    First Tohatsu motor 9.9HP

    Not sure what you mean, most of my motors have points (old boys). Can you clarify? Tnx. Also, if it is dead, is there any option to get something that can replace it?

    First Tohatsu motor 9.9HP

    I am back to this little guy and coil test showed required 0.3 Ohm on primary wiring and no continuity on both secondary wirings. This is kind of strange. So far all bad coils I saw had shortened wirings with no or very little resistance , but not "no continuity'. Am I doing it right? I am...

    Found this old thread. https://forums.iboats.com/threads/6hp-fisherman-need-help-with-cam-follower-adjustment-and-tiller-throttle-setting.578214/ Same motor, practically same issues. My Cam follower has the same dent. Ordered carb rebuild kit, so will post how it worked.

    1968 6 HP Evinrude need help

    I got one very neat tool from old welder to clean orifices from microscopic size to 1mm. Always use it. It is great. I have learned about this small side hole you are talking about on one of my od OMC motors the hard way. It was driving me crazy until I figured it. Now I always check for one...

    Just to clarify in case it did not sound well: I meant more experience than me. I am very amateur motor guy.

    1968 6 HP Evinrude need help

    I know what you are talking about. I cleaned carbs on newer motors that were packed with "kaka". But this carb looked clean and fresh when I opened it. I did carb cleaned , blow air , all the things ,but just as the routine. There was nothing visible to clean. As I said - very clean , well...

    1968 6 HP Evinrude need help

    1. Not sure about HS needle. Got it like that. 1967 Johnson has fixed HS jet. It will cost t about $30 to convert it back to fixed, do you think it is worth it? Or I can just keep HS needle closed. 2. I did not use spark tester , just took sparks out and observed the sparks. I just recalled...

    1968 6 HP Evinrude need help

    I only use non-ethanol gas for my outboards and it is fresh. I do have 1997 6HP Johnson (same motor really) that I restored years ago and it runs perfectly. So, I am familiar with this motors. I could try to swap carbs , but Johnson is a kicker on my pontoon now, so I do not want to mess with it...

    First Tohatsu motor 9.9HP

    Finally got the plugs and fuel connector. Gave a few pulls,: no signs of life. Pulled out sparks and grounded them, pulled cord - no sparks. Needs new coil? Boats.net shows them still available for $52. What else could it be? Still waiting on service manual to be delivered.

    First Tohatsu motor 9.9HP

    I got it very cheap because owner stripped one of the plug's thread and did not want to bother with it. I put thread inserts on two of my OMC motors, so I know how to fix it, but I do not think I have to do it because I run thread chaser on it and plug sits tight now. The compression is 140 and...
