    The impeller discharge from my Yamaha 4hp 4 stroke is a steady rough stream but it gets very hot - almost too hot to touch. New impeller and housing kit was just put in a day after I acquired the motor so I know the impeller is fine plus there is a steady albeit rough stream. Im concerned...

    My Tohatsu 3.5HP 4 Stroke (year 2008) starts in FWD gear. It is my understanding that these engines will only start in neutral. Should I be concerned? My mechanic also told me I have water in the lower part of the unit but he didnt say what was causing this. His estimate to research and fix...

    New Carb for Yamaha 4HP 4 Stroke F4MSHY instal advice please

    I have a used Yahmaha 4HP 4 stroke that I just acquired. It is a Year 2000 model. It has low hours on it but it was idling very roughly and initially it would only run continually with the choke open.

    Tohatsu 6HP 4 Stroke (year 2011) won't always stay in reverse.

    My Tohatsu 6HP 4 Stroke (year 2011) won't always stay in reverse. This only happens when the motor is under a load - it doesn't happen when I run it in a bucket. It happens only sometimes so it hasn't been a real concern for me but I know it isn't normal. When it happens I just put it back into...

    Need to slow down my Tohatsu 6HP...?

    Hi, I have a 2011 Tohatsu 6HP. Idling is adjusted to run as slow as possible without stalling when changing into fwd or reverse gear. Problem is that it trolls too fast for the type of fishing I often do. I know I can throw a bucket overboard and use that as a slowing mechansism but is there...

    Tohatsu 6HP warm start issues...

    I purchased my first Outboard recently-its a Tohatsu 6hp 4 Stroke (year 2011) with an external tank only. I have had an issue with it that I hope I can get some guidance on: The person I purchased it from told me he hadn't been very disciplined about keeping the carb clean - he didn't always...
