    Removing carb from Tohatsu MFS 20C

    Knowing what to do (or what you should do) and doing it are two different things. Plato thought that "To know the good is to do the good." But he was wrong. :rolleyes:

    Removing carb from Tohatsu MFS 20C

    Thanks. That makes me feel a little less stupid. It's exactly what happened in my case. 😂🙄

    Removing carb from Tohatsu MFS 20C

    I do that with my 2-cycle small engines. And for our (4-cycle) log splitter I do it if I know it's going to sit for more than a couple of weeks. But I think I do need to be doing it with the (4-cycle) boat motor since our schedule for using it is so sporadic. It's not a big deal and takes...

    Removing carb from Tohatsu MFS 20C

    Yeah, I've become much more careful with my small engines in my old age, and it's like magic -- if you don't let them sit with fuel in them, then they'll start for you!! Who would have thought? Took me a couple of decades to learn my lesson. I just took a look at the boat motor and I see...

    Removing carb from Tohatsu MFS 20C

    I need to pull the carb off this motor of mine to clean it. Seems pretty straightforward, but I can't see how to get a wrench on one of the bolts. There are two long bolts that go through the base of the plastic air intake and then through the carb body. The outer one is easily accessible...
