Hi rodbolt...Where would I find that 20 amp ignition feed fuse?

Look at the wire harness near the CDI unit and the starter solenoid.<br />There You find a red wire with a black fuse holder. Take the fuse holder apart and change the fuse. Part number for the fuse is: <br />682-82151-00. There should be a spare fuse too. On older engines the fuse was inside the black cover, and on newer its outside the cover near the fuseholder.

keep an eye on the cdi box when you re-start. i had a 1999 yami 80 hp 4 stoke catch on fire after replacing that fuse when the owner had recently 'jumped' it off.
