    Gas line issue

    Thank you. Just tried the external tank and the engine sounds great. No issues. So at least we have the issue narrowed down. I have very limited access to the internal engine. What I do have access to I have attached in this pic. It looks like a rubber sheathing is melting/dissolving. But I...

    Gas line issue

    Yes you are correct. I have further explored the issue and therefore reposted without what I know now to be unnecessary information. I do plan on trying to run the engine out of a container of gas I have. If it runs, then I can confirm the issue is not related to the engine. Please excuse...

    Gas line issue

    Hello. I have a Yamaha 70 HP (2011). The engine started right up this spring but would consistently stall after 15 seconds. I could pump the bulb and it would start again but stall after 15 seconds. That told me it would burn the gas in the engine but it was not receiving any more gas. In...

    Yamaha 70 hp 15 sec stall

    Thank you. I just ordered a new fuel line with a bulb that I can check next weekend. Not only cheaper but much easier than the VST so I will start there. Am I correct thinking that if the VST was clogged the engine would not shut down every time after 15 seconds? I would think a clogged...

    Yamaha 70 hp 15 sec stall

    Thank you for this. I just watched a video on VST filter changes so I might try that next weekend. I was just working on it and verified that the gas going through the engine now is clear. But I am noticing when I pressed the ball to get the gas into the engine, it never hardens. And the...

    Yamaha 70 hp 15 sec stall

    Hello, I am getting my engine going for the spring. It starts up right away but stalls around 15 seconds. Just before it stalls, it shakes a bit and it sounds like air either being brought in or let out. I winterized the gas last fall but noticed the gas in the small gas filter was brown. I...

    Problem fixed (I think)

    Thank you. It is a 2011 Model F70LA. I should add that when the stall initially happened I was making sure the engine had gas by pressing the ball pump but I could tell I was just pumping air. After I put gas back into the filter and securely tightened it, the ball pump (not sure that is the...

    Problem fixed (I think)

    Hello, Yesterday I was using my 70HP Yamaha outboard. I was in the last quarter of my trip and the engine stopped. Sounded like it was no longer getting gas. While waiting for a tow I took off the fuel/water separator filter to see if there was some water in it. I noticed how easy it was...

    Stopped bolt on Yamaha 70

    Thanks. I actually just got a 6 point socket and it came right off. I took off the lower unit and am now struggling to remove the bolt. Seems stuck but I will take a look later in the week. Have a great day.

    Stopped bolt on Yamaha 70

    Hello, I have a stripped 12 mm bolt on a Yamaha 70. It is the bolt under the zinc anode that holds the lower unit to the upper unit. Can anyone share a tip for removing it? Thank you. Rich Costa

    Engine not spitting

    I have a 2011 70 hp Yamaha. In the fall I had it serviced with a new impeller. As I was preparing it for launch in my driveway, initially it was spitting normally. ) Subsequently, I replaced the battery, and tightened the small gas filter in the engine. Neither should have anything to do with...

    2011 Yamaha 70hp stalling

    Hello, I have a 2011 Yamaha 70 on my lowrider. I never had an issue until last night. Out in the bay it just stalled. I got towed in and thought perhaps my gas gauge was malfunctioning. Put some gas in this morning, primed it with the ball. It starts for a moment then stalls again. Seems...
