Why is my TOHATSU MFS 25B Outboard Motor engine difficult to start?

If your TOHATSU Outboard Motor engine is hard to start, several factors could be at play. Start by checking if the fuel tank is empty and fill it if necessary. Ensure the fuel system connections are correct and inspect the fuel line for any leaks that might be letting air in. A deformed or damaged fuel hose should be replaced. Make sure the air vent on the fuel tank is open. The fuel filter or fuel pump might be clogged, requiring cleaning or replacement. Verify you're using the specified engine oil and recommended gasoline. Ensure you're adequately priming the fuel system. Finally, check the water temperature or MAP sensor and their wiring for any issues.
