    Proper shutdown at end of day

    Been reading several posts here where people say to run the OB out of fuel at the end of the day. On my 2 stroke, is this still advisable? M40C. After reading many posts on the subject in other forums, it seems the general consensus for 2 strokes at least is NOT to run them out of fuel. By...

    Stop switch/lanyard

    Hey folks while out today I caught the safety lanyard and accidentally pulled while trolling along. The thing is, it took maybe 5 seconds or so to shut down. And this seems like about 4 seconds too long to me. Is this the norm for Nissan/Tohatsu engines? If not, is the switch something that...

    M40C link n sync

    Been going through my purchase and replacing various bits to get it in tip top condition with the help of the service manual and the fine folks from this forum. I was wonddering about the link and sync though. After reading the serv. manual, I still don't really have a good understanding of...

    Which tach?

    1993 M40C. Tried the Tiny tach, never could get it dialed in. Which tach do I need? Tiller, elec. start. Thanks!

    No longer available?

    Recently bought a 93 M40C. Runs great, with good compression and a strong tell tale, LU fluid was clear. Was a much needed upgrade from my Johnson 25. Here's the kicker. Did a bit of research prior to buying the motor, and the vast majority seemed positive. But, after digging deeper, I'm...

    1993 Tohatsu M40C Value

    Looking at a possible purchase of this motor, "looks" to be a good deal, of course I will run it before money changes hands. Also having some trouble finding specs on it, specifically weight. It's a short shaft, elec start, tiller. Thanks, Skidz

    Stainless and RPM's

    I know this has probably been asked before, but my searches did not reveal an answer. I'm running an aluminum prop right now, 10x13, and my rpm's are perfect at 5480-5520 WOT on my J/E 25. I would like to switch to stainless. Would this have any affect on my rpm's if I keep every thing the...

    H2O gauge, small OB

    Is it possible to install a water press. gauge on a smaller outboard? I have a 2000 25hp, TESSD, and I have been thinking of installing one, but I'm not sure how much trouble it would involve Thanks, Skidz

    Carb swap

    Hi everyone, I have a 2000 Johnson 25, #J25TESSD that I would like to get a little more out of if possible. I was hoping that a carb swap with a 30 might do the trick. I have looked various part numbers up, and it looks like a #0439377 carb would work no problem. The intake manifold is the...

    SD card maximum size?

    Just got a HB 898c si, and I was wondering what the maximum capacity is for the MMC/SD card. I cannot find it listed in the manual or the website. Thanks! Skidz

    Voltage regulator for FF

    Hey folks, I just got a HB 898si, that I'm using on a boat with a 2000 25 hp Johnson OB. This engine does not have voltage regulator. On my old fish finder, when running at WOT near the top of the rpm range, it would say 'voltage high'. I don't want that to be an issue with the new HB...

    midrange cough/sputter

    2000 25 horse 2 stroke, runs great at idle, easy to start and WOT is no problem. But, when I'm going about 1/3 to 1/2 throttle, it will cough/sneeze a bit. I've ran a tankful of seafoam through it, and it helped some, but didn't eliminate it. Doesn't matter if the motor is cold or warmed up...

    2000 Johnson 25 hp idle speed

    2000 Johnson, 25 hp 2 cylinder, model TESSD. Runs great all around, but the idle seems a bit high. Can't seem to find a source for the idle speed; it's not in the owners manual, and I can't find it in Clymers. Hoping someone might be able to give me a number. I have a Tinytach to match it up...

    Prop placement question

    I put this in the Johnson forum by mistake, thought maybe I should put it here instead.... Recently, I switched from a 3 blade 10x13 prop to a 4 blade 10x11. The reason was to get a better holeshot and bring the rpm's up closer to 5500. The 4 blade prop is a Solas 2213-102-11. My question is...

    Question on prop placement

    Recently, I switched from a 3 blade 10x13 prop to a 4 blade 10x11. The reason was to get a better holeshot and bring the rpm's up closer to 5500. The 4 blade prop is a Solas 2213-102-11. My question is, how close can the prop be to the skeg without it hitting it while running. The old 3...

    Help choosing a prop

    Hey folks, longtime reader, first time poster. I am trying to decide on which prop to buy, and I could use some advice. I have a 15/42 Duracraft semi-v flat bottom and a 2000 Johnson 25, 2 cylinder o/b. The o/b WOT specs at 4500-5500 rpm, and with my normal load I am turning right at...
