"Hello All,
My little 1989 50
"Hello All,
My little 1989 50 ELF Yamaha outboard is driving me nuts.
She will start and run good for approx. 30 sec then bog down and stall out. If I use the warm up lever sometimes I can save it. She will run on the lake, but will stall at idle.
I have already replaced the fuel pump, tore apart, rebuilt and cleaned the carbs (all the jets, emulsion tubes, floats, gaskets, o-rings pilot screw). I have soaked and scrubed them. She used to have a "lean sneeze", and a hesitation at wot, but with the last tare down and cleaning we got rid of that. But she will not idle. Someone mentioned to me the float levels could do this. Is this so, and if so how do you adjust them?
Any help would be greatly appreicated.
Thanks
Peter"
