2004 Johnson Saltwater Edition Outboard Engine. Removing a lower unit on it?

Question edited for clarity, 'make model (white it is)'. Question moved from Washing Machines Category. Questions like this need the engine size, 5HP or 150HP? Best bet is to get the service manual, but videos may suffice?

115 yamaha sho vmax over 3500 rpm it reves up and down under 2400 it stays even rpm. 2017 yr.

If your 115 Yamaha SHO VMAX outboard engine is experiencing RPM fluctuations at speeds over 3500 RPM, it may be due to a few different factors. Here are some things to check:
  1. Fuel supply: Make sure that the fuel supply to the engine is consistent and free from any debris or obstructions. Check the fuel filters, fuel lines, and fuel pump for any signs of damage or clogging.
  2. Spark plugs: Check the spark plugs to make sure they are clean and functioning properly. If the spark plugs are worn or dirty, they may cause the engine to misfire at higher RPMs.
  3. Throttle position sensor: The throttle position sensor (TPS) sends a signal to the engine control module (ECM) to adjust the fuel and air mixture. If the TPS is not functioning correctly, it may cause the engine to fluctuate at higher RPMs.
  4. Air intake system: Make sure that the air intake system is clean and free from any debris or obstructions. Check the air filter and air intake hoses for any signs of damage or clogging.
  5. ECM software updates: Check with your Yamaha dealer to see if there are any available software updates for the ECM that may improve the engine's performance.
If you are unable to diagnose and fix the issue on your own, it may be necessary to take the engine to a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair.

I'm not getting max RPM on a 350 Marine inboard, it used to be 4100 now it's only 3600 rpm, I cleaned the carb and set the floats to spec but didn't see any improvement. carb is a 1410 Edelbrock

Assume you are checking the max RPM when not operating the boat? If so, might have a second tach to check the gauge is okay. Naturally, if you checked RPMs underway it would probably be a dented prop. Pete

2010 150 Evinrude E-Tech. Motor was running great then just shut off. Will not start again.Could it be it needes to be reset, all 4 lights at tach light up showing good.

first bit of advice do not use e-mix fuels in outboard engines WHY because ethanol separates from the fuel if not used continuously so letting it stand between outings is not good secondly ethanol is hygroscopic which means that it absorbs moisture from the air that is going in via the tank vent and that results in corroded aluminium parts and rusted fuel tanks and outboards operate in a very moisture laden environment now for the problem being a late model engine , it should be a 4 stroke and like any 4 stroke engine , check the timing belt/chain, crank/cam position sensors , ignition module it is important to check all harness connections as salt water rapidly causes corrosion in electrical connections and components have the service agent do a scan for fault codes remember this Suzuki out board 2 stroke motors were used in the early suzuki 4x4 cars and modern 4 stroke engines are simply car engines on end

1990 Evinrude 40 HP with no fire on lower cylinder, how to fix

Need to know more... is it no spark? or is it no fire? -- first check spark with a spark checker or by pulling spark plug out and grounding the plug then cranking to see if it sparks... if it sparks check compression -- if you have spark and compression its most likely fuel and you need to do lower carburetor

Yamaha 25hp 4 stroke stator Installed new one and it went bad in one day why

Check your battery wires. If the battery disconnects even for one second or the grounds are bad then the stator has no where to put the charge and it will fry.
