    Tohatsu Sailpro 6 - this CAN'T be normal, right??

    Depending on the lube used, the grease may have softened the rubber bushings. It won't hurt anything. Those bushings help dampan the 1-cylinder vibrations so they don't shake the transom as much. You can get new bushings, but they probably aren't a lot stiffer. Also, if you want the motor locked...

    Tohatsu Sailpro 6 - this CAN'T be normal, right??

    The usual cause of that kind of issue is either over-lubrication with way too much grease, or grossly over-tightening of the friction band, or both. On sail applications, consumers sometimes try to use the friction band as a steering lock, and damage the mechanism. Tohatsu actually makes an...

    Tohatsu MFS 4A external fuel does not go in

    It depends on which way the fuel **** is set. The check valve (27 in the diagram) is supposed to allow external tank fuel to enter the system. The fuel **** is there to shut off the internal tank. If the **** is set to allow the internal tank to flow, and you pump the primer on the external...

    Nissan Outboard motor

    Your model number makes no sense. But... those size Tohatsu/Nissan motors have a grommet there to access the shift linkage. It will be loud with that missing. 369610160M GROMMET $3.15

    Nissan 9.8 only runs in reverse

    Odds are the shift rod (19) has popped out of the shift rod lever (11) .

    tohatsu remote control cable

    Sounds like you are already setup as remote... cool. The CD is the Capacitive Discharge ignition module (the magneto). If you ground Brown, the motor stops. The Remote kit uses a special cable end that does a twist into the shifter arm. See the diagram. The end bits are available. Use standard...

    1988 Nissan 55HP Lower Unit Issues

    The picture doesn't show all I would want to see... is the spring OK? If the ears on the clutch dog are rounded or broken, it would chatter. What are the actual symptoms? It should look more or less like this:

    How To ID And Upgrade Tohatsu 9.9 To 15?

    1. That book is worthless, except as tinder for the woodstove, or as Elvin used to say, maybe a doorstop. 2. Get the correct Factory service manual from any Tohatsu/Nissan dealer (you can use the dealer finder from the Tohatsu website). The manual will be a combination manual for all the...

    Fuel tank to fuel line connection problems

    Yes. See: Unless you are talking about an external tank hookup (M5BS), then the external hookup looks like this:

    9.8 hp 4 stroke Nissan lower running gear leak

    The LU on the 9.8 isn't mysterious; There is a seal for the drive shaft, and one for the prop shaft. There are also o-rings for the shifter cam rod, and the prop shaft housing:

    no spark, won't start

    IF you have had the prop housing out... the push rod 25 that operates the clutch probably fell out of the end of the prop shaft.

    no spark, won't start

    If you are unfamiliar with the neutral safety, it may be best to see your dealer. But, if you want to tackle the job... See pages 38 and 39 of the owner's manual at http://www.tohatsu.com/tech_info/own_man_pdfs/Toh_MFS8A3_98A3_003-11082-9.pdf about how to remove the recoil starter in the event...

    Nissan/tohatsu 6hp shift shaft woes

    I take it that you still have the LU down. Seems you are in F (cam 47 rod is up). Since you can rotate the cam rod, you likely pulled the cam rod up too far -- out of contact with the push rod 23. At this point, you need to rotate the cam rod so that the flat side of the sliding cam faces aft...

    tohatsu 9.8 corrosion on vertical shaft

    1. The shifter is not inside the steering swivel shaft, it is forward of the actual shaft. 2. You do not need to (but you can) remove the power head to expose the steering shaft bushings, but you will be separating the lower motor mount brackets to disengage from the tilt/swivel bracket. In...

    NS25C3 Prop Shaft Seal

    Just stack them. That's the setup used on the newer 25/30 motors, and supercedes the old single seal. See attached diagram for orientation:

    98 Nissan ns15d2 regulator rectifier wires

    Understand that any single-phase bridge rectifier receives 2 wires as AC input, and then provides rectified DC out. Yellow/white are your AC. Black is common ground. The schematic in the owner's manual doesn't delineate the wire, but shows it capped off in a non-charging setup. Review the...
