    1990 Yamaha Pro 50 2-Stroke - trouble starting, now it won't start

    A 1990 Pro50LD does not have use choke plates. It is a prime start model. Automatic fuel enrichment. Nothing need be done by the operator. The toggle choke switch is on the 703 control box for those models that have carburetors with chokes. The toggle switch does nothing. Despite many saying...

    2000 Yamaha 50HP bad center cylinder

    I am still going with detonation damage or pre-ignition damage. One can lead to the other. The ugly red headed step sisters of catastrophic engine damage.

    Can I add an Oil Pump to a Yamaha CV85

    I will revise my no. Given enough time and money, yes, the CV85 can be converted to an oil injection model. $10,000 grand or so in parts might do it. New block, new CDI assembly, oil tank, engine harness and a bunch of other stuff will be needed. And the oil pump of course.

    Yamaha 115hp 2011 4 stroke idle not adjusting properly

    A 2011 Yamaha F115 is fuel injected. Idle RPM is not adjustable. If you try to play with something to change the RPM the ECU is going to do its best to make another adjustment to counter what was done.

    6Y5-8350T-D0-00 Tach setting please

    Yamaha is not always consistent by the way with respect to wire colours. Best to look at the applicable service manual. Then see if the wiring agrees with the SM.

    6Y5-8350T-D0-00 Tach setting please

    Constant battery power = red wire. Key on battery power = yellow wire. Relay on battery power = red/yellow wire.

    6Y5-8350T-D0-00 Tach setting please

    Red is for other Yam instruments that need constant battery power. Also can be used for the memory of a radio if one has one installed.

    2000 Yamaha 50HP bad center cylinder

    The center cylinder has the same water flow all around it that the top and bottom cylinders do. Should run no hotter.

    Help me to understand the straight gasoline theory?

    2000 Yamaha 50HP bad center cylinder

    Detonation can result from a cylinder running too hot. From being slightly too lean or for other reasons.

    2000 Yamaha 50HP bad center cylinder

    21 year old motor won't be worth much. Repair costs in parts alone can easily and quickly exceed the value of the motor. If the parts are even available.

    2000 Yamaha 50HP bad center cylinder

    Lack of oil in the gasoline would result in a different kind of damage IMO. And to all three cylinders. And to other internal parts as mentioned. Crank shaft being just one. Bearings. Cylinder walls. From what I can see damage is limited to the number two cylinder. Perhaps to the piston only...

    2000 Yamaha 50HP bad center cylinder

    Looks like detonation damage to me. Breaks chunks of the piston off. Piston shrapnel then damaged the top of the piston, the cylinder head, the reed cage, etc..

    Need to buy a CDI for 1988 Yamaha

    Any manufacturer cannot hold all parts for all time. The failure rate of the CDI assembly is so low that it makes no sense to hold a part for which the demand is all but non-existent. Thank goodness for the innerweb where it is much easier now to find an obsolete part.

    1995 yamaha 200hp v6 2 stroke txrt spanner nut 6g5-5483-00 and claw

    What we have here boys is a failure to communicate. The lower unit retainer nut and washer are somewhat important. Help to hold the bearing housing, propeller shaft, propeller some other needed parts in the lower unit.
