    Tohatsu 50 TLDI running rough

    I purchased a 50 hp Tohatsu TLDI last January, ran it through the break-in period last spring and recently started using it for winter fishing (my favorite season). Recently it began missing and running rough at both high & low speed. The dealer recommended that before I bring it in to change...

    Tohatsu 50 TLDI running rough

    I bought a 50 TLDI Tohatsu last January, ran it enough to break it in last spring and it recently has started running rough and missing at high speed. Called the dealer and he said to change the spark plugs first, change the gas ( I don't use ethanol gas) and double check the battery. He said...

    'Kicker' motor advice

    I need some advice: I've got a 1751 Polarcraft with a 50 hp. long shaft TLDI Nissan tiller motor that I use for the larger lakes here in Arkansas. However, most of my fishing is done on a smaller lake with a 10 hp. motor limit. My 'small lake' boat is powered by a 9.9 Nissan short shaft 4...

    Temp. of water pump exhaust?

    I recently got a 1988 9.9 evinrude, and had the carb. and water pump replaced before I even had it in the water. It runs ok, but the water pump stream seems a little weak, although adequate. However after running it to operating temp., the 'pee' stream feels really hot and the top of the...

    Kill switch fix for 1988 15 hp

    My 1982 15 hp Evinrude wouldn't start, and I discovered the button on the kill switch was broken off. I shorted the wires and now the motor run fine, except the only way to kill it is to choke it out. I was going to replace the button, but the only part I can find is the entire apparatus...

    When to reprime oil on tldi motors?

    I purchased a 50 hp Tohatsu tldi early last January. The dealer primed the motor and had it ready for use. Since it's been so cold and wet here, I haven't had a chance to run the motor at all. I hope to try it out sometime next week (3rd wk. of April). The owners manual says "When the engine...

    Increasing oil level on Nissan 9.8 hp

    I've got a 3 yr old Nissan 9.8 hp that's on our pontoon boat (9.9 hp limit on lake). I changed the oil about a year ago but didn't check it last year. When I did check it recently, before running it for the season, the dipstick showed over full. Also, the motor was really running rough. I...

    Ultra Tow hubs?

    Does anyone use Ultra Tow hubs on their small boat trailer? They've got a grease zerk in the back of the hub that lets you (so they say) repack the hubs without removing them. The grease runs through both bearings and out the front. If it works it would be easier than taking the hubs &...

    Battery charger repair

    I've got a Minn-Kota model MK110p portable battery charger that supposed to be 'automatic', but won't stop charging. Immediately after hooking the leads, the 'charging complete' light comes on and doesn't go off. Even after charging overnight the charging voltage reads about 16 volts. Does...

    Determing model of 9.9 Nissan by cover color

    I'm looking at a 9.9 Nissan motor on Craigslist, and the owner says he bought it used, but the model and serial no. plate is worn down so much that it's unreadable. It's a two-tone, with grey forward and a red stripe, then blue with the 9.9 logo on the blue background. I've got a 9.9 model C...

    Speed increase from Nissan 9.9 to 15 hp conversion?

    I've got a 9.9 hp Nissan 'C' model that I'm going to convert to 15 hp. by changing the throttle cam. I've got two questions: 1) Is changing the cam the only change I need to make, and 2) how much speed increase will I get from my 14 ft flatbottom. I'm presently going about 11-12 mph (meas. by...
