Correct....agreed. A bad crankshaft seal can lean the mixture on it's adjacent cylinder. Most commonly it's the upper cylinder on these. You can isolate or identify which cylinder if you know what...

Hi.
This has been a long posting. Can you refresh our memories? What are your motor's symptoms?

Thanks, Mr. Scott. I've been struggling with some vintage problems, but not ready to give up yet. Ha! Still love your old post on those vintage pressure tanks, think it's in the archives already....

Ha! I cracked a couple Hamm's and read Ky's post again. That's just good old vintage Kentucky humor. I'm pushing 70 and I'm starting to feel vintage myself. Getting aches and pains from parts I never...

Great. I'll go there and then adjust my listing. I think they fit back to 1998. Thanks William.

Is this a factory fitting, or was it added as a flush port? What is the exact application?

Does the fuel primer bulb build adequate pressure? Have you tried squeezing the fuel bulb while the problem occurs? If fuel system checks out all okay, then there may be a problem with spark...

Guess we're all in the "same boat"!

Hi. I'm selling this unit on eBay and wondering what it will fit. Yamaha seems more difficult to determine interchange. This is a 2002 25 longshaft 2 stroke. I think it fits some of the 4 strokes...

Yes, you can make them work fine. Kinda like buying a scope to put on your deer rifle....gotta sight it in when your done mounting it. Then it's good for 20 years if you take care.

Those screws look pretty tough. The previous work was done by an ape. Points can be micro "tweeked", rarely do you see a perfect mating surface. Once set to close squarely, they should last for 20...

Darn, Racer....all your help for free. You have become the backbone of the forum....especially since Joe retired.
Mikk, make sure you get the right prop for your boat and operating style, but it's...

Right, I see that pin pushed flush quite often. Just drill a shallow hole and put in any kind of steel, even a short slice off a nail. Tap it in place so it sticks up just enough to orient the...

Agreed. Start with the simple stuff.

Just test for continuity across your two wires, while you move through all throttle positions. Of course with motor at rest/not running/no power. I have seen where conductors inside the wire/wires,...

Welcome to the Forum. The switch boxes on these are often best tested through the process of elimination. I have had them go bad after a storage period. Make sure your trigger tests positive with the...

Me too, they are fantastic, run em 100:1 on Amsoil Saber, they are real Brutes, often running 2 side by side tillers for freighting. In fact I have an 84 and an 85 35/30. Appears to have same main...

I'm pretty sure it's rated at the crank until 1984 or 1985.

Yes, been to Lake Stevens. Duluth is a great place, can't let go of L. Superior. They say there's enough water in it to cover the surface of both North and South America with 12" of water. Or if...

Wow! A year already, seems like only a few months back. Where are you located? Still nearly 2 feet of ice on our lakes north of Duluth.
