    2006 Yamaha F115 VST drain?

    New (old) relay came in and pasted bench test. installed it and that was the eng starting problem! I put the engine down after replacing the PPT unit and found the brass drain screw once it was down. I don't see a drain line but it should drain out once I loosen the screw and release pressure...

    2006 Yamaha F115 VST drain?

    I figured it would have to be on the bottom somewhere. I'll look again. Maybe it will be easier to see with the motor trimmed down. It's been in the locked up position as I sent the PTT off to be rebuilt. BTW: You were helping me a couple weeks ago on the starter problem but stopped...

    2006 Yamaha F115 VST drain?

    Getting a boat my dad had sitting for yrs into running condition. Want to drain the VST but I can't seem to find the drain screw. I released what little pressure was in the fuel rail using the schrader valve on top of the rail. I also found the little black rubber plug with a "tab" on it (...

    How do you remove the starter relay off a F115?

    So working a won't start issue on my F115. Starter bench tests ok so want to check the relay. I "think" I have a bad relay on my 2006 yamaha F115TXR I have removed the starter and bench tested it and it seems to be good. I want to remove the relay and bench test it using 12v at my work bench...

    2006 F115 starter won't turn engine over

    So I had a thread going last month and was getting some good advice but then the person helping me stopped responding. I don't know why. Maybe they got tired of my questions or something....' The engine on my motor won't turn over. I can turn it by hand (with the plugs out) so I know it's...

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    I'm going to try one more time but I have a feeling you gave up on me. I pulled the starter and tested it in my woodxxxx. When I apply voltage to the Br/W solenoid wire the bendix jumps up and retracts after removing power. when I apply power to the wire that goes from the solenoid to the...

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    well I don't know if you gave up on me, on vacation, or sick but I think the starter is bad. I applied 12v to the br/wht wire and then checked all the leads (red) at the starter, solenoid and the one that goes from the selenoid to the starter. I got "OL" on my multimeter at all points. I only...

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    I'll check voltage at the starter first when I jump the br/wt wire again. I check the voltage at the starter (selenoid) at the large red wire which comes from the battery, yes? (post#37, point "A") or check at "B"? Couldn't you check both? "A" to see if I'm getting voltage from battery...

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    been a few days since last post, weather and a medical procedure got in the way.....So today I went out and removed the br/wt wire from the relay. Using my car jumper cables I connected my fully charged battery to the wire. The bendix jumped up and "stuck" in the flywheel. The engine did not...

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    no, not really. I'm trying to figure out the best way to see if the starter or the solenoid or the relay is the problem. I was just thinking if using the br/wt wire jump test doesn't work what else can I do. I'm not experienced in this as obviously you are. However I am mechanically inclined...

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    so I went out to see what the "acorn" looking part was and it's a rubber boot over another electrical connection on the solenoid. I think this is the other solenoid connection you were sying to apply pwr to instead of to the large R (batt) wire). Yes?

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    "to the other solenoid". are you talking about the acorn looking "nut" just to the left of the large R wire on the solenoid?

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    looks like you sent this when I was working on my last post with the pic of the starter/ large R wire. Why couldn't I just disconnect the large R wire and then apply 12v using jumper cables from one of my batteries? (this is assuming the other ways to test don't work, i.e. the relay is bad or...

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    boscoe. I appreciate you trying to educate me but I have little to no experience in reading electrical diagrams so it's a bit difficult. in both posts 26/25 i see the power going from the key switch via br to the relay. then from the relay to the solonoid via br/wt I also see R on the relay...

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    great! so I just have to ask.... if the relay is good but the starter solonoid is bad; could you not just apply 12v to the starter motor (large red wire on main body of starter) to see if the starter engages/turns? I did that on a zero turn mower yrs ago by using a jumper from the batt...
