Parsun

[Malcolm]

Has any one had any experience with Parsun outboards yet ?

I bought a 40 hp on ebay the other day so we will see its had 3hrs use 2 year old $700 thought it was worth the risk

Probably find its just a rebadged something else anyway.....

Looked at a Great Wall 4wd the other day and its all Mitsubushi under the hood and even has all the badges still on.

Mitsubushi or Mitsubishi ?

I've been following an Ausfish thread on one.....apart from the usual waffle it's quite interesting.

[bootyinblue]

Mitsubushi as in can take it bush... unlike some other 4wd's!

And yea I would have a look on Ausfish, but my username seems to not work anymore ;-)

Booty, although the engine might be similar, the car is very different. The safety rating of the Great Wall's is awful. Here's a link on it, but there's probably more informative ones somewhere else.

my moto has always been { treat it with no resect, and it will last forever } try that mal

i have also heard they are similar to a yamaha, or rebadged yammy, but hard to believe the yammy corp would have any part of that ay !!!!!

Thats a good price for a 2 yr old motor,is it a 4 sstroke Mal?

parsun is chinese made in the city of Suzhou. parsuns are copies of yamaha's.yet murcury motors make some styles of there motors and parts too.

parun uses the design right of the older style yamaha motors so yes the parsun is a bit behind the eight ball technology wise.

parts for parsun outboards are interchangable with yamaha motor parts.

The quality of the plastics used in the fuel system are not so great.and my understanding of the four stroke range is that you cant use synthetic oils in them.

the parsun motors do not have elec.start or trim/tilt correct me if I'm wrong.the pull start is made a bit inferior and is a common part that breaks.so you might need to carry the tools to pull the pull start cowling off and a length of rope :laugh: incase this ever hapens to ya mal.

As rob said look after it and it should look after you.

to prevent the fuel system fouling up on you I would sudgest disconecting the fuel and run the motor to use the fuel up left in the engine before storage between trips.

Hello Everyone

I thought I may jump on this forum and shed some light and make some minor corrects about the Parsun outboard motors.

My name is Garry Baikovas I'm the owner of Island Marine Enterprises which has been working with the Parsun company for over 8 years now and been offering the Parsun outboard within Australia for over 6 years.

Parsun is a Chinese built and owned company. Its locates in Suzhou China in the same suburb as the Mercury outboard factory is located.

The models parts are interchangeable with either yamaha, tohatsu or mercury outboards. All depending on which models you are talking about. Parsun doesn’t have any affiliation with any of these companies.

To make some corrections to Mick above, all the models are interchangeable with the latest models NOT the earlier models. For some reason this is a bit of an Urban myth but it doesn't make any sense Parsun would design an outboard with older technology.

There is no problems with the starter mechanisms. There is no need to take tools so you can start the motor. Just pull the starter and away you go. If you have to take the cowling off the motor it needs to be looked at under warranty.

As far as plastics in the fuel system, all fuel lines aren’t made from plastic they are made from UV stabilised and fuel resistant materials. I've never replaced a fuel line to date.

If there is a problem I've never heard of it and all warranty claims are approved by myself personally.

Parsun is extremely close to releasing Tilt Trim on the 90hp outboard soon to hit our shores. This T/T unit will then be rolled out onto the 40hp 2-stroke and 25hp 4-stroke motors. I've been waiting for T/T for ages now and can’t wait for it to arrive.

If anyone would like to ask some questions about the motors please feel free to ask.

Gary do you have a website?

I have seen a parsun leccy down the hinze and made a bit of a fool of myself as it had heaps of grunt and I thought that the guy was running a parsun petrol motor.

Do they have a range of leccys or just the one?

They certainly leave the torqedos for dead.

Cheers

Well got it going and it did not stop and it went well but bloody loud and smokey. It was a 2 cyl 2 stroke so that's it really I sold it after a few months.

Hi Ray

Yes we have a website www.parsun.com.au.

The preson you run into at Hinze Dam was a guy called Ricky Simmons. We sponsour him. Dont think you made a fool of yourself as Ricky has people coming up to him all the time on the dam thinking its a normal outboard. I think Ricky has a bit of fun tricking people.

Here's a youtube click of ricky at a fishing comp
