    Tohatsu 2008 9.8 HP 4 stroke carb adjustment

I had an older model Nissan which had the slow speed needle valve behind the brass plug for EPA reasons I...

Good spark and the motor started up and ran well, for a while anyway. Now again no spark. I again replaced this one with...

    Any magic for old dried cracking upholstery

    Title says it all. Purchased a nice older Nitro fish and ski. All is good but the upholstery will probably not last the summer. When I press hard on it it just cracks. Anything to soften it back up? I realize it is shot but before throwing out a few grand for new I thought I'd ask. .

    I apparently got it wrong. I resealed my lower unit and it is still leaking. Disappointing at least. Anyhow I have a pressure tester hooked to it while the lu is still attached to the motor and it is underwater. Bubbles are coming from the top hole of the four water intake hole which are on...

    I rebuilt the carbs on this motor according to the manual. The manual states the low speed adjustment on the throttle body should initially be set three turns off its seat. Are they saying three full 360 degrees off of its seat? Just asking because most carbs are 1 1/2 turns off their seat and...
