    So I have what looks like one 85 gallon tank. There is a switch on the console that says "main" and "aux". Is there really an axilliary tank or just one single 85 gallon tank? Also looking for an online users manual. Thanks! Dave

    1995 Evinrude 8HP Yachttwin Two Stroke, Both Cylinders Firing?

    Seems like a dumbe question but here goes. How do I know for sure I amm running on both cylinders? Make sure both plugs look the same after running it for a while? Check for spark on both cylinders? I have good compression, 120psi on the top an 110 on the bottom. Thanks! Dave

    8.0 HP Yachttwin 1995 Two Stroke Rebuild

    I have a 8.0 HP Yachttwin 1995 Two Stroke that runs decent. I know I have some minor scroing on the bottom cylinder.

    I have a 1995 Yachttwin 8HP 2 Stoke. I was wondering what oil most people use. I have been running some off brand and think it may be causing excessive smoke. My mixture is good, 8 oz oil to 3 gallons of gas. Thanks!

    8HP Yachttwin Powerhead Removal

    I have all the bolts loose and the powerhead can be rocked a small amount front to back and side to side. It looks like the shift linkage does not come into play on power head removal but I'm not 100% on this. I have the lower unit off, but not the extension. What else needs to be removed...

    Exhaust in my Engine Cover

    Seems like after I warm up, I get enough exhaust coming into the engine cover to make the motor run a bit rough. It's a 8 HP 2 stroke yachttwin, 1995. I have a new fuel mixture and am running some cheap walmart oil. Should I be using better oil? Maybe a carb rebuild? Thanks!

    Yamaha 9.9 Backfiring Problem

    Starts fine, idles fine and runs fine at higher rpms. However, when ramping it up to speed, either half or full, it is backfiring out of the air intake area of the carb. I have installed a carb rebuild kit, new choke valve and main jet and new diaphram in the carb. It seems better but still...

    Evinrude 8HP 2 Stroke RPM Measurements

    How do you measure RPM's on these two stroke, 2 cylinder engines. I have an older engin analyzer I used to use on older cars where you clip a pickup lead on one of the spark plug wires. Will this work? Thanks, Dave
