10 year old motor. ran well for years but started poor idle last year about half way thru the season. Had it serviced by a 'licensed' Nissan Dealer last winter and cannot get it to run at all. Simply wont start. It does backfire and sometimes will 'soft fire' but only 2 or 3 times and then nothing. Dealer is no longer handling Nissan and subs out his other outboard work.
Another Marine Repair shop checked it out and said Carb is good and ignition system is good. Low compression. They wouldnt even estimate the repair cost for me - just said the motor isnt worth it.
Given no local Nissan service shops, I am going to try and repair it myself.
any suggestions on where to start looking? Valves are the most obvious. Just dont know if this model is known for valve issues.
I have a thin, green Tohatsu/Nissan service manual ordered online. Original translation from the Japanese and very few pictures. Other recommendations with more pictures etc.?
Appreciate all the expertise here. I will need it!!
thanks
