    Tohatsu MFS6B - Oil Pressure Light illuminated dimly

    I have an MFS6B Sail Pro motor and it's run well all season. Last night we motored over to a restaurant and left after dark. I started the motor and the oil pressure light came on brightly for a few seconds and went off which I believe is normal. However, it didn't really go "off" it remained...

    Tohatsu MFS6B - Running the carb dry at the end of the day

    I've been doing as I've been told and running my carb dry at the end of the day, every day. My question is this: What's the right procedure? Do I just let it run until it stalls? I've actually played with the choke a bit as it gets close to stalling. I can keep it going a little longer and...

    Tohatsu MFS6B Cooling Water Leak

    I have a 2010 Tohatsu MFS6B long shaft motor. After recenly completing a carb rebuild I had it idling in a large bucket of water and I noticed some water leaking out on of the joints on above the lower unit. The telltale stream is stong. The water leaking at that joint was hot compared to the...

    2010 Tohatsu MFS6B Carb Rebuild

    I have a 2010 Tohatsu MFS6B. I pulled the carburetor for cleaning and found the float bowl full of what looked like sawdust? Not sure where this came from or exactly what it is (I doubt it's actually sawdust). I've attached a picture, and I'd love to hear what people think this might be...
