    Engine idle rpm oscillations

    I wouldn't worry to much about that area of RPM That is the transition area between IAC and TPS take over. If it was doing it at idle (600-800) I would think more about the IAC

    Gauge cluster or ECU issue?

    Don't know much about a Yam but it sure sounds like the info your getting isn't any good. The enter security code gives me the idea the ECU needs to be reprogrammed. Need a Yam dealer to look at it with their scanner

    5.0gi TBI to Carb

    Yes 30 psi not 55, The motor has a regulator in the TB, but the motor uses 2 fuel pumps mounted together and regulated to 29 psi +/- 2. Using a Holley Reg designed to regulate 10 psi or less down to 5, and have 30 coming in is not a good idea in my opinion

    5.0gi TBI to Carb

    Your not helping A wiring diagram from the manual doesn't necessarily show if there is or is not a connector. For the sake of discussion lets say there is not a connector. Follow the wires from the 10 pin which go to the ECM and the ones that do not. The ones that do not, leave be, the ones...

    Engine Starting Issue

    Not saying the folks did a bad thing installing a CAT motor, but they didn't do you any favors. You got a good motor but it went from being easy to work on, to one that can only be worked on by a trained professional They could have bought a Reman and used everything off you old motor, or...

    Bravo 3

    A right hand motor has not been made in a hole bunch of years. Rotation is determined from the flywheel. Standard rotation (LH or CCW) at the flywheel, and rotates CW at the front of the motor
