    Help Rectify my Rectifier

    Any experts out there on Yamaha charging systems? Earlier this month, I bought a new rectifier, and had the motor charging upto 14 or so volts. However, I charged up my battery a week or so ago (deep-cycle), and now my charging systems doesn't seem to want to work any more. <br />Will the...

    Engine Boggs

    My yamaha 50 still boggs down when I gun it from a stand still. I'm gonna tear the carbs apart tomorrow, but wanted to know if this is the place to start. I can usually rescue it with the choke, and it doesn't do it all the time (though it does most of the time). <br /><br />Could this be a...

    My Yamaha Pro 50 hesitates out of the hole, unless she's been running for a while. I can choke her back to health, but I'm a bit concerned. The fuel pump is new, so I hope that's not the answer. Is there a fuel/air mixture screw easy to reach? Could it be the bulb/fuel line off the tank...

    Yamaha Pro 50

    I can't get my Yamaha to charge. I've tested through the fuse, and I get battery voltage readings. I've tested the AC and DC voltage off the three green wires coming from the lighting coil (I grounded these to the battery), and got just about nothing. SHould I have gotten well over 12V on...
