    Internal tank cracked on M5B.

    I'm looking at a near mint (91/92?) Tohatsu M5B (ser # 64114) that a guy in town has had in storage. However, on close inspection it apears that the threaded portion of the internal fuel tank opening (where cap screws down) is cracked. I'm figuring that there is no way to repair this but please...

    Need fuel pump rebuild kit for 8hp

    Ok, so I think I have the issue with my 99 8 hp mariner pegged. It's definatly fuel. If I spray fuel down the carb throat, it starts right up. Then when it wants to die (in 30-60 sec) squeezing the fuel line ball, revs it up again. Sounds like the fuel pump is shot ( or the float is sticking?)...

    90's 8 hp marinier spits gas , won't idle

    I have a late 90's vintage 8 hp Mariner that is hard starting, and once started, won't idle without the choke out. It also spits gas out the little hole on the side of the primer pump when you pull the primer knob. The motor will accelerate (no load) if bypass teh tiller and rotate the throttle...

    Converting 95' Suzuki DT-4 to 5hp?

    Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but several search's have dead ended me. I have what I think is a 95' vintage 4 hp Suzuki 2 stroke ( ser # 00402-653328) that runs great but is just a little shy of power needed to plane my 13' aluminum boat. I know some smaller outboards can be upgraded...

    ID'ing motor with no serial # tag?

    A bud has a 8 HP Mariner that is 2001 vintage. Unfortunatly, the ID/Serial # plate ( usually on the harness) is missing. (It doesn't look like it was scraped off, it's just gone.) Can the serial /part # of this motor be found anywhere else on the engine? I'm told that it's stamped on the freeze...

    Proper way to compression test 04 60hp

    I've been around outboards a long time but rarely tinker with anything newer than late 90's. My buddy is going to look at a boat this weekend that is wearing a 04, merc 60 hp 2 stroker. He'd like to do a compression test on it before commiting. I've done compression testing before on...

    Source for 67' pull start /parts

    While replacing points on my buddies mq-13 9.5hp Johnson, he noticed that the roll pin that keeps tension on the starter rewind spring was loose and falling out.

    Which fuel fitting?

    I reciently bought a late 90's DT4 outboard with and internal tank and external tank fitting. I'd like to set up an external tank/line to fit it. However, after 3 trips to 3 different/large marine stores, I can't find a fitting marked to fit the Suzuki. Is it a plain 3/8" female that I need? Is...

    Frozen trim pin on 6hp?

    I have an 87 Johnson 6 hp that runs great and looks good. The only issue with the motor is that the pin that goes through the one of the sets of 5 holes in the mounting yoke ( to adjust trim angle) is rusted in place . ( It was stored on a sailboat, at sea for a season.) . I've tried liquid...

    IDing Mariner motor

    Saw a late model 6 hp Mariner for sale that didn't have a factory ID tag on the yoke. The owner says he's had it since new and doesn't know where the tag went too. Is there a way to ID the serial # and/or year of a motor if the tag is missing? I'd like to have the#'s run to assure it's a legit...

    squeezing 5hp from a Dt-4?

    Hi, I reciently picked up a (little) used 96' Dt-4 4 hp, 2 stroke. GREAT little motor and really all I need ( for a 17' canoe) but if memory serves. I think it's nearly identical to the Dt-5 (5hp). I have to wonder how hard it would be /what's involvend in squeezing out theat extra 1 hp. Could...

    I have a sweet little 93 vintage johnson 4hp 2 stroke that I'd like to add an onboard tank too. ( As was an option when new). I realize I'll have to drill the cover but am thinking that the rest of the parts ( tank, cap , hoses, etc,) should bolt right on. I'm looking for a online source for...

    My buddy has had this 67' 9.5 ho Johnson for 20+ years but uses it only 1-3 times a year max. Last year, the Water pump quit on a outing but he thinks he shut it down ASAP /before any damage happened. Yet this year,( after a new WP was installed), the motor needs to be started at higher RPM...
