If I run my Yamaha F70A completely out of fuel by mistake is it a case of refuelling and pumping the primer bulb to restart the engine?
The motor is running fine. I don?t have any experience with the new fuel injected 4 strokes to know if there is a more involved priming procedure.
I have...
Re: 1994 120 HP rebuild. Now I'm scared.
This is the only shot I have of the linkages. Hopefully it is of some help.
My 1998 75hp idle setting was 8 degrees BTDC and at WOT it was 30 Degrees BTDC (dynamic), 32 degrees BTDC (Static). This was printed on a sticker ontop of the block and also...
I?ve decided to call it quits on this motor. The cost of the parts, the gymnastics in trying to purchase the parts and having them shipped from the states. Also my lack of experience with rebuilding power heads had me a bit nervous about how the project would finish up.
My wife has been trying...
Looks like I need a rebore and new pistons for my 1998 75 hp Force. The bore was quite worn although not damaged or grooved. It had a substantial lip at the top which is too large to remove with a hone.
I’ve looked around and have found a couple of places selling Wiseco pistons. One listed the...
I have the Powerhead off my 1998 75 Force and would like your thoughts on whether it is worth fitting a new set of rings whilst motor is off. The compression is 140 even with a weak starter and bent reeds. The motor has done 220 hours. The rest of the motor is in good condition. I don't have...
One thing leads to another when working on older outboards. I have the power head off my 1998 75 Force sorting out some problems and I have just noticed the forward engine mount is broken (#6 in the diagram). The plates that attach to the engine and the lower cowl have detached from the central...
It looks like my motor is repairable (Allan key bolt thread) so the next step is getting things ready to reassemble the motor when I get it back from the engineers.
My current torque wrench is a cheapy and only reads Foot/Lbs from 28 – 150. From what I can see in the manual the exhaust cover...
I may need to take the powerhead off my motor this weekend. 1998 75 Force.
One of the bolts has and Allan key top to it. Can I use a normal allan key to remove it or is there a special type of allan key socket tool I need to use?
I?m trying to remove the exhaust bolts in my 1998 75 force. Some of them have come out easily but others seem extremely corroded. The motor has been run in salt water.
I have already snapped one bolt off level with the block.
I have read other posts that say they have had to work at the bolts...
1998 75 Force.
Still looking for the cause of the miss at idle.
Removed the reeds to check their condition and noticed what looks like a small tear in the inner gasket between no.1 and no 2 reed blocks. The close-up photo shows a recessed area in the adaptor plate which looks like it would be...
Checked the recirculation system and found two of the check valve were not closing properly. They were not blocked but just not closing fully. Cleaned them with carb cleaner but still not working. I?ve been chasing a rough idling problem for a while.
I have my fingers crossed that this is the...
I’m having starter problems and have eliminated every thing I can think of. 1988 75 p force.
Voltage drop test. Cleaned starter checked brushes. New solenoid. (separate issue). Battery.
The starter engages ok but does not stay engaged very long.
I checked the pinion gear by placing a...
I’m having a problem with the motor missing. It is more noticeable when cold and is enough to stall the motor at times. At idle the motor increases revs then misses, slows down and starts the cycle over again. It seems to run ok at speed.
What I’ve tried so far.
Link and sync.
Cleaned carb...
