    Tohatsu m8 2003 8hp jumps up and down

    Tohatsu m8 2003 8hp jumps up and down

    No problems till now. Only 20 hours on it as far as I know. The transom board looks good. Maybe it is flexing. I put it in a tank without the prop and it shifted normally so it may shift only when running. Maybe I mismeasured the oil amount? Doubt it. Guess I will take it to the river & try it...

    Tohatsu m8 2003 8hp jumps up and down

    The motor ran normally the time before. This time when trying to accelerate above low speed or idle it would buck or jump up and down like the the prop was hitting bottom, yet it wasn't. I had a different motor that needed a new hub, but this seems different. The gear oil is good. Spun prop or...

    Can anyone identify this part for Evinrude E8RCOB 8hp 1985 motor?

    Not sure where this white piece came from. The black one goes in the bottom of the manual starter for comparison. I looked at all the parts diagrams and can't find it. I took off the manual starter, carburetor and manifold cover. It was in my parts box but could have come from something else but...
