    Nissan NS40D2 Carburetor?

    Just picked up this motor last week. It's a 1999 I'm cleaning the carbs right now and noticed the top carb throttle plate only opens up maybe 75% and evidently that's factory. If I bent that tab to make it open up fully would that give me more HP? Is this Nissan's way to restrict these motors...

    1963 Evinrude Mate 2 hp impeller

    Can these impellers still be purchased? I see aftermarket 2 hp impellers for OMC outboards built from 1967 and later. Nothing for earlier models. The closest I can get dimension wise is part # 0114812 which is about 3.5 MM smaller in total width then the original. That part # fits early 90's...

    1999 Johnson 25hp shift adjustment

    I have a 99' Johnson 25 hp with stick steer. When I shift the outboard into forward gear with the control box it will not pull the shift handle far enough to engage. I have the cable adjusted all the way in and it ain't enough. Neutral and reverse work fine with the control box. How do you make...

    Fuel primer bulb

    The fuel primer bulb keeps draining back into the tank. Every time I stop and fish I have to go to the back of the boat and squeeze the bulb firm so I can start the boat. I replaced the bulb with a new one and it does the same thing. The new bulb is an Attwood EPA type and for me to get it to...

    Mounting bunks directly to frame

    I have a trailer that a glass boat was sitting on and would like to use it for my 14' V-hull aluminum. The trailer had some type of fixed brackets for the bunk mounts and will not work for the tin boat. The width of the square tube frame is the right width to just bolt 2X4's or 2X6's flat...

    Just bought an aluminum bass boat and it is slow

    I just bought a 1997 Crestliner tournament 1750 aluminum bass boat. The boat is a tad over 17' long and is a v-hull. I think max HP is 140. It has a 1996 Johnson 4 cyl 115hp motor with a 14 x 19 aluminum prop. According to the web the hull weight of my boat weighs roughly 1150 pounds. I took it...

    Early 80's 25hp Tohatsu

    The motor is an early to mid 80's 25hp 2-stroke Tohatsu. The carburetor is squirting gas out of that plastic fuel fitting that the main fuel line connects to. If your facing the motor it sits on the right side of the carburetor. This plastic part appears to be pressed in the carb body. Is it...

    Suzuki years parts compatibility.

    I just recently bought a 1983 Suzuki DT40 tiller type motor with only pull start. I have a 1989 Suzuki DT30 (parts engine) with electric start and I was wondering if anyone knows if any of the parts are compatible? The flywheel on the DT40 will have to be changed out since there isn't any teeth...

    Prop for a 10' AVON RIB with a 35hp Evinrude

    The boat is a 1994 Avon inflatable with a fiberglass bottom, bench seat and steering wheel. The motor is a 1983 35hp Evinrude. The prop doesn't have any markings on it but I think its a 10x12. I just installed a tiny tach on it and at times it reads as high as 6100 rpm's. I need to lose 600...

    Concrete slab build up

    I need to level a concrete slab so I can install tiles. The slab in question was a porch so it has a slope to it. It's about 15' long and 8' wide. The slope goes from almost flush (next to an existing slab) and gradually drops about an inch. I plan on using self leveling cement for the topping...

I bought some cheap acrylic enamel automotive paint off ebay and already had some old Napa acrylic red oxide surface primer 15201. Since I have never did this before I have some questions on...

    How to affix hardibacker board to concrete?

    I recently bought an old house and would like to put down ceramic tile in the kitchen and dining area. The problem is that half the floor is the original 90 year old hardwood floor and the other half is concrete that I think used to be the back porch but was built into the house at one point. I...

    Hockey question

    I like hockey but I don't understand it. I caught the Olympic hockey game from the 3rd quarter on. At first Canada was pushing USA around and the puck was near our goal 80% of the time. Then with 15 minutes left USA took control and the puck was around their goal 80% of the time. Then in...

Some websites will have different font sizes then normal (usually smaller) One site looks like the computer is in safe mode when I visit it. I set the monitor's resolution at 600X800 and it...

    2 Batteries 1 Starter

    I just installed a starter on my 25hp Johnson. I want to run it off my trolling motor batteries that are wired together making 24 volts. Is it ok to run the starter leads to just one battery? The outboard doesn't have a charger so that's not an issue.

    HELP!!! I built a transom riser....Is it SAFE???

    First off excuse my nasty looking transom. I'm going to clean it up and paint it one of these days. What do you guys think? I used a transom off an old inflatable boat as the riser. It's 1" thick and it has the metal bracket in the front and a 1/4" piece of wood in the back to spread out the...

    80's Tohatsu parts

    Is there anyplace that sells used Tohatsu parts besides ebay? I busted the fuel pump housing on my 30hp and a new pump will cost me at least $70.00 with shipping. That is more then I paid for the motor itself. Will a fuel pump from another brand work?
