I'm in a slight predicament. I have this (I'm assuming old) Tohatsu 18hp M18C engine that needs carb parts. From what I've been seeing this engine and its parts have been cut off? Is that right? I'm just wondering if i'll be engine hunting? I can provide any other information if needed. :)

The engine is at least 20 years old and carburetor parts are no longer available for it.

Yours is at least 26 years old...You can still get everything for it except carb parts and the engine electronics. But, at this point in it's life it would be kinder to sell or retire it rather than trying to keep it running.

You will want 003-21035-1, SERVICE MANUAL, 1 & 2 CYL, 2-STROKE, $45.00, available from any dealer, including several forum members... even me. As for carb parts, you will need to identify precisely what you need, and contact a few olde-timey dealers, to see whether they have anything on a dusty back shelf. Or take your chances at an olde-tyme NAPA store (with an olde-tyme parts person) and see whether they can match up something from another small-engine carb.

12. Please do not post to threads that have been inactive for more than 3 months UN-LESS you are the original poster. We have very active forums and any thread that remains inactive for that long should be considered "dead". It is especially confusing when there is an entirely new question posted to an old thread. This is considered a hijack. Please start a new thread of your own.
