    Yamaha Dies on throttle up

    I have a 1999 Yamaha 130 (130tlrx), on my last trip out the motor would bog down and die when I throttled up. This only happened when I really hammered on it. If I opened the throttle slowly it had no problem. It seemed to idle and run fine at all RPMs. I used it two days before that with no...

    2000 Yamaha 115 ?

    I am thinking about purchasing a used boat with a 2000 Yamaha 115 and have a few questions: What would be considered good compression numbers? What RPMs should it be turning at WOT? Would around 350 hours of use be a lot for this motor? Are there any know problems with this model I should be...

    I have a 1996 Evinrude 90hp (e90tleda) that I would like to set the timing on using Joe Reeves method. Does my motor have the QuickStart feature?

    Water in cylinder?

    I have what I suspect to be water in one cylinder on a 1996 Evinrude 90. I have pulled the head and the exhaust cover. The head gasket looked fine but the exhaust gaskets were brittle and one of the bolts had water weeping from around it. I read on another post that I needed to fog the...

    Synchronization Question

    I have a 1996 Evinrude 90 and was planning on rebuilding my carbs. I have read that I would need to do a synchronization afterwards. I ordered a manual and it says I need a $300 ignition tester to do this. Is there another way to do it or should I just pay a dealer to have it done? Does...

    "NO OIL" light with continuous alarm

    I have a 1996 Evinrude e90tleda with the VRO still hooked up. My "NO OIL" light has been coming on intermittently but with a continuous tone (same one as an overheat). This has happened at idle and WOT. I have tested the temp sensors by grounding them to the block and the light indicating...

    Prop help needed

    I have a 4 blade s.s. prop. I think I might need to go down in pitch because at WOT I am only getting about 5000 RPMS @ 30 mph. My problem is I can't find the size stamped on the prop, the only thing I can find is "13" stamped on it. Is there any way to determine the size and pitch if the...

    Any ideas?

    I've had a reoccurring overheating issue at high speeds on a 1996 Evinrude e90tleda. So far I have replaced the thermostats and poppit valves, impeller and housing, and the water deflectors.

    My 1996 90hp Evinrude E90TLEDA has an overheating issue at high speeds. I have already changed the thermostats, relief valves and complete waterpump overhaul to no avail which leads me to believe I need to replace the water deflectors and clean out the water jackets. I know I will need new...
