    Nissan 5 hp 4 stroke, locked in reverse after reattaching shift linkage.

    I usually set the LU in N and the shift lever in N and then tighten the coupler. Sounds like your coupler is still off a bit.

    Carburetor adjustment

    The mixture screw should start about 2 turns out and adjust from there. The idle stop should have you idling below 1000 rpm.

    Gas line size

    It should work, but that's a lot of fittings and stuff. I would just use a 5/16 bulb.

    Removing carb from Tohatsu MFS 20C

    If acarbed outboard will sit for more than a day or 2, I always run the carb dry. If you leave fuel in it for a week or 2, you are asking for gunk. You can drain the bowl if you forgot to run it dry. Pulling the intake only involves a few 6mm bolts with 10mm heads and it pops right off...

    New Tohatsu 3.5 HP (MFS3.5C) Won't start after it's warmed up.
