Good Morning All,

New to site and to Yamaha O/B's.
Acquired a 50 hp Yamaha 2 stroke. 2000 model year. Sat for 2-3 years idle with gas in bowl. Varnished up inside. Ran 1 can Seafoam/ 1 gal 1:50 mix to help remove varnish but still seems to miss when going from low to high speed throttle up.

Question is: How easy is it to remove the carb's and clean myself? What is the best solution to clean with. I'm quite handy mechanically speaking.
Trying to help a friend get this motor back in working order.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Jerry Y.

Berryman's B-12 is good, several other spray carb cleaners on the market, clean out jets with fine wire, air hose, new gaskets, O-Rings. Good Luck!
