Well I’m finally getting around to starting my new Tohatsu 6HP Sail Pro and am having issues. I’ve been talking with my boating buddy and am coming up dry.
Today it started on the very first pull. It ran for a minute or two, then when I was easing off the choke it died. I wasn’t able to restart it. So I waited an hour and got it started again, only for it to die a minute later.
Here is what I have done:
Added 12 oz of oil, then about 6 more ounces. I have it in neutral. Choke is out. Fuel line is connected and clicked into place. Fuel vent is open on the tank. I’ve primed the fuel bulb as tight as it will go. It is in a five gallon bucket and water was spitting out when it was running. I had a beer. I tried it again. I raised the fuel tank up so it is level with the motor. I checked the screw on the fuel thingy and when I unscrewed it, fuel came out, so I tightened it back up but not too tight. I started a glass of wine.
I’m at a loss. I will continue trying it every hour, since waiting seems to be the only thing that gets it going again. I’ve not tried whiskey or any kind of alcohol, maybe that’s my problem?
