Hello everyone! I am in Freeport, Bahamas, and I have an inflatable dinghy with a Yamaha 8hp Enduro 2stroke. The engine year is 2000, and I am having a problem with it. It was sitting in the bush at another house for about 2-3 years without use. Now, when i run it at idle, she runs fine, however when she speeds up to a higher RPM, it simply will not pump water. I have eliminated the possibility of it not getting water in the first place, as I have reved it up in neutral at the dock, and in a bucket and using muffs and in all cases it still will not pump water at high RPM's. At this point I am desperate, as my local Yamaha dealer has stated they have no idea what else to try, there is a new impeller in the motor also. If anyone else has this motor or similar with the same problem and has found a solution, I would greatly appreciate knowing it. I realize that this is not a very common engine, which is also part of my problem! This is also my first post on a boating forum, so please be kind!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
