    225TLRS prime start

    I'm replacing all the gaskets on the above and I noticed what appears to be gasket residue on the top thru bolt mounting flange. The part diagram shows no gasket for this position but there is one for the bottom. Was there a gasket on the top or is it just some quirk that I'm seeing. I don't...

    tech question on model #

    My plate on my motor says 225TLRS which has 3 fuel pumps and no prime start. However my motor has only 2 pumps and has prime start which leads me to believe that it is a 93 model and not a 94. Any reason for this?

    milky discharge on muffs

    225 94 2stroke. Should I see milky/water from my prop hub while running with my muffs. I'm guessing that it is a water/oil mix. I just cleaned my carbs and checked the TPS along with adjusting the oil rod due to some binding. I adjusted the oil rod with the carbs fully closed. Just trying to be...

    Deck refinish

    I refinished the deck on my 83 Grady about 10 years ago with a 2 part epoxy paint. I have a ton of stains that will not come up no matter what I use. I was thinking about something like "tuff stuff" but I'm not sure how to prep the old surface. Any suggestions on how to prep or what to use for...

    3L 1989 water leak

    This is my friends boat that I am helping him fix. He has the money, I have the tools and time. We noticed a leak under the exhaust manifold and assumed to be a cracked manifold, gasket or block.

    I'm stumped

    225TLRS I can not figure out how to adjust the air/fuel screws. I put the boat in this morning and warmed it up real good. Tied off to the dock. Set the idle at 1000rpm and started adjusting from a base of 1 turn out. I ran 1 screw in with no change in RPM also back out with no change. All 6...

    water in gas

    I've discovered water in my below deck tank. I drained a jar full and it was very cloudy. After an hour it cleared up with a layer of milky fluid on the bottom of the jar. I assume this to be water. Of course the reason for my looking at this is the engine will not fire. Can this clear gas be...

    yamaha model 225TLRS

    I'm a bit confused in what year this is. As I understand my book this is a 1994 being a "S" last letter. Am I correct because it will make some difference in my carb adjustment. Thanks

    air/fuel setting adj

    '95 225tlrs Years ago Rodbolt gave me settings for these screws but I have lost them. He said (I believe) that these motors like a bit rich setting. I know what the manual says but his word was Bible to me. Anybody have a good feel for this. Thanks
