    Tohatsu 9.8 making TONS of oil, ran great last time out!

    New to me 9.8 Tohatsu 4stroke, ran great first few times out. Have run it in a 55gal drum, never has taken more than 2 pulls to start it, until I tried to take it out today :(. Hadn't run it in 2 weeks, left with the stabilized (startron) 93 hooked up out in the back yard. Wasn't turning...

    Tohatsu 9.8hp 4stroke prop id?

    I just recently picked up a 2004 tohatsu 9.8hp 4stroke outboard. It could use a new prop. The problem is I can't find any numbers on the prop, anywhere! I'm wondering if there is an easy way to measure and get the pitch? I'm confident I can figure the diameter on my own, hehe. I have not...

    Help with Johnson 6hp, running but no re-start

    So I posed earlier in the season about my new-to-me johnson 6hp tiller. Hoped that I would get her on the water but probably not likely until spring. She is currently still sitting in a barrel in the back yard. Here is my original post...

    Leakdown test on OB??

    I have a leakdown tester that I have used for 2-stroke dirt bikes, ATVs, and snowmobiles. You have to block off the exhaust port with an old bicycle tube under the flange and then you put the adapter into the rubber boot for the carb, clamp it down and pressurize/vacuum test the crankcase. It...

    Trim tabs on Lund WC-16 dlx??

    Been doing some reading on here and thinking that the lund could benefit from some trim tabs. Thing is I can't find any pics or anyone talking about putting tirm tabs on such a basic boat, only on fancier or bigger boats. It's a light boat with the 20hp honda on the back (only like 108 #) but...

    2000 johnson 6hp 2stroke help

    Just picked up a used but not for a bunch of years Johnson 6hp. Eager to see how she runs I tossed some relatively fresh 40:1 premix with high quality non-marine(not tc-w3, torco gp-7) 2 stroke oil. I know this should run it a tad lean but it was just for a test run in a cooler in the back...

    Seized 25hp 2-stroke

    My brother acquired a 25hp 2stroke mercury that is apparently only a few years old (don't have the year) and has very low hours on it. Someone ran straight gas in it and it's seized. I've tried dumping oil down the spark plug holes, still not freeing up with the pull rope. Question is...
