    2003 Yamaha 70 tune up question Model TLRB

    Thank you. I found that exact diagram online and the poster said it was from a 1999 manual IIRC. I was able to adjust to the lengths indicated. The length from my manual is longer than the actual rod. I have yet to check the timing. Will do that next and go thru the procedure outlined in the...

    2003 Yamaha 70 tune up question Model TLRB

    It had become very hard to start the first time every day. After that, fired right up. It also runs rough if you gave it just enough fuel for “trolling” speed…just above a no wake speed. Runs great at idle and at faster speeds…like a sewing machine. This motor doesn’t have a choke…it has the...

Used an insulated pair of pliers to bridge the 2 large terminals and got it to crank. Ordered a new solenoid and installed last night. I removed the positive battery...

    1982 Evinrude 50 issue

    Ran my boat for the first time this year. Cranked it at the house on a hose before I left to make sure all was in order and it ran fine. Got to the river and the gas station I buy non ethanol gas from was closed. I had a tank with old gas- at least one year old, possibly 2, so I took a chance...
