Hi,
I have a 2003 Tohatsu M9.8B 2 stroke engine, short shaft, and I wish to convert it to a 15HP engine. I am aware some folks have had success with other models by simply changing the carburetor. Is it that simple with this model? Can anyone help me with this?
Upon further reading I have found a throttle advance cam change will solve my challenge - is that correct?
Here is the part link: http://www.internetoutboards.com/partdetail.asp?id=505
</start invitation for user abuse>And for the non-engineer - what does a throttle advance cam do? I get why the 15HP Carb would improve performance - but if I don't have to change the carb - then all the better. </end inviation for user abuse>
Finally, can anyone share perfomance improvement stories or a quick list of other engine checks I should be performing to max performance?
Many Thanks,
Doug
