    4-6hp carb conversion

    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...

    MFS30C 2015 top end issue

    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...

    Adding tilt switch on MFS30 Big Tiller

    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...

    Decoding sparkplugs MFS30

    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...

    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.

    No current to auto-enricher/choke?

    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...

    DF15 '07 quick carb clean?

    Picked up a nice 15hp, that unfortunately has been sitting for a couple of years, it has both remote and tiller. Originally it was a remote. Tiller was added. Automatic choke and electric start. It was not easy to get it running, but it eventually ran for like 30 seconds on "pretty" high rpm...

    Throttle response slow 8hp

    When cold I can't move the throttle reasonably fast without stalling out the motor. It immediately dies. ("Cold" is after it runs without choke, maybe like 3 minutes into running) Is that common on honda? Any gesses what it is? When fully warm it's better but not fully OK, it is still very...
