Probably a centrifugal clutch.

As a Chinese, I am proud of this Hongkai. A brand new motor for the price of 10 General Tso's Chicken take outs? What else can you ask for?
-
Hope you put gear oil in it they come dry..... They are a great little motor if you do a few little mods and look after it, i have one iverca year now and its great.... Ok I see you did good stuff 👍 you also have to break the engine in for 10 hours.... Before you take it out.. it has a centrifugal clutch so it won't pump water while idling..

Had that same type and clutch on a Sears was an awesome little motor.
-
180 bucks and they include parts. ....hard to beat that
-
It's called a centrifugal clutch

I have the 18hp Hangkai and i have nothing negative to say about it. It was well packaged, came with 6 gallon tank, and fuel hose assembly. The motor is a Yamaha clone. It starts on the first or second pull every time. I did pull the stickers off the cowling. I got tired of people and their passive aggressive comments 😂. They would say that thing will leave you stranded. Or say its foreign made junk 😂.

Might need to get one of these for my kayak! Thanks for the rundown
-
You’re lucky you caught that gear oil problem. I bet you many people with this engine never did this so excellent job.
-
I actually own the exact same motor. It should have came with a replacement pull cord assembly. If it doesn't, get one and keep it with you. You will thank me later. I forgot mine and got stuck on Tosh Brown's Island. I am lucky enough to have really good friends who were able to come and get me. You will love it. Have fun

Pretty cool that it has a centrifugal clutch, I have mud motors that are always in gear and it's generally a pain. Loving the channel, cool to see another Ohio person!
-
I have one. Couple things. Need to break it in for 10hrs with 35:1, and then run it at 50:1 after that. Also, I pulled the handle off and wrapped a little black tape under it so you can let it run without having to hold the throttle.

I've been looking for a recent video of someone with one of these 3.6's!! I've kinda been on the fence of buying one of these outboards for my 12ft jon boat. This video has me leaning to go ahead and buy one. Thanks for the great video!
-
You having some fun in a small boat with a small motor! You are out there...the setup is very portable, the setup is fun in the sun. With huge inflation, why go into debt? Well done, I'll check the Hangkai myself!
-
Hankai sounds a bit like anchor, dual use?
-
That looks like just what my Coleman Scanoe needs. The factory 4in aluminum transom will handle a 15hp engine. 25hp was pretty hairy. But fun. This will be nice to teach the grandkids how to operate a outboard motor boat.

As they always say: "When all else fails, read the destructions!" 😉
-
Hell yea bro loving your vids 💪
-
Centrifugal clutch? Like a mini bike.
-
Was there a reverse gear option on that unit? If there is not, would the tiller swing all the way around the other way to essentially be reverse propulsion? Thanks for the vid.
