"Hard to believe isn't it?
"Hard to believe isn't it? .. A problem has developed with my old reliable yammie 2-stroke.
This motor is a 2003, 8hp and has always had a very strong water exhaust (pee hole) stream.
During the course of last years season, the stream gradually reduced and the water would get
really hot - the smaller the stream, the hotter the water. Cleaned out the pee hole tube and
would get a better stream and cooler water output but it would only last a little while before
clogging up again. As the season went on, the time between clogs shortened.
no brainer - right?! ... replaced the water pump but the same thing still happens. Runs for about
20-30 minutes before getting totally clogged and I have to dig out the tube again. Never getting a good
strong stream.
Brought it to two - get that TWO outboard dealers and both said there is nothing wrong.... but I know there
is - the performance seems off, the pee hole constantly gets clogged and the sound is lower than normal.
Wasted a few bucks on bringing it to the dealers, could have made a nice down payment on a new one... but
why should I have to buy a new one? .. This is a YAMAHA!! I loved these and am just so dissappointed the dealers
couldn't find anything wrong.
If anyone has any other ideas what this problem could be, other than the water pump, I am at a loss."
