Tohatsu 15 HP 2018

[Guidance1]

Greetings to all!

I have a 2018 Tohatsu 15HP Elec Start -- very few hours and it has been sitting for several months.
It cranks but no fire = no start.
It seems strange, any ideas - fresh gas

Where's the best place to obtain a service manual? -- This isn't my 68 20 Johnson

If it has a carb, it's more than likely gummed up. When you are ready to put your engine away for any length of time, it is extremely important to run all of the gas out of the carb, prior to storage. The trick is to remove the fuel line while the engine is running, and press in on the air valve, located on the fuel inlet stem, until the motor dies.

You can order a service manual directly from the Tohatsu site.

Tohatsu does not sell direct to consumers. Any dealer can sell you a manual. What is your actual model? The 2018 E version is EFI, but earlier versions have carburetors. And as Bob noted, they will crud up if left for over a week with fuel in them.

Hey Paul -- it's a 2018 MFS 15E with EFI and elec start. I pulled a plug and tested for fire which it's getting. It must be fuel related and it's getting fuel to the vapor separator. What can I try next? curious about the vertical stem which has a valve stem on it which has a cap on it like for filling a tire.

That schrader valve is for testing fuel pressure..I sent you a PM about the manual.

After tracing the fuel lines down, It seems I'm not getting fuel to the injectors -- I keep searching

 

[pvanv]

Your FFP may be stuck or not getting power. It's a 3-phase motor; the plug to it should have about 12v on each phase.

Hi Paul -- there is no pressure at that valve. So it must be at the component before the injectors. Is it the fuel pump that feeds to that valve?

 

[pvanv]

Yes. Fuel Feed Pump. Inside the vapor separator. Is it getting power?
