Rebuilt 1995 Yamaha Pro 50

[Neil G.]

Hi, just hauled up my rebuilt Yamaha Pro 50 from the basement today.
Had motor rebuilt last September and have not started it yet.
Will get working on it this week, anyone out there ever just initially start up a rebuild and tune in a drum of water?
The boat is out at lake still and would like to get motor running, synced and carbs set up before taking out and mounting on boat.
Could take to local boat dealer and get serviced there but I've come this far and would like to finish it myself.
Any advice as always much appreciated, especially when I'm getting so close to enjoying basically a new Yammy P50!

Thanks

If you don't know how to setup a motor after a rebuild, take it to the Yamaha dealer.
It takes a lot of knowledge and testing equipment, you could wreck the engine real fast if you set it up wrong.
You saved a lot of money already, pay the dealer to get it right.
Most guys have a pro set the motor up, .

Totally makes sense, especially the part about wrecking engine if set up wrong.
Having a certified Yamaha tech do it sounds like a good way to go now.

Thanks
