Hi All, first time boat owner and first time poster here on the forum.
I recently purchased a boat on a trailer and when I got there the seller said I could have this engine for free, she said it hasn't been used for about a year because her husband passed away but just before it was stored in the shed it was serviced by Yamaha service centre and was running fine.
I haven't been able to get the motor running, I've checked fuel is getting to the carbie and there is spark from the plugs. I don't want to go any further into taking it apart because I don't have a Maintenance Manual for it because I'm not certain of which one to purchase.
Sorry about so many words... Long story short I'm here to find some help properly identifying the engine and then which maintenance book is suited to it.
The model number on the engine is aj8bacde, AJ = Australian Johnson, 8 Horsepower, BA = Pull cord, C,DE = Not sure. (I think) I don't even know if it's a 2 or 4 stroke engine...
When searching aj8bacde on google, there are no results. I assume this model will have another number for other country codes and they might be better to search for.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Fuzzy
