I bought a 95 Yamaha Wave Venture 700 about a month ago. Ran great! Ridden several times with no issues. Then all of a sudden my son had trouble starting it. So I went out and played with the throttle and choke and finally got it to start. But it ran like crap. We changed the spark plugs and...
Here's a weird question...but the tube that connects to the impeller housing. Does it just slide in to the hole in the upper unit? Or is it supposed to be fixed there? It was a bear trying to get them both to line up when I was trying to put the lower unit back on, and have very little...
Yes. I’m still getting water out of the prop. I just changed the impeller. Hooked it all back up. Same issue. The tube from impeller housing seems a little janky. Is there a better idea for that. Seems like a bad design. I can honestly say, I don’t know for sure that the tube got connected.
Got it. Just ordered the impeller kit. Will rebuild and make sure everything is lined up when I put it back on. Thanks guys! I’ll update when I’m done.
So, I just realized something weird but I think it answers my question. When it's trimmed down, I over heat. When it's trimmed up...it stats at or below 170 degrees. I am presuming that the tube is getting pinched or something. Thoughts?
There is a power steering cooler, yes. It's coming from the prop, I'll check to see about the transom shield. The intake hose is on the right side of the thermostat housing.
