    Tohatsu 2012 15 Hp Floods

    No haven't figured it out, but runs better without demand valve in fuel line. Still flooding or calling for too much gas. Fuel pump? it's getting gas all the way to throttle body or carburetor still not sure if fuel injected or not (I feel Stupid) best part is it runs best after you disconnect...

    I tried again today, pushed the button down on the Fuel demand valve, it didn't reseat and the same thing happened , too much gas. Going to try without. Cut it out of the fuel line and use a coupler with vented gas cap see if there is any difference. I'll let you know. Thanks for replies so far

    Tohatsu 2012 15 Hp Floods

    I'm sure you're right, I do not know enough about this engine yet. eFI in an outboard is new to me. It does look like a carburetor Just trying to make sure it's not a electrical problem as far as like a sensor or whatever controls the gas and mixture, getting it to idle, but when get warm it's...

    It's fuel injected with EFI, but has a carburetor. None the less, We think we figured it out with the Fuel demand valve on the fuel line. Pictured. Read up on it seems they are having problems and people are just cutting them out and getting fuel tanks with vents

    Tohatsu 2012 15 Hp Floods

    Tomorrow I'm going to try both ways, bypass and push the tab down in the center to see if it reseats itself, my gas can in vented so don't know if I need it or not. On different forums it's about half and half, For it and against. but if any one has any other input I will certainly take it

    Tohatsu 2012 15 Hp Floods

    So I narrowed it down, it idles when I take fuel line off. Runs a little rough and have to give a little throttle. As soon as I put fuel line back on it floods and stalls. Are fuel injectors bad? Can I put my old fuel tank with the old connector on? Why is engine drawing too much gas. Please...

    Hey, engine starts, but won’t idle. Its flooding fast. Can it be gas tank?, the original has quik connect. Or if carb issue does the intake filtercome off alone or whole carb come off? What should I do? Any ideas?

    Is this a good engine?

    So I got the guy down to $950 we got it started but it was very hard idol and we couldn’t get it back started. He said it hasn’t run in quite a while so I don’t know if somethings stuck in the carburetor varnish or bad gas needs to be flushed out but we tried to start it was good gas. Any ideas?

    I will adjust points, but what does it mean that I am getting spark, even if not good? does it mean Coil and condenser is good?

    I think because part that went in plug boot was loose or adjustment with points, and fuel pumped. I think a fuel delivery problem in the Carb somewhere. I will soak it paint thinner to remove any varnish and replace metal caps this time. Any other input will be welcomed

    compression 119 both cylinders, spark 1/4” not consistent, maybe adjust points and fuel was pumping. My thoughts fuel delivery thro carb

    Thanks so much for responding almost at wits end. It has to be something stupid. Yes I totally rebuilt carb and the jet speed gasket (red w/tab) except the metal caps and jet screw underneath bolt. You need special screwdriver I think. Also I did not soak overnight. Waiting for 2nd rebuild kit...

    Sorry, I haven’t done anything since last weekend, rain and Baseball games. Yes Carb was taken apart and rebuilt It looked clean. I replaced only one cap and didn’t soak it overnight. The motor ran before I ripped it apart, so I didn’t think I needed to go coo coo. Im in North Brunswick, NJ ...

    1971 18HP Evinrude Fastwin

    Ok I will try that with the fuel pump. I will measure spark also with a tester. either I will buy one or make one. I just say "Dry sounding" because it just sounds like it's not getting gas, it kicks once in while but will not catch and run. Also reattaching the the carb I forgot to hook up the...

    Tried again today, took apart Carb (was rebuilt, I didn't do the little caps though) but overall it looked fine, It ran before I did all this work over the winter so I can't imagine what I did wrong. blew it out again. Still no start sounded dry like not getting gas. Could it still be carb...
