    Engine races, no power

    Those props don't have replaceable hubs. Just install your spare prop.

    9.8 hp Tohatsu smokes on startup

    Yes. if the old 9.8B, it will smoke at initial fireup. If an MFS9.8A or B it might be overfilled with oil, or over choked.

    Nissan NS50D No Spark Issue

    That's the high speed esg (rev limiter) loop. It's a faulty CD.

    Tohatsu 9.8 one question

    The 9.8 does not have an oil filter. I like to change around 10 or 20 hours initially, then every 50 thereafter. Same for the LU lube.

    2012 Tohatsu 30hp 2-stroke jet bogging at WOT

    Both are 155 jets.

    New to me 2020 Tohatsu 9.8 unable to go past 70% throttle, won't restart hot.

    Yeah, there's a lot of trash in the carb. set the rubber bits aside and ultrasound overnight. flush the fuel pump too. After the soak, I usually blow out all passages with generic carb spray.

    2012 Tohatsu 30hp 2-stroke jet bogging at WOT

    As I mentioned on that other forum, a leaky o-ring in the fuel line could cause that.

    2004 Tohatsu 90hp tldi error code 7000 and the battery light

    You need gauges to dx air pressure.

    2004 Tohatsu 90hp tldi error code 7000 and the battery light

    So it ran fine until you changed plugs? What the heck is a top float bolt? Gauges go on the schraeder valves on the fuel and air rails.

    Tohatsu 9.9D2 after wrong modification?

    The 3M3 is also used with the bigger carb to get 18 hp.

    honeymoon over...MFS6D

    How did they adjust the pilot screw when it has an EPA plug blocking access? It's a violation of federal law to take that out. If you can't idle down low enough, that really sounds like some varnishing in the low speed circuit. Do you run the carb dry at the end of each day, unless you are...

    Unreliable spark Tohatsu MFS6C

    The issue with intermittent electrical items is that you can't measure the failure unless they are failing at that moment. I have never seen a failed ignitor, but anything is possible. Make sure the insulation of the brown kill wire is not damaged.

    Tohatsu 9.9D2 after wrong modification?

    Apparently. Many upgrade the old 9.9s to 15s by installing that cam.

    Tohatsu 9.9D2 after wrong modification?

    3M3637180M is the 15/18 throttle cam, so you got a free upgrade.

    new to me Tohatsu 9.8 problems: oily, smoky, finally runs but won't idle...

    Those pumps are very reliable. I would just flush the heck out of it. Probably still need a good carb cleaning. Likely don't need a kit.

    new to me Tohatsu 9.8 problems: oily, smoky, finally runs but won't idle...

    Probably an MFS9.8A3. Year is irrelevant. Only holds about 3/4 quart of oil. Yes, get the level down between the 2 marks on the dipstick. After that, if you can't get idle, it likely needs the carb disassembled and Properly cleaned.

    8MLHU limited RPM

    It's acetone spray. No squeezing the bulb does not help. Yes, temp is pretty uniform. Not overheating at all. Both plugs are newish and look fine. Odd.

    8MLHU limited RPM

    Yeah. That has the pump on the side of the carb. Works really fine up to 2800, but then no more. If you blip in a wee bit of carb cleaner while running (to richen it), it nearly stalls. I had the same thought. And, since the mechanical linkage for spark advance goes all the way to the stop, I am...

    8MLHU limited RPM

    The timing seems good, as it goes right up to the stop. I am running in my test tank. The motor is to push a small sailboat.

    8MLHU limited RPM

    A customer brought me this little 100:1 2 cylinder 2 stroke. Complains it doesn't rev fast enough. Hmm. Carb opening fully. Spark advancing fully. Compression great (about 130 pounds). Plugs look to be burning fine. Starts easy on about 2 pulls. Throttles up great until about 2950. Then more...
