Getting Yamaha Malta outboard to ldle - Yamaha Boating

Sounds like it has a fuel restriction. Hook up a fuel pressure gauge on the vst tank on the motor to make sure you have 30-50 lbs of fuel pressure.

Hey Frank, has anything happened to this outboard? It might just be time for new spark plugs..if it is not running well, it might be time for a carb clean and set. ..no biggie.

This will be a good source of info for Yamaha outboards: http://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum/forumdisplay.php?37-Yamaha-Outboard-Forum

did you mop out the tank , fuel lines and fuel pump etc as water is bad news in a 2stroke ? when in water run engine and set the tickover ON THE CARB throttle stop ! see if it goes in and out nicely just above stalling , you might have to clean the carb again if water in tank !??

2 stroke ?? choking up do you mean ? what oil make and mixture ratio ?

May try some stuff called Goof Off. it works on most. if not try carb cleaner. If that dont work paint "Lemon" on the side. Maybe that will be a deterant.

Hi there, download map of Italy to a memory card, as I have done. Malta & Gozo are there.
At last I can travel around Malta without getting lost!
