    Tohatsu m8 2003 8hp jumps up and down

    I used a large magnet in the drained oil. It worked perfect on the river today. The plywood transom is rather soft. The clamps were tighten down as much as I could get it today. Not as strong as I used to be. Guess that was it. I haven't worked on these things for 3 years so it was a good...

    Tohatsu m8 2003 8hp jumps up and down

    No problems till now. Only 20 hours on it as far as I know. The transom board looks good. Maybe it is flexing. I put it in a tank without the prop and it shifted normally so it may shift only when running. Maybe I mismeasured the oil amount? Doubt it. Guess I will take it to the river & try it...

    Tohatsu m8 2003 8hp jumps up and down

    The motor ran normally the time before. This time when trying to accelerate above low speed or idle it would buck or jump up and down like the the prop was hitting bottom, yet it wasn't. I had a different motor that needed a new hub, but this seems different. The gear oil is good. Spun prop or...

    Can anyone identify this part for Evinrude E8RCOB 8hp 1985 motor?

    Not sure where this white piece came from. The black one goes in the bottom of the manual starter for comparison. I looked at all the parts diagrams and can't find it. I took off the manual starter, carburetor and manifold cover. It was in my parts box but could have come from something else but...

    Tohatsu M50D 50hp tilt trim pump

    The motor works but the pump doesn't. Can the pump be repaired? Can it come off separately from the motor? I tried to remove the entire unit with a hand help propane torch with no luck. It has been in salt water. I do have a bigger torch but am concerned about getting it too hot and damaging...

    Tohatsu M50D slow to pump water

    The water trickles out at idle and only about 1/3 to 1/2 the speed of OMC's. The impeller cup looks like new, but the plate it sits on has a slight hump in it where it covers a small cavity underneith that goes nowhere. Is that normal? I have a new impeller and figured I'd get new gaskets and a...

    1985 evinrude 8 hp won't accelerate smoothly

    It's a model E8RCOB and I put a new cam roller on it so it should operate smoothly, but.... it accelerates smoothly till about 3/4 full and then gets rough. When opened a little more, it surges ahead in speed and operates smoothly again. What would cause this? Thanks.
