Prob wi oil inj. 90 hp yamaha
 

My 2 cycle 90 hp Yamaha has oil injection so I do not have to mix
oil. Apparently, when the throttle linkage on the carb opens it
causes more oil to be injected. There is a small plastic ball and
socket joint for this linkage that can easily break. When this
happens, it goes to full oil injection.
For things at my work, I have tried to use these plastic ball and
socket joints and find them to be too weak for anything other than
toys. I would not use them on anything I designed.
Perhaps, somebody needs to make metal replacements...........

smallest metal ball joints I was able to find had 8 mm balls, surely
too big. Making metal ones would not be difficult.

Maybe you can use an eye and a self locking nut on a bolt? Like the
merc throttle linkage.
