    Water in Gearcase...just replace all seals??

    Hi, I've got a '94 20 hp "rude. When I replaced my waterpump, I found water in the gear oil...milky yellow. I was hoping that the water was due to not replacing the plastic washers the previous time (still learning!)....but this was not the case. My question is, is it better to just replace...

    New 4HP Yamaha four-stroke

    New 4HP Yamaha four-stroke starts pretty good when cold (two or three pulls)...but is a real bear when warm (10-15-20 pulls). What's the deal? Yamaha suggests cranking the throttle to about 3/4 when warm, which helps, but still just wants to sputter. I'm not sure if it's flooded, or if the...

    Gel Set on crankcase halves

    Hi, Does anyone have any experience using Gel Set on crankcase halves? I know that it cures when oxygen is absent...but how do I know when it has set up internally? I still have "wet" gel set at the seams where it has oozed out. Do I just wipe this off? I thought about "vacuum sealing" the...

    Pisser slow to pee! Worn out pump? Prostrate?

    How long should it take for the water pump to prime and start pumping water? It seems that my '94 20hp is slow to pee...about 4-5 second delay after start up & idle. Is this normal, or is it a sign of a worn out water pump? I've (it's) got a steady stream when it gets going, however. Thanks
