Mercury 2.5 hp 2 stroke outboard engine starting procedure and demo

I show you how to start a Mercury 2.5 hp 2 stroke outboard engine and some of the features and challenges of this little short shaft jon boat motor. I show in-depth how to start a small outboard motor. This little light weight 2 stroke outboard engine is made by Tohatsu and is apparently quite similar to other Mercury, Nissan and Tohatsu branded outboards. Small two stroke outboards like this are portable, simple, inexpensive and fun. If you're considering a small 2 stroke outboard engines like this Mercury 2.5, it might be just right for your tiny boat or jon boat if you don't need a great deal of speed and want a light weight little outboard. With a weight of only 30 lbs (13.6 Kg) with the fuel tank - this outboard is lightweight and very easy to put on your boat.
