    Thanks, but this motor needs to be 100% operational for summer, plan adding double 2 stroke oil before starting it, a mandatory overdose of CRC will follow, this product softens about everything. Will post end results..... Happy Boating

What find strange : The motor has been run less that 200 hours, both cylinders outputs 100 PSI, when the motor is rope cranked there's a...

    Need info on Tohatsu M9.8A

    Don't know if the 9.8B2 impeller is compatible with a 9.8A impeller, tried to find info to check that out but that model is quite obsolete and not listed nowhere as to compare both. What's the current impeller condition ? If the vanes springs back near or horizontal when out of the liner it's...

    Two Trolling motor on one Inflatable boat

    To my understanding It's not clear if the OP wants to deal with dual electric or gasoline motors for trolling purposes which is done at very slow speed, OTOH wants to increase the speed of his inflatable for what purpose ? Trolling and speeding with 2 strokes motors opposes each other. Will foul...

    Need info on Tohatsu M9.8A

    Dissasemble the carb, clean jets, nozzle, micropolish the float valve seat. If all rubber parts are still in good working shape try to start the motor, assume the motor doesn't count with a fuel hose in which case will need to get any fuel hose with a primer bulb remove both connector ends...

    Two Trolling motor on one Inflatable boat

    2 motors working side to side will not double the speed, will gain just slight more top end speed, but will double the torque. 2 strokes motors although are lighter than same 4 strokes counterparts are not the way to go for throlling, due to the reduced speed for such work will end fouling the...

    nissan 9.9 throttle arm w/roller

    Can you post a pic of the entire arm to check where it's broken. Is it possible to fix it with a 2 part epoxy cement ? The roller rests on a pin which has a small head that secures it onto the pin. Try to wiggle it sideways and upwards while pulling it out, should come off. Old throttle arms...

    Tohatsu 3.5B2 Tiller Throttle Conversion

    Some comments : Liked very much the second posted link mod with attached larger one piece tiller tube instead of extending the original tiller with an aditional tube. If the motor is not run with the swivel bracket well greased and the load turned to bare minimum the tiller will flex as its...

    New NGK BR8HS plugs improve overall performance

    According to my own experience with such spark plug type is that if you don't run the motor at constant 3/4 to full throttle operation will end fouling the plugs. These plugs are not intended for long trolling purposes as will never self clean themselves which happens above 500 C... Happy Boating

    Swim/Emergency Ladders

    Better will be to tie a 1/2-3/4 " belt from right tube ear line (1) to the left one with a belt loop on (2) as to distribute much better the boater's stand up weight, pull and climb force exercised to get on board with a foot loop at the end of the belt. As currently installed, both displayed...
