Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my Tohatsu/Nissan engine?
A: This kit is designed for Tohatsu and Nissan 15HP, 20HP, 25HP, and 30HP 4-stroke models. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to match the OEM part numbers 346650130 or 332601030 with your engine's service manual or existing parts. Please also refer to the compatible models table.
