Hello,
I have an old blue Tohatsu M40C 361A outboard that I feel is perfect for my boat. I've had the engine for 10 year but the boat has been sitting for 5 years.
I started the engine but it was leaking fuel from the carburetor. I was thinking about cleaning the carb but was wondering should I replace some parts and are there even parts available for this? I can find online plenty of parts for Tohatsu M40C and the japanese website has everything but that is for M40C from the 2000s with 3 cylinders I believe.
Any suggestions on what maintenance I should do? I was thinking about replacing the carb but no idea if it is worth the price and effort + if I can get new parts.
