    DB Electrical tilt/trim

    I have used 2 of them on different boat with no issues at all. One on my Yamaha 90 and one on an old Johnson 50. I believe they are one of the better aftermarket motors.

    Yamaha F250 Thermostats

    Now that you mention it, I have had similar encounters with 250 and 300's seems to be the port side stat that fails much more frequently......maybe due to the direction/path of water flow...

    Yamaha 150 Outboard

    If it is a 2022...your batteries should be good for another couple of years at least......did something happen to them???? at any rate, a 150 does not take a lot of CCA to start.. 650-750CCA should be plenty with a little extra to play with. look for Reserve capacity (RA) rating if you are...

    Tlrz 2001 130 Oil Injection Pump Setting

    so the oil link rod is connected to the carb buterfly's...correct?? as the butterflies open, so does the oil pump..... so you might want to make sure that your carb butterflies are advancing all the way open. they should go all the way horizontally... I have my 90 set where WOT is at full...

    GAS IN OIL

    Sounds like you could possibly have a sealing issue with the rings/cylinders or such then.. Compression #'s arent bad although #1 is lower than the others... keep us updated if the 60* T-stat helps any...

    GAS IN OIL

    Yea a thermostat for an F90 is what was in my F115 briefly. ran it pretty hard for a few weeks this summer with no issues. might give Yamaha Ringfree a try. It is a little pricey..(like most things Yamaha) but a lot of people really say it works. I ran it through mine after I had issues...

    GAS IN OIL

    Also.....I believe the stock thermostat for the 115 is 50*C whereas most of the other motors are 60*C. never gotten a good answer as to why the 115 is lower. Some people have put the 60*C sts into their 115 with no problem. I myself have done it for a short time with no issues. Just...

    GAS IN OIL

    The F115 is notorious for making oil. I know this will sound dumb, but change your thermostat. I bet it is stuck open. basically the cause is the thermostat sticks open (or poppet valve) and the engine is over cooled. when it is run cold like this, the rings do not seal properly and...

    1977 johnson seahorse 6hp

    There is definitely no overheat feature to turn the motor off. A buddy of mine gave me one that was overheated to the point of locking up. TWICE!!!! I never did a thing to this motor, and it still runs fine today... They seem to be pretty tough motors.. If able to, pop the heads off...

    premix VRO pump vs. Fuel pump

    Kind of the way we were leaning. Just curious if it was worth taking the pump off of the older motor since we already have it.

    premix VRO pump vs. Fuel pump

    So helping a buddy swap motors. Both are 2000 Johnson 50hp. Both are run as Pre-mix. His original one has been converted to a fuel pump.... The new one that we just put on still has the VRO pump but the oil lines have been cut and plugged. Personally I would like to go back to a...

    '98 Yamaha 115 runs hot if over 4,000 RPM's

    Sorry for coming in a little late, You said that it is definitely overheating when the alarm goes off...How did you verify this?? temp of cylinders??? Just trying to rule out a faulty temp sensor. of if you could locate one cylinder way hotter than the others then you would have a...

    Old Yamaha isn't running right

    How did you determine that it is only running on one cylinder? Need to verify if both cylinders are getting spark when the issue is occurring. have you properly cleaned the carbs anytime recently?? could be something as simple as an obstruction in one of the transition ports...

    2000 40hp 4-stroke yamaha shutting off above 2000rpm

    what alarm is it sending? Oil or temp?? if you have Yamaha gauges it will show which alarm.

    Replacing powerhead on 90LTR 2 stroke Yamaha

    Well not specific to outboards, but I know with other 2 cycle engines it is common for people to add a little extra oil for the first few hours. Not double it though...you want (need) some friction for the rings to seat properly. A 90TLR should be oil injected so you can add a litte extra...
