Tohatsu 9.8 service

[lightning]

I've had my Tohatsu 9.2 two stroke engine since 2012.

Although the engine has only been used from time to time and probably 100 hours in total, l've never replaced the impeller.

l've changed the oil in the lower leg a couple of times, although not for a few years.
l've also used my grease gun on the various grease points from time to time.

l've decided that it needs a full service before it's used again.

What should l replace on this engine
l guess impeller and gaskets, spark plugs and gearbox oil. ls there anything else?

The engine starts first or second pull even when not used since the previous year. l've always flushed it if used in salt water and run it dry of fuel before storage.

lt's never been left in the water.

You've covered the main items. Also check/replace fuel filter, remove the prop and grease the splines, grease the tilt mechanism pivots and sliding contact areas.

The only other area I'd be looking at after that time period would be getting carb gaskets and seeing what gunk is in the fuel bowl and giving it a spray through the jets with carb cleaner as quite a few folks have reported issues with idle/low speed running on this motor due to gummed jets.

Having said that if it runs well I'd not argue the case if you'd rather leave the carb well alone.
