noticed you're at 274K subs, Mustie! I seem to remember just yesterday you were hanging at 13K or so. I'm so glad to see people are "getting" and enjoying your channel, and I can't think of any other that deserves your phenomenal growth more. Thanks, man!!

BF2AK 2 hp SD (short Shaft) 1989 BAEE-1100001(engine #) BAES-1100001(frame #) Direct drive (no neutral, no clutch) air cooled motor water cooled exhaust.

Do you ever drink out of the wrong coffee mug?

Oh, the memories! I purchased one of those brand new in the 1980's for my kids to push a 12' aluminium (aluminum) dinghy around on the harbour (harbor) :). They had so much fun - the big thing to remember was to open the air vent on the fuel cap - or you would stop unexpectedly. Starting it was fun - as you pointed out - it is a direct drive so when it started you were underway. The kids soon learnt to push off from the beach, bow first, hop aboard and start her up.

That Trail 70 looks so proud now.

Yes Honda do make good units, I believe the Honda Civic/Accord cars are Good, ( unsure about their others ) I have a 2020 Honda motorbike, they Do Build Good Quality!! This one sounded sweet running and will serve a small boat for many more years!!

I have the same one. Came off a bumper boat ride...mint still had the plastic film on the stickers. I believe it is 2 hp, there is a restriction plate under the carb that might give you more power if you remove it. That is a sight glass and it is for the oil. Change the drive pin in the prop with one that will break easily and it will save your prop one day (learned that one the hard way). I replaced the kill switch with a toggle switch because you have to hold the original switch until the motor completely stops or it will light up again and you'll crash into something! Water pump might need to be replaced, engine is not water cooled just the exhaust leg. Gas cap has a vent you need to unscrew to let air in. I always run gas with a bit of two cycle oil in mine. You scored on this motor.

I love how these small Honda engines always have stickers telling you what you need to do to keep the engine alive.

Open the fuel tank cap vent!

I JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW MUCH I ENJOY WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. PARDON THE CAP LOCK. IT IS 44 DEGREES WHERE I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA SO ONE HAND HAS MY MORNING CUP OF COFFEE AND I TYPE WITH MY FREE HAND. PEACE MY FRIEND, LOU G.

Mustie you’re definitely a unique guy and I mean that in the best possible way . I’ve watched numerous videos and I admire that you don’t half ass anything. Not sure what your background is in mechanics but it’s completely satisfying to watch you bring damn near everything you touch back to life.Wholesome , entertaining videos with no unnecessary cussing and you include your audience. Keep em coming!!

Who else was craning their neck trying to get a better look down the oil hole?

That’s a sweet little outboard. Doesn’t surprise me that it starts - it’s a Honda. Great video

Day off, house to myself and a new Mustie video...

Just recently found your channel. I love how it feels like I'm listening to your thought process as you sort out what to do to get the gear running again. Additionally it's so great how you include us as as participants in the video. Thanks Mustie.

I have a 1964 6hp Montgomery wards sea king that has only been ran 6 times in its entire life. It's pretty much a wall piece and still has factory spark plugs in it and still has the paint on them also. Great little motor

Definitely split pin , cotter pin is tapered pin with nut on end that holds cranks onto BB on older bicycles.

Yay! A Lilly appearance. Woof!

I really appreciate the way that you deliver your commentary. It is almost as if I am in the shop with you and you are talking to me. Whenever you make a mistake or have an accident you just laugh it off and continue on - great way to make it through the day and have a long life. Loved seeing your dog.

That is one beautiful looking little Honda.
