He said to connect the hose at the flushing attachment, but not to let the engine get over idle speed. If the dealer said to use the flusher hose and fitting under the motor's powerhead, I'd be having a word with that dealer person. The Yamaha owners manual, service manual, and training seminars state specifically NOT to run the motor using it. Only run the motor with the "earmuff" type flushers around the gearcase, preferably the dual hose feed style muffs. Bill Grannis service manager I had to buy the double sided muffs for the 115 - the single doesn't cut it. The rectangular type seems to also work better than the round ones. Don't know about the 90 - it's hasn't seen sal****er yet. I've got the double sided muffs, the best one's West Marine sells, with water coming to both sides. Maybe the impeller's shot. Today I'm going to put the engine in a big garbage can, fill the can with water and start the engine. If I don't get some water from the 'pee hole' then I'll know something's dicked up with the enging. -- Salmonbait Please have someone videotape your putting the engine in a big gargage can. I don't get warm feelings of confidence from the dealer where you bought that boat. The few times you have indicated the "advice" he has given you, it has turned out to be "unusual." You should have bought that Yamaha from Tri-State. If you had, by now you would know how to properly fog the engine. You are probably correct. But, Tri-State didn't sell Key West boats. The dealer where I bought the boat is not the problem. He's down south of Tappahanock, about two hours from here. I've been very happy with him. The local guy is a Yamaha certified repair facility in Dumfries. I got the name from Yamaha. Actually, getting the lower unit in a big garbage can is not that big a deal. Raise the engine, put the garbage can over the lower unit, lower the engine, and fill the can with water. I don't have a video camera, but I could take some pictures if you desire. Now, what about personal insults and name-calling, don't you think it's time to quit? -- Salmonbait Oh...I thought maybe you were going to lift the engine off the boat and mount it so its lower unit went into a garbage can, like I used to do back in the 50's with my 1-1/2 hp Eninrude outboard and later with my Ducktwin. I'm "conservative" when it comes to expensive toys. I wouldn't mess around with that engine until I knew exactly what I was doing. I watched one of "Harvey's Lads" change the oil and filters and winterize my F150. The side benefit is that those guys back the boat and engine into one of the big service tanks, hook up the computer, and run the diagnostics, too. "First...do no harm." WAFA defines himself - again. |
