    Tohatsu oil consumption

    Just wondering how much oil a m90a two stroke should use per 20 litres of fuel. It gets varied rpm running so I know it wont be a solid figure but just wanted an idea if the oil pump is working properly or not. It has oil injection in the fuel line before the carb. So far it has used approx...

    Reuse a headgasket

    Would you reuse a headgasket that has been torqued down and run for 20 mins on a hose, then taken off?<br />I am guessing they are a one crush only?

    Tohatsu engine temperatures

    How hot/cold should a 3cylinder two stroke be at idle? At idle, mine hardly gets any heat into it at all. is this normal? I checked the plugs and two(top and bottom cylinder) have a kind of creamy water/oil type residue on them. Not good. When I put it together I had the block and head refaced...

    Dismantling steering

    I am trying to free up the steering on my 90 tohatsu. I have a bit of time on my hands at the moment so figured now was a good time!<br />I have removed power head, lower unit and mid section. I am stuck now as to how you separate the shaft itself. I know some motors (like suzukis) have a...

    Outboard steering connections

    I am looking to upgrade my steering to the type that screws onto and runs through the through tube on the outboard. Are the nuts on the cable end all the same size/thread? My engine is a 90 tohatsu.

    Faria Tacho

    I have a faria tacho on my 93 tohatsu 90hp.<br />I am having difficulty getting it to work properly. I have it on the correct pole setting but it reads randomly under about 3000rpms. It just sort of bounces around. Above 3000rpms it smooths out and reads what i think is about correct. Anyone had...

    Crazy Tohatsu tacho

    I bought a tohatsu tach for my 90hp. At lower rpm's, it reads all over the place. Once up and going (over 3000rpmish) it reads consistently. I have set it to the suggested pole setting. Does this sound like a pole problem or an interference problem? The booklet with it said with Tohatsu's...
