    Tohatsu 40C Problems

    I recently bought a used Tohatsu 40C and at first thought the engine was no good. I brought it into a mechanic/Nissan dealer who said that the spark and compression were excellent and he thought it was worth some fixing up. He got her running real nice except that I noticed some surging...

    Evinrude 40 Surging

    I have a '94 Evinrude 40 that I've owned for about 7 years. It has never been reliable and a few years ago a mechanic convinced me to disconnect and stop using the oil injection system, which I did. <br /><br />My current problem is that she starts and runs fine until I try to accelerate onto a...
