    MFS6C Can I put a side shift lever on this motor?

    Re: MFS6C Can I put a side shift lever on this motor? Here is a picture of the shift shaft sticking out the side of a 2013 6HP. The bar that goes up into the motor actually connects to the front shift lever. It looks like this was originally designed for a side shift lever and the front shift...

    Water dripping from shift lever - 1967 Johnson 6HP

    Is it possible for a bad seal on top of the water pump tube to cause water to drip off of the shift lever? My 1967 Johnson 6HP is dripping water from the shift lever when I'm running it in a trash can. It's idling, seems to be pumping water fine at idle, and water is steadily dripping from...

    New 6HP Tohatsu burning oil

    I'm looking for guidance on what to do next. I just bought a new 6HP Tohatsu, almost 13 hours on it now, and when I slow down from cruising speed (3/4 to full throttle) I smell the distinct smell of burning 4-stroke oil. It starts easy and runs great. At slower speeds and idle I don't smell...

    Tohatsu 6HP (2013 model year) fuel hose connector, which one?

    Can someone please point me to a link online where I can buy the motor-side fuel line connector for a 2013 Tohatsu 6HP motor? I found one that said all Mercury 1998 and later, and since the Tohatsu 6HP is the same as the Mercury 6HP I thought this would fit, but it did not. I ordered a...

    Can anyone give me the part number or a link to the washers that go on the lower unit oil fill/drain screws for a early 2000 model Mercury 9.9 HP 2-stroke? I've looked and looked, and I can't seem to find them. Thanks!

    ringing noise at 3000rpm, 6HP 2013 model year

    I just picked up a new 2013 model year 6HP Tohatsu 4-stroke with integrated fuel tank, and I've got just over 6 hours on it so far (installed a tach + hour meter before running). It's on a 13' aluminum boat with a wood-encased transom. Right about 3000 rpm it starts making a loud noise that is...

    6HP stops pumping water at high RPM (1967, new water pump)

    My 1967 6HP Johnson stops pumping water at full throttle. It was in the garage for about 20 years, it started right up so I had a new water pump professionally installed. Now it pumps water just fine, up to somewhere around 1/2-3/4 throttle. But when you open it up water stops coming out of...

    Johnson 6HP - 1967 (CD-24D) carburetor removal

    I'm bringing a 1967 6HP Johnson back to life (model CD-24D). It's running, but rough, so I want to remove and clean the carburetor. It looks strait forward, except for the pull start mechanism that is blocking one of the carburetor mounting bolts. The spring in that thing is impressively...
