    Tohatsu 6 hp 2022 plastic pieces

    Or you could look for the Mercury part (DRUM Throttle #803571). They seem to be instock everywhere, including Amazon.

    Tohatsu 6 hp 2022 plastic pieces

    If you're talking about the little plastic "arm" on the carburetor for the throttle, I doubt you'd be able to buy that separately.

    Nissan 9.8 has a pull-starting issue (doesn't always engage into motor), also a carburetor question.

    I agree with Paul on both. Clean/lube the ratchets would probably do the trick. You also might try modifying how you pull. Instead of "one big pull" to start, you should actually pull VERY QUICKLY and VERY LIGHTLY for the first couple inches just to engage the ratchets, THEN pull hard to...

    6hp 4 stroke tohatsu (mercury) won’t reach WOT under load

    The issue is getting the hull up on plane. At the lower RPMS (even 5,000) the engine isn't developing the full 6HP. I'm guessing MattFL's boat has a lot less beam than yours and that's why he can get on plane. If the motor works for you in all other ways, (light weight, fuel economy, etc)...

    6hp 4 stroke tohatsu (mercury) won’t reach WOT under load

    Have you adjusted the valves or checked to see that they are correctly adjusted? Also, just curious, but what speed can you get in the 18.5’ fiberglass hull when that motor is at WOT?

    6hp 4 stroke tohatsu (mercury) won’t reach WOT under load

    Well, you could be starting it for fuel but that wouldn't be my first guess. How high of an RPM does it get under load? Has the carb been cleaned? What prop are you actually running? How are you loading the boat? With the size boat you're running, I'd recommend the "high thrust" prop that...

    Honda 5 HP 2007 -- Revs high in neutral with low throttle, low revs in gear

    Looking at that video again, you might need to do some cable adjustments. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT CAUSING THE HIGH RPM IN NEUTRAL. It's just something you should do (or check), as you might not be opening the throttle up to 100% when you move the handle all the way. If you look at the picture...

    6hp tohatsu won’t turn on

    Saw that, but really wondering how effective that test was executed.

    Honda 5 HP 2007 -- Revs high in neutral with low throttle, low revs in gear

    Well, at least from that video it doesn't look like the throttle cables are the culprit. You have a tough one here. About how high would you say it's revving in neutral? The only way for the engine to really rev is for it to get more gas AND air. Timing changes can make it go a little...

    6hp tohatsu won’t turn on

    I'm curious how you "inspected" the flywheel too! If you're getting spark, then it's not the oil pressure issue. And you can disco that oil switch if you really think that might be a cause, but don't forget to reconnect it as it DOES serve a useful purpose. Forget about spark AT ALL until you...

    6hp tohatsu won’t turn on

    Just an FYI... but there is no "electronic compression thing". There is a mechanism on the cam that will keep one of the valves open longer when the cam is spinning SLOWLY (like, when you pull start it). Once the engine fires and spins faster than ~200 RPM or so, that mechanism is disabled...

    Prop shaft seal---Which direction via picture?

    Does this help?

    Honda 5 HP 2007 -- Revs high in neutral with low throttle, low revs in gear

    Sounds like you might have something loose in the throttle cable linkages. Open the cover and take some pictures. And look at the cables and linkage as you're moving the throttle around. The engine doesn't have to be running to do this, and if it's not you can put it in gear so you get the...

    BF8A & Sore Wrist (Hard Starting)

    "open the close the throttle a few times prior to starting" won't do anything, other than exercise your wrist. If the carb is clean, then it shouldn't be an issue to start. What's the spark plug look like? (clean? fouled?) Do you get a nice spark? When cold, you should fully apply the...

    2003 Honda BF8 No Compression

    Did you ever address Matt's question... "When you welded the sprocket to the cam, were you carefully to line it up properly?" If you aren't 100% sure that the cam gear is in the OEM orientation relative to the cam lobes you're going to have a heck of a time getting the valve timing right...

    Popping and shaking

    If you're going to be running it anyway, you can try something like Seafoam in the gas. It MIGHT dissolve some obstructions in the carb while you're using it, but I certainly wouldn't count on it. The ideal/easy way to set up the idle mixture is to run the engine at idle in gear in the water...

    BF10 Gear Rod Assembly broken

    If it is like mine, then there's a pin that holds the top of the shift rod in place. There's a little cotter pin holding this pin in. They are a PITA to remove because there's not a lot of space in there to get to it.

    Honda 50 Ticking/Whirly Sound

    Looks like you "solved" the problem, but I'm wondering what the actual difference is between the new and old flywheel? There wasn't anything loose in the old flywheel was there? Is there more clearance in the new flywheel? Slightly thinner magnets? For other with noise issues, something here...

    Stalls running at idle speed

    Here's another thought too... looking at the parts diagram in post #14 (is that your actual carb?) It looks like there might be passages in the bottom of the bowl. I had a Tohatsu carb similar to that and the passage in the bottom of the bowl was blocked. On that engine, that passage fed...
