    1997 C40MLA 2 stroke 4 cylinder primer system?

    Manual start with the little primer bulb for the carbs. The bulb won't pull gas up far enough to then send it back down to the carbs. The pickup tube sits about 2/3 full and when you depress the primer bulb it pushes all the gas back into the upper carb but when you let it go it only goes back...

    4 hp Tohatsu won't idle.

    MFS4A2D 2005 Starts easy and runs fine at high idle and up but won't idle down and stay there. I've had it several years and the carb always hates sitting around not being used whether I drain it or not it wants to be cleaned. Anyway, a week ago I went to run it at home and it wouldn't idle so...

    97 40hp Merc serial number isn't matching up with it's parts?

    This is my first Mercury so bear with me. SN is 0G449063 model is C40MLA 1997. Just bought it, runs great, etc. Previous owner said he never replaced water pump or impeller so I'm looking up parts using that model number and I get THIS parts list. Two obvious differences are the carbs (square...

    Impeller o-ring? question/confusion

    95 Johnson 48 Special. Do currently available impellers for this motor require an o-ring between itself and the impeller plate like OEM or is that o-ring no longer relevant? I'm replacing the water pump and ordered a kit. The OEM impeller has a recess on the bottom for an o-ring that sits on...

    What am I missing on this Tohatsu carb?

    4 horse Tohatsu. The hole in the first pic leaks a lot of gas when running. Is it supposed to have a brass plug like in the second pic? If so what's it called and how do I get one? Doesn't look like a Welch plug or at least what I'm used to. Haven't seen anything like that in carb repair kit.

    Need part # for 2010 Yamaha F60 water pump kit please.

    Preferably with the housing. Maybe a good source for it too. Can't match it up here on iboats and it's just a general pain to find it anywhere using my phone. Thanks for any help.

    I have power but almost nothing works. Need a little help.

    1998 22' Wellcraft CCF. Fresh batteries (even tried a second set to rule that out) but several things aren't working. I have 13 volts everywhere I've checked but pumps won't come on. Nor will the anchor windlass. Nav lights and the motor work but that's about it. The anchor windlass wiring and...

    2001 NS40D possible head gasket problem

    I see someone just covered something like this with a 25 but I've never opened one of these up so thought I'd start a new thread. Lost all power yesterday and ran rough. Didn't want to keep running but made it back to the dock. Pulled plugs and the bottom two have water on them and there is...

    Powerhead swap - 1999 Johnson 200 to 225

    1999 200 hp Johnson OceanPro model # J200PXEEN Would I be able to directly swap a 225 hp powerhead into this motor with no other changes? Just pull the 200 and drop in a complete 225 or are there other changes that would have to be made?

    Financial advice?

    If you had a decent amount of cash in a bank that has been reported to be the next to go under. Todays news is better than yesterdays however. What would you do? Take it out? Where would you put it. Another bank? Which one?

    Jack plate/set back with a jet outboard?

    Will the potential jack plate benefits you get with a prop be similar with a jet? I'm replacing my prop motor with jet and am trying to decide if I should just raise the transom or go with a jack plate.

    Why the price difference between Nissan & Tohatsu?

    Thought they were the same motor with different stickers. I'm looking at a 5 or 6 horse 4 stroke and the Nissan is $35 more. No big deal but now I'm curious. Nissan's have something more I'm not seeing?

    '93 Evinrude 55 horse military surplus motor

    Anybody know if there is anything out of the ordinary with these as compared to a non-military version? Is it the same as the 55 commercial? Any real differences at all? Any odd/hard to get parts? Any known performance issues? I'd love to upgrade to a 55 and one of these is currently fitting in...

    Calling all diesel fans.

    I recently bought a new, to me, '97 Ford F350 with the 7.3 complete with 165k miles. I did a lot of looking before I chose this one. Wasn't specifically looking for a diesel but this one was begging for me to buy it. Anyway, within a week of buying it I stuck my camper on it and my boat behind...

    Nissan carb teardown questions.

    2002 NS40D2<br />Pretty easy so far. Everything is off but what about the two brass pieces in the picture? No screwdriver slots and they don't just fall out. Are they supposed to come out or not? I got a manual but it has absolutely nothing to say about taking the carbs apart. Kind of...

    Nissan 40 coughing/sputtering

    2002 NS40D2. Starts and idles great. At maybe half throttle and up it will intermittently miss/cough/sputter. (how do you recreate sounds with a keyboard?) The problem first started as a small almost undetectable miss and over the next couple of trips it has gotten worse. It's definately more...
