Hi From Australia. Best Carby Video I've seen. Extremely clear concise and simple. Bout my 13 year old a second hand 11ft Tinnie ( Aluminum Dingy ). Has the exact Motor 5hp Merc 2006. Bought off a mate who elderly father is now to old to use. Its in great condition etc and low hours for age. It was fully serviced 1 year ago but not used once since then. Anyway it went first start/pull, thought great, 3 minutes later it cut out when returned to idle. And wouldn't start or even sound like starting. Let it sit overnight. Went first Pull next day in the shed so gave it flush. That was Monday/Tuesday this week. Today Sunday I gave my Son his Xmas Present and explained its got a fuel issue so cant take it out until get serviced etc. Anyway thought would have a go. Put in the water, went first pull, this time I kept the revs up and gave it a good run just sitting at the dock in neutral for about 8 minutes, if I go back to Idle it want to start cutting out. So after 8 minutes I turned it of and sure again would start at all. Back to garage, let sit for an hour this time, and got it going after 6 or 8 pulls. My Guess and I'm not mechanically minded its getting to much fuel and FLOODING ?? Your thought and would it be the carbi float pin ?? I reakon with your VIdeo Id have teh Confidence to pull Carbi off !! :) Cheers
@@outboardsandtoys8413 hey I have a question . I am looking at diagrams and it does not show it on any of them . The first peace you take off to the carb . The I take if you will . Does it have a V shaped gasket on the other side or do I just tighten the shit out of it to prevent fuel from coming out
UPDATE - SUCCESS - So did the smart thing after half a bottle Whisky and decided to wait till this morning, next day before attemt FIRST ever Carbi Dismantle , Clean, replace. Thanks to your step by step and very clear video went off without a hitch, did EXACTLY as instructed this morning, Live on a river so Wheeled Tinnie, Launched, Went first pull, immediatly could hear teh differnece, Son and I went for a solid 20 minute run. 100%. BTW, yea there was a real lot of crap, possible sand, not in teh bowl but in the chamber area I guess. But did everything in Video. Thanks :):)
Hey! Anyone know what the blue/black "filter" part underneath the white fuel filter is called? Seen around 2:29 in the video. I changed the white top filter, but fuel is still not flowing good. Have to prime it every 30 sec or so to keep it running.. I'm suspecting it's partly clogged either in the (male) fuel connector part or in that blue "filter" looking part
Very good description. My motor gives problems at the start of every season. Also the gear change lever breaks if you lay the motor down on that side. Will never buy another Mercury. Yamaha for ever.
Main jet has a thick hole. Low speed jet hole is much thinner and you need to clean it. It is screwed behind the black rubber. I have done it many times in a large number of carburators that keep getting dirty too easy. I'm desperate!
got the same engine, was out at sea and the engine stopped on me, I think the carb is dirty. Hoperfully once i get it off and cleaned it works with no issues
Definitely. Followed the video step by step on my Nissan motor, carbs are exactly the same. She sounds good so far, true test comes tomorrow on the water 🤞
UPDATE - ok here goes Nothing - What do you get when you combine the assistance of America, Scotland, The Dutch and with an Aussie at the Helm.............. Well this is what you get, An Aussie whos never pulled a Carbi Apart before, with the the TH-cam Tutorial on how to Clean a Carbi from an American with 17 Subscribers and 57 Views, with the motivational Assistance from the Scotts via Scotch Whisky ( Half Bottle Consumed already ) and the therefore the Courage of the Dutch. My brain says if you weren't going to do this sober then perhaps now's not a good time or idea, however , Its Go Time. With Phillips head and 10ml in hand, we march into Battle full of Confidence, Kinda !!

I'm glad it worked man that's awesome
Great video thankyou! But I’m still having troubles…. Any ideas on the next troubleshooting check?
When u have a issue with the carb, that issue comes only from the main jet?
I don t think so…
I just serviced my 5hp
Had a fuel line blockage. Plenty of fuel available now. But no start

Thanks so much, Very well done Any tips on adjusting the jet?
Really good video. Any chance you have a rebuild fuel pump video on this unit?
I dont I will try and make 1 or get u a diagram for it
Thanks kindly and much appreciated.
Nice video. This motor is identical to my Nissan 5hp, they must all be made by Tohatsu.
You are welcome i hope this helps
Thank you sir
