    2001 Yamaha 50hp tlrz 2 stroke with prime start system starts and dies

    prime start system is not a choke. but like you said in normal it should add extra fuel when motor is cold and then close off the extra fuel as the motor warms up. if it will only run properly in the open position, that bypasses the thermal unit and dumps fuel as long as you have the red lever...

    Can someone tell me what the motor mounted neutral shift switch on a Suzuki 1998 DT150 motor is for? What does it change or effect? The 1997 does not have it and the manual does not have anything in it about it that I have found.

    Well, I just got a new #115 main jet from the Yamaha shop here, that they had to order one for me just to see if I was correct on how to check the orifice size on these Yamaha jets since no one could give me any info on how to check them.

    I just happened to re-look at the procedure in my manual and was confused at the sequence that it stated. After adjusting the throttle timing linkage I thought that you needed to have all the butterflies completely closed and synced them at that point, but the procedure says 1. loosen the...

    I have finally been able to get my hands on a peak reading voltmeter and measure the CDI output like the manual says to and the readings I get are 205v instead of the 140v at 1,500 RPM's on all three outputs. The manual says to replace the ignition coil if the the reading is beyond...

    Rodbolt, motor still cutting out at WOT

    This is really getting strange. Yamaha 1999 C40TLRX still has the high speed cutout or miss, like it is dropping a cylinder at high RPMs . but when I take the cowling and silencer off of the front of the carbs it runs fine WOT, no miss or cut out. Reinstall the silencer and it cuts out a lot at...

    Yamaha RPM limiter question for Rodbolt

    Rodbolt or anyone else that may know the answer, How does the CDI unit on carbed Yamahas limit the RPM? ( mine is a C40TLRX) Does it start dropping a certain cylinder's spark or randomly drop spark to all cylinders. Or is there a different way that it does this? Would it feel like a high...

    Yamaha C40TLRX carburetor kit missing o-rings

    Has anyone else found out that the Yamaha carburetor kits do not contain the o-rings that go on the inlet seats? It seems strange that they are not included with the new needle,seats, floats and other o-rings and gaskets . The local Yamaha dealer told me you just have to pull them off the old...

    I set the throttle link like the manual said to and the pointer is pointing at 7 degrees ATDC in neutral low idle and 25 BTDC opened up but the actual timing is over 10 degrees ATDC at idle( maybe as much as 14 ATDC, no marks past 10) when checked with a timing light. Does this make any since...

    I have had this 1999 C40TLRX start giving me some problems the last 2 times I took it out on the water. It started and idled fine but when I got up on plane it sounded like it was dropping a cylinder and losing some RPMs and them coming back up to normal. The bulb stayed hard and it did not help...
