Hey guys, I'm new here and new to outboard repairs. I recently purchased a 2006 Tohatsu md40b tldi outboard. It's an oil injected 2 stroke.
The motor starts flawlessly every time. The issue I'm having is I keep getting the triple lights flashing on the console immediatly on start up. This occurs even after I do the reset where you turn the key, pull the safety key after the beep, then pull on the safety kill button twice, once every 7 seconds.
While the lights are flashing, with muffs on, it runs perfectly gets up to rpm no problem. But in the water it will run extremely rough and the rpms dont get past 2000 or so, and the boat moves at an idling pace.
I've replaced the fuel line, replaced the batteries running the recommended cca, replaced the plugs, cleaned out the fuel filter, bleed the oil pump.
So, I'm not totally sure what I should try now. I live in a small town in the alaska Bush with no access to a certified tohatsu mechanic.
Also, the previous owners had the wrong prop on it, and it was pretty wiggly. I've replaced the prop and it fits well and there is no shake to it. Could the old prop have damaged something?
Thanks for your time.
