      On the generator, please check the oil it’s oil is low. The engine will not start. I have two of those generators if that’s not the problem check to make sure the vent is OK if that’s not OK the float and the carburetor the needle the jet is probably sticking. On the outboard I’m not trying to seem like I know it all, but I have a lot of experience in diesel jet engines automobile engines all sorts anyways on the outboard. I believe you have a coil problem. Somebody mentioned that before I think you have a coil those coils are covered by resin and and sometimes crack sometimes they crack and moisture gets in there. New spark plugs in the outboard will probably get it running again, but it’ll start quitting because it’s not a hot enough spark and they’re fowling

    Hey Shawn, have you considered an electric jet motor? This would be much more reliable given all of the gas issues from the weather. You could get a couple lithium batteries to power it and just store them inside when it is freezing out. You could build a hydro generator that gives you power 24/7. I can certainly help you or direct you in building one of considerable power. I can also show you how to have PC on your large TV without the need of laptop for more reliable computer set up.I love what you are doing and I truly want to be as remote as you are and I am off grid now but not as remote and I would love to have a raging river such as what you have.
    You could also build a rope bridge up high from tree to tree or even bank to bank. You could use a barge as well that you could pull yourself across with a rope and have the rope flown across with a drone when you want to cross with materials, you just pre set it up on each side and ready to use your drone for carrying the rope. I can show you several ways that are relatively inexpensive to do.
    Would love to help you out there!

    Before you pull off the Carbs, try draining them. Might be water in there. Easy job to do with the tools you got there. Make sure you have clean fuel before trying again🤞

    • @Zachry86
      @Zachry86 2 часа назад +5

      Was thinking the same. Especially on the generator. Might have water in the fuel tank.
      When pulling the bowl look for water droplets. It will be visible most likely.
      If so you need to drain the entire content of the tank to be safe.
      I don't know the name of the product in English, but there is a very common additive you can put in the gasoline that will make the water mix with the fuel (to a certain extent). Considering your environment and the use of so many containers etc it should probably be a part of your inventory.

    You need a good set of chest waders, 2 large truck inner tubes, a sheet of T-1 11 for a flat platform, 20 feet of Pollyroad that floats. Build a raft and wade the lumber up the river to the camp when the water level is low. Drill out some holes to run some rope through to secure the T-1 11 to the tubes.

    Would a chain work? The chain is fixed either side but drops to the river bed. You use your boat and pull the chain over the boat like a ferry. Maybe the metal boat could have some sort of guide (like row locks) just to guide the boat so it always points up river and can’t turn sideways and be rolled. Just an idea.

    • @ilikeitwhenitssunny7067
      @ilikeitwhenitssunny7067 2 часа назад +3

      The reason for it being a chain and dropping to the river bed when not in use is so that it won’t be in the way of any other river users.

    The boat engine issue is very likely a ignition issue. Not the spark plug, but coil pack, or distributor. Could offcourse be injectors. But those can ble cleaned./same with if its a carby. Allso, when using start gas/spray, you need to open the throttle so it gets in to actually detonate from the spark you say you have.

    Just to give some inspiration. There are cable ferries. You could tension it to pull yourself across in some floating boat/platform. Then when crossing is finished you can release tension and let it sink to the bottom and the waterway is clear. Would require at least a manual winch on each side and a sinking rope (anchor rope). But this does not require insane tension and heavy duty stainless wires. It will not get you killed if it fails. It could even support you when you walk across.
    But anyways. Fully agree that it should not be something you focus on or prioritze now or even for a few years

    If you had two ropes tie one to each side of the river and pull yourself with one and bring the other to pull yourself back with the other. You could make a raft just for going back and forth. If you wanted to be fancy you tie each robe with a knot ever foot give your take for easy pulling

    Hi, building a crossing of the river is a costly (costly, minimum $50 thousand) hazardous undertaking that may last only until the next flood. I am an angler and have used them all over New Zealand and these are solid structures build by the Parks engineers for public use and are called Flying Foxes! We normally have a cable swing bridges to cross rivers, but even these can be wiped out in a flood. In your case you need cash to get all your materials together and have them moved by helicopter, expensive but cheaper than making a river crossing. The solution for transport on your shallow river is a NZ Hamilton Jet. Look it up, it was designed for fast flowing low level rivers. Good luck mate, you will need it! Harera

You can take the lower unit off and install the jet drive. The Honda has more power than the Yamaha . The two motors I have used in resorts are very dependable. They will go through hell with tourists . Take that motor and mark a reef . Also look for a boat made with aircraft aluminum on the bottom hull ! That boat will take a beating without caving in

    Hello shawn my friend. The issue that the jet motor seems to be having is gas issues. I would start by checking the gas lines for a small one way filter. And number 2 I would check the gas tank for a filer in that aswell. #3 i clean the carb and jets. And last I would put a little bit of seafoam in the gas(will help clean the full gas system. As always stay safe and enjoy yourself buddy. Another wicket video by the way

    Good to see you battlin.. Just a thought.. A 5gallon pail with a spigot installed.. filled with water. attached to your little stove.. warm water for anytime use. also as warm water a tiny bit more heat radiating in that small space.

    Really hooked on your channel. Watch you dig holes but never use a muck board. Just curious, do you just love shoveling?
