    Huh? The power to charge the capacitor typically comes from a coil within the stator. The power charging the capacitor is at a much much higher voltage than the voltage that comes from a battery, or the alternator output to the battery. The capacitor voltage when applied to primary side of the...

    fuel mixture yamaha 15 hp

    100:1. Gasoline to oil. Or 1:100 as Yamaha says. Oil to gasoline. Got my crystal ball opened up. Someone will be by shortly to say that it should be 50:1. But Yamaha does not agree with them.

    Merc Outboard - 2 Year Old Engine Failure, 5 Year Extended Warranty Denied

    Dealers are not machine shops/engine rebuild shops. I don't blame them a bit for not wanting to repair a power plant. Takes up too much of their time. Too much uncertainty for them.

    Merc Outboard - 2 Year Old Engine Failure, 5 Year Extended Warranty Denied

    Throttle bodies and the inner walls of a cylinder and the piston rings get the least amount of lubrication. Therefore they are prone to corroding more quickly than other engine components. Fogging oils formulated to be compatible with engines having fuel injection should not be a problem to any...

    Merc Outboard - 2 Year Old Engine Failure, 5 Year Extended Warranty Denied

    How many ways, how many times, does Mercury need to say no? What part of their initial no was not understandable? One phone call to Mercury, with their saying no, should have been enough. Perhaps a not only no but hell no should have been their reply. But then they would have been reported as...

    Merc Outboard - 2 Year Old Engine Failure, 5 Year Extended Warranty Denied

    I did. Below is the post that I was referring to. "Is that a recent instruction? And for this engine ? I’ll need to check mine. But I know my other modern mercruiser engine manual definitely says to run a 2 stroke mix of fuel through the engine, before storage. Fogging oil plays havoc with...

    Merc Outboard - 2 Year Old Engine Failure, 5 Year Extended Warranty Denied

    I can understand your grief and pain. But business in business. Have you heard the term "irrational expectations"? It comes to mind here. IMO Mercury is not looking to deny warranty claims. By the same token, they are not looking to approve claims that do not constitute a warrantable defect...

    Merc Outboard - 2 Year Old Engine Failure, 5 Year Extended Warranty Denied

    From a Mercury ProXS 115 four stroke owners manual. The fogging oil is applied directly into the cylinder. For prevention of corrosion. Well downstream from the fuel injectors. In aircraft engines it is done quite often. Even in the desert. They go so far as to install dessicant plugs that...

    Reversing Outboard output shaft rotation

    It is not that simple. On the other hand, it is not that complex. In a Yamaha counter rotating gear case, the forward and reverse gear locations are reversed from the standard lower unit. The forward gear is now in the back of the case, behind the pinion gear. Reverse gear is located in the...

    Would you make a few hundred dollars repairing a motor while incurring thousands of dollars in risk? I don't blame a dealer at all. He has better ways of making money with less risk.

    2006 Yamaha 150V Outboard - Bendix Not engaging

    Voltage drop can result due to poor electrical connections or an internal problem within a wire. The battery may be defective as well. Start with testing the voltage at the positive battery post. Then measure the voltage at the positive terminal of the battery cable, at the battery. Then...

    Merc Outboard - 2 Year Old Engine Failure, 5 Year Extended Warranty Denied

    Because if a force was great enough to bend a rod there is more than likely considerable other damage. To the bearings, to the crankshaft, etc. It is the modus operandi today to replace assemblies. The short block assembly for instance. Too much time and risk to dismantle same so as to replace...
