When it dies, verify you have spark.
Does your ignition trigger have 2 wires, or 3 wires? If 2 wires, it may be a bad trigger.
Go thru the TV ignition troubleshooting tree in the stickies
A few of the common reasons
Bad fuel
Bad fuel pump
Plugged fuel vent
Carb really out of adjustment
Dirt in carb (bypassing the filter probably didn't help)
Plugged AS valve
Fuel pickup tube has hole in it
I would simply cut the cable off a bit outside the tilt tube, then use a brass drift and a 5# fist maul and point the remaining bits out. Then clean up the inside of the tilt tube with a wheel cylinder hone.....Then get a new cable and helm
Go a few inches past the splice on the kill switch and you would find purple wires
The picture you are showing is for a 2-stroke outboard, not a 3.0 I/O
You can't buy much of anything for a Yamaha out drive.
The motor wiring is super simple and you can follow the ABYC wiring colors
Kill switches in I/Os simply break the purple wire(ignition) to kill. Kill switches on magneto ignition 2-strokes ground the coils to kill
Did you service the...
Mid 90s crest liner fishhawk 24 is a hybrid between a cuddy and a walk around easy to work on 4.3 I/O
Many of the older Islanders were available either I/O or O/B
The boating market moved from outboards to I/Os and is now moving back
Both I/Os and O/Bs have their place
A 350hp outboard plus...
As indicated above, GM RH rotation motors spin the cam, distributor and oil pump the same as the LH rotation motors. Only the crank spins backwards. Make sure your crank has the correct knurling for RH vs LH cranks.
I live 3 miles from the ramp and avoid every holiday weekend on the water. Too many idiots, nuts, and rude people
Last 4th we were on the water, a drunken load of boaters ran into us intentionally attempting to start a fight
I doubt that a carbureted 4.3 has vapor lock
What symptoms are you experiencing. Is this a new to you boat with this issue, or a boat you owned for a while that recently developed symptoms
Most likely that ladder was made in-house by the boat builder in their cabinet shop
So if you want the same, fire up the wood working tools
If you go forward with teak...... Google teak oil
Look at the link in my signature about page 15. I made a thickened gel, troweled it on, then waited until it kicked and used a bed liner roller to pull peaks.
Followed by a light spray
