nissan 5hp outboard motor 

I cannot thank you enough I had problems with my motors idle and it would die as soon as I switched it in gear when I asked for advise people either didnt know how to work on a Nissan or wouldn't even attempt it but following the carb cleaning in this video my motor runs 100% better thank you so much I can actually take my boat on the water now

Thanks noshoes. My Mercury 2 hp is only 1 year old and I'm having the same issue. I have the exact same carb on my motor so your video was a big help.

So glad to hear it helped Jesse. Mine still runs great after all these years and the times I have had out on the water are priceless. God bless you.

Thank you Mr. Noshoes I have the same outboard, your video really helped. Running much better now.

I just took the bolt out of one side of the manifold pipe going in the engine and loosened the other one, then slightly twisten the carb assembly to get at the carb mount screws. No tight spots then. Carb cleaner spray worked great, took 5 minutes, ran great.

Cool video. Look up the next size up engine, it might use the same carb, just bigger jets. Might be able to get a little more power for cheap...

when i first got my tohatsu 4hp i had a similar issue one of the times i went to take it out. few minutes in i felt quite foolish when i finally realized i forgot to switch the gas back to on board tank. i was surprised it even ran with the lever turned to the off/external position. gave us a good laugh though. but now its bout do for a cleaning. nice vid

Did cleaning the carburetor totally solve the problem? I am having a similar problem, and cleaning the carburetor helped, but it still doesn't run quite right. (It idles fine, and revs up fine in neutral, but when in gear it seems to not get enough gas at high speed.) I'm wondering if I need to clean/ repair the fuel pump too.

hello, nice video! I have a 5hp honda outboard

Thank you for sharibng your reference video. The motor exactly the same as tohatsu and mercury. Just the brand stickers change.

Thank you Sr your video really helped

you did good!! Good job!!!

Thanks man, your video helped.

Good video. I have a Nissan 9.8 that I run on my sailboat and I done this same process about 5 times already and soaked in real carb dip. I was not so lucky as my problem keeps returning which is, anything under half throttle and it quits on me and won't idle. I since then replaced the4 slow jet, fuel filter, both spark plugs, and bought a complete carb kit. Only thing left to replace now is the external fuel tank. Docking a cruiser sailboat in a marina slip over half throttle is not fun lol.

Hi ! My problem is with the idle.. it goes up.. (in rmp).. down.. and after a while it quits. If I remove the external tank line.. it will run without problems. I did a carb clean but not an overnighter. I've Just sprayed things with carb cleaner and compressed air. The bown was NASTY ! Did you cleaned the fuel pump ? Any ideas/comments are more than welcome. Luis :-)

love this video

Thank you for the help.

The only thing I noticed is that you are soaking the carburetor in the carb cleanear, but you have to be careful because that chemical can harm your seals any rubber, like the needle rubber tip it will expand, and will cause you problems.

Thanks!

And it I belive it has the same carburetor, and I also been having the same problems, my motor won't run like it should.

i need a cd unit for a 5hp tohatsu which is really a nissan

ha i new you lived in florida i live in ocala

you soak that carb overnight in carb cleaner and you can say goodbye to your bowl gasket and your needle valve tip under your float as the carb cleaner will eat them!!!

Run Non Ethanol gas, you won't have that problem anymore

sounds like you live in florida

I have cleaned twice and ran better, but I think I am missing some kind of adjusment!

Talk a bit faster that makes a shorter video

Maybe you can hel me!
