Update: The fuel pump looked exactly like the one I have on my 2016 Tohatsu, so I bolted it on, and it runs and starts like a charm.
This older motor will need some updates, as I can see it has been tinkered with, missing gaskets and what not.
(carb was mounted with a single gasket and the...
Motor won't stay running more than 10 seconds.
Mercury four stroke 2003, 4hp, european sold, Serial nr: 0P228224 (Barely readable on sticker and block sticker)
Cleaned the carb and checked float and needle. Pull start got on my nerves, so I used my cordless drill.
It starts after I have primed...
I don't get any reply in Tohatsu thread, but I might aswell try here.
(This forum has some downsides for us who live in Europe, it gets unresponsive at times)
I read through other threads about the carb conversion, and user (technician) "pvanv" recommends the "MFS6A2"-carb over the...
I'm adding a cheap GPS-tracker for the outboard. With 500 mah backup
Where can I find positive and ground(-) under the hood of my Tohatsu MFS30 2015 (European)
The motor has battery continuous.
Thanks in advance.
At full throttle (or even at 2/3- cruising on plane) my motor has a tendency to intermittenly 'drop off'
Hard to explain, feels like fuel starvation.
It sort of 'alternates' between pushing hard, and dropping off for half a second, then pushing again for like 5 seconds and so on...
I have...
Yes it has the trim/tilt.
And I'll just copy the wires going to the existing button in the 'bottom cowl' of the multitiller.
Perhaps I try to make room for that type of button, or Ill make a little 'housing' for it in thin sheet metal. It'll be fine.
Thanks.
I have 'arthritis' in my right shoulder that really isn't working with reaching over to trim the motor while getting on plane.
Could it be possible to add a 3-way-switch, non locking, by jump solder some wires from the existing assy below throttle on the tiller handle?
And somehow fit such...
I'm back for the 'annual' visit.
Pulled the 3 sparkplugs for 3 new as part of 'pre season' oils and lube of the 2015 MFS 30 4-stroke european version
Cylinder 3 (lowest of cyl) had a 'gunky' sparkplug, perhaps one can make note of that for future?
Reason?
The motor runs fine, has no issues...
Yes. But I'm glad I got a bargain on the motor in the first place. Found this on "faria marine gauges": at red arrows it says that number of pulses is half the number of poles on alternator. So I will set this at "6p" = 6 pulses per revolution. Guess my way through the Grey = sender/pulse, Black...
Hey gurus. How do I wire the 'cheap universal tach' to the original (european) tohatsu wires coming out of the remote? Color to which color? Is my motor using 6c setting on tach? (Figure I can ask, but also test later on)
Thanks in advance.
So, I've been fortunate to find an almost brand new motor, in europe were I reside. This one was sold without any generator (12v 10A) and now I'm looking for advice on fitting one myself.
I have a small motorcycle battery in the boat for my fishfinder (12v 12Ah) and would love to mount it...
I had troubles starting my df15 from 2007, but it runs great when warm, so I wanted to check autochoke.
Did like in some youtubevideos, added 12volt current from a battery, and the choke opened about 4 millimeters in ~5 minutes. It works.
Cleaned it and used some wd-40 and mounted it back...
