"Hey Messageboard,
Very Please with my Yahama Vmax after several years. I live in Galveston- yes saltwater here. This is my question:
A few weeks ago, I was running at high RPM's and my engine started to sputter then stopped. Then I took it out the next weekend and everything was ok.
I took the boat out on this Wed. 4/16 and it sputtered at take off, low speed and high speed, then it would stop, then start up rpms again.
I did all the necessary maintence myself, change the water/fuel seperator, fuel filter inside the engine cover on the Yamaha, and changed the spark plugs.
I took it out and it ran very good till I went to 4,200 rpms. I went to the local Yahama shop and the guy said I was on the right track. I might need to change the filter in the direct injection~ which he told me is inside an aluminum housing. 4 hours labor and a $78.00 part. Is this easy to change out?
I spoke to a neighbor and he said he had the same problem and it was a bad oil reserve filter on the bottom of the oil reserve unit.
Any thoughts on which way to go?
