    Yamaha F6 Fuel Issue

    My 2006 F6 will run, but only with the choke on. Does this sound like the carb needs rebuilding? Are there ports that a novice can't find that could be clogged? It seems that the unit is not as complex as some of the larger 4 stroke carbs. I haven't yet replaced the fuel filter, but that is next...

    Pick Point for F100?

    Can someone clarify for me what is to be used as the pick point for engine removal/hoisting? Better yet would be an image of what this looks like would be a great help. I need to lift the engine with a cherry picker to install a new steering cable. Thanks, Jay

    Yamaha F6 Woes

    Help,<br />My 2003 F6 is really got me frustrated. I will not run unless the choke is on. Once I push the choke in it accelerates then dies.

    Online source for Racor Seperator Filters

    Does anyone know of a online retailer that carries the Racor fuel water seperator filters? I'm looking for the ones with the see thru bowl for my F100. In the local stores here they seem a bit overpriced at $45. Was wondoring if I might find them cheaper online.<br /><br />Thanks

    Can someone provide instructions or preferrably a pictorial guide to cleaning out the carb on a 6hp 4 Stroke? Does it require an overhaul kit from the dealer or simply a matter of draining it out and cleaning it? Mine is only a few years old with low hours, but I had some water in my fuel system...

    Water/Fuel Seperator Filters Created Equal?

    Are these all about the same or do people have particular preferences for one reason or another? I know Yamaha makes one that connects up to the fuel management gauge, but I don't have that. Wondor though if it is a worthy addition.<br /><br />Thanks

    Dewatering Built-in Fuel Tank?

    I just spent $400 rebuilding the carbs on my F100 because I had water in my fuel tank. Other than condensation (sitting outside most of fall and winter) I'm not clear on how I could get so much water in the tank. I do have a fuel/water seperator, the one with the clear bowl and drain at bottom...
