"I have a 98 200hp Yam Saltwat
"I have a 98 200hp Yam Saltwater Series that has been acting up the last few months.
Symptoms:
1.When throwing the throttle forward in gear rapidly motor dies
2.Engine will not go over 4600 RPM at WOT (prior to this, engine would tach to 5400)
3 when loading onto the trailer, engine doesn't feel touquey enough to get onto trailer. (not like it did 6 months ago)
Points of interest:
Prior to this acceleration concern engine was running rough, stalling, hard starting. Only way to get it to stay running was to hold the choke down.
Current Yamaha tech claimed it was dirty watery fuel and performed the following: all carb rebuild kits , replaced water/fuel seperator, scraped tank pickup. Dropped it in the water and had the exact same issue. Took it back, he replaced the water seperator again and shown me a milky white substance extracted from the tank.
Third time back in this morning and not sure of the outcome.
Any suggestions?"
