I?m reading the Yamaha owner?s manual and they say, ?The Yamaha fuel tank sensor is different from a conventional-type sensor. A wrong setting of the selector switch on the meter will give incorrect readings. Consult with your Yamaha dealer for correct settings.?
Where is this Selector Switch and how do I adjust it?
The reason I?m asking is that on Sunday we went out for a ride over to the marina for fuel and the gas dock was full, so I went down a lagoon and waited. That?s when the engine died. I couldn?t get it to stay running like it was out of fuel, so I went to the back and tried to prime the fuel bulb which was soft. Realizing that I was out of fuel in the Main tank, I switched over to the Auxiliary tank and the primer bulb pumped fuel up to the engine and it ran fine. Even thought the main tank was empty, the Yamaha digital fuel gauge still showed two bars or 1/4 of a tank! Getting to the gas dock I put 30 gallons into the Main tank and it then showed around 1/2 of a tank (on a 90 gal tank). The boat?s a ?97 23 Grady w/ ?97 Yamaha ox66 250, if it helps.
Your input is greatly appreciated.
