Tohatsu TLDI 40hp question

[chris3298]

Honestly, I don't see the difference in gas milage from the TLDI and the 40 hp mercury that is a 2 stroke carb motor. I have a friend with one and it gets just as good of gas milage as mine. I bet over there yall don't have this problem with ethanol in your gas like we got here?

I had two stroke's and four stroke's, known for there fuel hunger and weight. The TLDI is a good compromis its a good responding strong and simple engine. The only drawback is the need of a big battery, it won't run with out it like the E-tec's.

As far the problem with gas mixed with replacements (bio fuel's) yes we have it here, i am not sure its ethanol. Last year i replaced the injectors from my car begause of this bad fuel.
Startron worked for me.

Dam sounds like worse gas then what we have. I to have a huge battery, I ended up going with a Optima there heavy but I have no problem with starting.

I have an Exide.

This week a will put another prop on it, i now have a 12p going to try 13p Spitfire (4 blade) and a 14p (3 blade) and will see how it performs.

With my jack plate jacked all the way up I need more pitch this 13 pitch isn't enough but not gonna buy another prop because the jack plate needs to be redrilled so i can jack it up higher.
