    Nissan 15hp NS15D2 Performance

    I have a 15hp Nissan 2-stroke outboard, NS15D2 that I am curious about doing some performance upgrades. First, I used to have an older 15hp Nissan outboard (2-stroke as well) that was a ROCKET ship... that motor was ridiculously powerful. This newer one I have acquired definitely does NOT cut...

    SX Outdrive always overfull??

    Kohler 4cz23 Genset hates me

    When I first bought my boat, the genset ran fine. But would turn itself off after about 10 minutes. No biggie, we would just time it to be done with whatever (coffee maker, microwave) by then. It wasnt that much of an inconvenience but I definitely noted its odd behavior. I changed the...

    Nissan 15hp 2 stroke Problems

    I bought a Nissan 15hp, model #NS15B2 a few months ago... been using it on my 10' inflatable. Lately when hot, the thing does not want to get up and go. It sputters and acts like its having fuel starvation or something. I changed the fuel filter, ran new gas through it, and have been using...
