How To Fix An Outboard That Is Hard To Start
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
- If your outboard motor doesn’t start on the first or second pull, then it needs a little tweaking. This engine works great once it starts but it takes too many pulls to get it started. Anything past 4 pulls is unacceptable.
In this video, I am running a Nissan outboard motor that is manufactured by Tohatsu, Japan’s oldest outboard manufacturer. Tohatsu produces high quality and extremely durable outboard motors.
Have you done your annual tune up? Every year before you take your outboard out, you need to check all the basics including carburetor adjustments, choke, idle, spark plugs, fresh fuel, etc. Stay tuned for more outboard repair videos.

Steve's Small Engine Saloon Hey quick question. I’ve been working on a 1989 Mercury 2.2 and am having trouble. I have cleaned every aspect of it including the carburetor. Each time I take the carburetor apart and put it back on, the engine will run beautifully for about 30 mins then will randomly shut off and not start again. Then, when I take the carburetor apart and put it back on same thing happens. Any suggestions as to why it stops working after a while and needs to have the carburetor played with each time?
I respect any man who measures time in beers! Thanks for the videos. I own a few small engines that I can fix now
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Hi Steve I have a 1989 20 hp long shaft outboard Johnson motor runs great but it takes 2 men and a boy to pull the cord . Is there any thing I can do to make it pull over easer ?
@@DANIEL2423able oil down the plug hole
Ya know , The best thing about fixing a small engine is the "Adrenalin" felling you get before you pull that rope. And then it starts!!!!!!!! such great satisfaction.
Awesome video Steve
Thank You...
Yeah, man!
I did that yesterday starting my pony motor on my cat d4. One pull start while the past two weeks I needed to use the 12 volt electric start motor for the pony.
bumbl besss agreed
Love your videos! I’ve messed with a few carbs the last couple months and learned a few lessons on my own and from you. The biggest lesson is don’t be afraid to take a carb off! For YEARS I didn’t do it because I thought it would magically be thrown out of adjustment. Troubleshoot down to a carb issue. TAKE IT OFF! CLEAN IT!
My issue is I need new gaskets probably
I love you Steve ....your actually saving lives with this one.... not just money! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
I love this guy as my grandmother. They both taught me great lessons.!
Very cool
Steve, I just want to say thanks . Thanks, you are my hero, my mentor. You have allowed me to take care of my family, and I could never thank you enough. My dream is to meet you one day I am not so skilfully with computers, but I still learning been watching your videos for over three years now and still find you very humble and inspirational just know people around the world lo e you
WOW! Thank You...
Steve I am 73 years old I started a small engine business and you are a life saver God bless you brother,
Thank You...
Steve you are the man! You'll NEVER end up like Gilligan did!
Thank You...
I have an old '65 Johnson 9-1/2 HP Seahorse. I put a carb kit in, points and condensers, and an aftermarket fuel pump-the original is out of production. As long as I don't flood it during the priming stage, it'll start first or second pull. I love that old outboard. I also started using non-ethanol fuel in all my small engines on the advice of a friend. It has made a difference in how they run, or at least I think so. Thanks for all you do.
The A Team....I love it when a plan comes together......Thumbs up.
Thank You...
Steve, you are absolutely awesome and I have learned a ton of stuff from your videos. I bought one of those rotary tips for my power washer and it's amazing. I am very pleased. I also just scarfed up another power washer, used but reconditioned and tuned up...a deal at Lowes (only happened upon an easy talk with a manager-thumbs up to Lowes). The power washer has a Honda motor and came with a new gun, extension and hose. I will fire it up tomorrow and check on the engine and pump. I got it at such a good deal, I couldn't pass it up...already have 2 power washers. I can keep them at a couple places and don't have to lug them back and forth. Your videos have given me the confidence to buy this, knowing I can fix any problem that arises, thanks to you.
You're Welcome...
Outboards that will not start are nearly always fuel problems. Junk in gas, lines, tanks and other sources always need filtering. I learned this a long time ago to filter out water and debris with an clear in line filter before the engine. Sure makes starting a lot easier. Great video....A Modelo especial moment.
Thanks Steve, you have given me the confidence to have a go at fixing a few problems with my garden tools. Particularly the carburettor issues. Thanks again...
You're Welcome...
Love your vids! I have that exact same engine! Yes, it usually starts by 2nd pull when properly prepped up by pumping bulb up, full choke and and all that. Being a one lung, it is a noisey rattle trap, but it is reliable. Also, if you don't expect to use motor for a few weeks or longer, disconnect fuel hose and run until it dies out. Choke it and start again till it dies. I've never had my carb off yet.
I have a 2002 NSF5A but it's a 5 hp. Basically same thing. I just resurrected it after its sat idle for about 12 years. Thats a really good tip. Do you recommend anything specific for getting this thing back into and useable condition?
I have a 6 hp 4 stroke mercury. It is the complete same engine and it is noisy as shit and shakes a lot but it is dependeble as hell and just keep going day long 👌
I cleaned my old Honda 9.9 according to your other video and it went from a non-idling, stalling piece of crap to a fine tuned outboard. And my buddy has a 15 Yamaha that starts super hard, 10 pulls minimum, and I am gonna do his this weekend.
You also recently saved me a lot of tinkering on my FS200 Stihl brush saw with that spark arrester business.
Thanks for the content! If you were closer I'd buy you a case of fine Canadian beer.
You're Welcome...

Well, so much for good intentions. My buddy's outboard is a 2017 carbureted 15 HP 4-stroke. Somewhere along the way Yamaha decided it would be a good idea to do away with the manual choke for these motors and built a system called Prime Start. Apparently this thing is supposed to inject more fuel into the system instead of closing off air, So I started surfing the Yammie forums and found a LOT of people who have had problems with this system and there was no easy remedy anywhere that I could find except returning the unit to a dealer so they could pull out the parts cannon.
Technology is great, but it should be refined before release into a popular platform. My old (around 1986) Honda carb was a breeze to clean and starts on the first or second pull every time using the proven manual choke.
With the Yamaha, I’ve read people take cowl off and put free hand over air inlet to simulate a conventional choke and pull. Once started and warmed, no more problems for the day. Why did they mess with simple system that worked???
When I have any issues with any of my lawn equipment you've been my first go to source and have help me save a pretty penny for myself and my brother, thanks Steve for all the great info and keep up the great work!
You're Welcome...
Tried this on my 1970 Johnson 15 horse which was taking 7 to 10 pulls to start. After the clean out, it starts on the first pull. Thanks for saving my arm.
You're Welcome...
Love it when it all works the first time Steve, enjoy the surf. -Eric.
Thank You...
You are the master. Can't beat knowledge and experience
Thank You...
Never as amazed as watching you do your magic, once again well done Steve !! Thank you for all you do!
You're Welcome...
Great video of explaining the problem.
Thank You...
Thank you Steve, I'm pulling my carb tomorrow.... same issues!
Good luck!
Keeping it simple. I love it. And no matter how you look at it they gotta be cleaned. Thank you
You're Welcome...
There I was in the belly of the great white whale (with my boat) and it had to start... thanks to Steve it started and I lived to tell this tale! Good video. I might have expected the low speed jet. I learned something. Thanks
Right on Buddy! You're Welcome...
Steve,
I'm getting not only smarter but really excited watching your videos. The simplest practices make all the difference. Keep it clean and it stays mean. Nice
Thank You...
The look of satisfaction on your face once it starts, is priceless!👍🍾
You got that right!
Great job Steve, little PM and a quick clean makes a difference. Thanks for sharing
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
I have that same motor. '03. And 4 others. 2 strokes and 4 stokes. I run them every 6 mos. with a shot of seafoam. 'Keeps em happy.
You make repair work look too easy...Thanks Steve !
You're Welcome...
im going to try this tomorrow! will tell you if it worked for me! Thanks for taking the fear away about taking off the carb.
Good luck!
Thanks man!!! It worked! I took my boat out for the first time yesterday and had a blast! Thanks for the good video!
I like your style of teaching....one thing at a time ....helps me get a handle on the "unknowns" of carbs.
Thank You...
Great fast fix. I was thinking dirty plug . it runs so smooth i never thought of the carb. Well done.
Thank You...
Steve!
Ya did it again!!!!
The main jet did need a cleaning as you demonstrated. That drill bit seemed to not want to go in.
You're right on target, as usual!!!
GREAT!
Now you can head for the open sea!!!!!!
WoooooHoooo... Here we go...
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon woo hoo! Time to board the boat, weigh anchor and set sail...
I have no small engines to repair, but this guy is cool.
Right on Stan...
Fixed the carb on my Toro snowblower the same way. Cleaned that one jet, starts/runs great. Thanks for sharing that tip. 🇨🇦👍🏼
You're Welcome...
Thank you, I have been dealing with this same engine but 8hp and getting stranded on the water having to use the trolling motor to get back to the ramp. And a double thumbs up for the busch!!! Good man!
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Great job, steve....thanks for the knowledge on a Nissan motor.....just bought a 9.9 (1988) model....been sitting up in storage for about 6 years....
That is awesome!
The easy ones are the best. Thanks for taking the time to share. Cheers!
You're Welcome...
Just like I tell everybody Stevens you the man I seen a lot of the guys work but you were just pure good
Thank You...
Great video Steve my buddy has a 3.5 mercury outboard 4 stroke very hard to start but it runs perfect when it do start so I will tell him to clean the carburetor thanks so much. 👍
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Steve thank you and your wife, again... For the fix on the B&S plastic carb jet fix
You're Welcome...
Steve the small engine Magician.
Great Job
Thank You...
Yes indeed, great job
Thank You...
Loved it. Yes, the satisfaction of a plan coming together is a beautiful feeling. As a Oregonian coastal dweller I recognize the value of an outboard that starts on the first pull. Keep up the good work my friend. Spent last week in Nova Scotia...
Right on Bob...
funny how sometimes the fix can be so simple. Just wish it was always that way. thanks for sharing.
You're Welcome...
I use oxy welding tip cleaners for carby jet cleaning. Works a treat and doesn’t cause any damage.
Well done, I’m puttering with a Johnson 9.9 hp 1968 that’s hard to pull start
Always learn something watching your videos. Tanks
You're Welcome...
Thanks a lot you help me out big time my outboard was very hard to start and the main jet was block up
You're Welcome...
Quick and simple...love it Steve!
Thank You...
Thank you for this wonderful video, it really helps a lot, we have had problem with our rescue boat engine onboard ship
Glad it helped
Ok...I'm impressed,very good.
Right on Buddy..
Nice job Steve. I think you did a wise thing by doing a minor clean. I've done that on a couple that ran well but started hard. It works for me.
Right on Mark...
Great stuff Steve - gonna try this on my Yamaha 15HP that is giving me grief. Thanks from NZ!
Good luck!
Great video Steve. This has happened to me more often than an easy starting engine.
Have a great trip.
Thank You...
Thanks for sharing Steve, it's amazing what just a little bit of dirt can do to a carburetor!
You're Welcome...
You are always so lucky I love it I wish my projects were like that
You’re the man Steve !
Thank You...
I had to do the same to my mower engine today. good info.
Right on Tom...
Glorious victory! Have a nice boat ride Steve.
Thank You...
Always good stuff from you Steve. You've helped me immensely with various issues on my outboard. Priceless information and Greatly appreciated. Keep up the excellent work and great content
Great to hear!
The A-team reference! This guys rules!
Thank You...
Perfect example for the wisdom in Maintenance.
u go steve, I have the same problem with my merc. 25 hp. have to try it.
Steve, keep the videos coming. Thanks again!!
More to come!
I was cheering ya on and spilled my beer brother! Great video! Can’t believe it was that simple!!
Right on
Txs for video. What I did: Take carb out. Open bowl. Remove jet and let it all soak in White Spirit overnight. Reassemble and bingo.
Awesome. Simple, to the point. No Bullshit.
Keep it up Brother
Thank You...
You should get a torch tip cleaner set. You can get them from any welding supply store or Amazon. It is a set of thin round stainless steel files that are made for cleaning cutting and welding torch tips. Get the 5" set and you will be able to reach places you can't reach with a little drill bit.
I would love to see some more outboard videos
Nice watch your videos all the time in Michigan
Thank You...
Good job Steve , enjoy the boat ride !
Thank You...
I want all my small engines to start on 1 or 2 pulls, and if it goes over three, I'm troubleshooting. Great tip on cleaning the main jet instead of doing a total rebuild or buying a carb. Cheers
Thank You...
Nice ! I also used your advice to clean out the jet on my mower worked like a charm first pull. Thank you so much love your vids. And oh ya the beer helps too. Thumbs up 👍

Thanks Steve! I'm still in the world of two strokes, but it's good to know about 4's since I'll have to switch soon.
As a complete moron in motoring, managed to turn two discarded chainsaws to a working one, based on information from your channel. Great job! My only complain is that you kind of screwed my weekend by making me watch your videos for 10 straight hours.
LOL! Sorry about that...
