    2002 Yamaha F2.5--customer is coming in morning-please help

    I can't seem to get this thing to run right. It's smoking badly and throttle response is about none. From Idle to wide open, the RPMS only change about 2-300 higher.

    Just took the boat out for the first time since I've owned it. Idled fine but would bog severely when hitting the throttle. <br />Got the boat home and began to investigate. When running the boat with the hose hooked up, I'm fairly certain the bottom cylinder is not firing. I can take the...

    1995 Mariner 60 hp

    I'm looking to purchase the above mentioned. 3 cylinder, oil injected, T and T. It's a very clean motor with minimal hours, 50 hours maybe. Original owner has had the motor since new and I don't think he's trying to pull any thing past me.<br />Good, bad or average? <br />Thanks.<br />Dman
