Re: 2004 yamaha 225 doesn' want to go
Have you checked any electrical components? Might be ignition related. First, make sure the timing is correct. It could be your stator, TPS or crank sensor. You can check the crank sensor & TPS with an ohm meter. Crank sensor is static, while your TPS should show ohms change throughout the full range of motion. You should also check the TPS voltage, which should show a voltage change throughout it's full range of motion (need a multimeter to test). If both are within spec, check the high speed coils in your stator. You'll need a peak voltage meter or DVA for your multimeter. Your stator has both high and low speed coils along with a lighting coil. The high speed coils take over at anywhere between 1500 & 2500 RPM. You'll need to have the boat on the water or the engine in a test tank, in forward gear, at the suspected RPM range to test. Good luck.
