    '90 Yamaha 115 Choke?

    Yamaha 115 Tilt/Trim Sending Unit Sticking

    The lever on my Tilt/Trim indicator sending unit is sticking. I have tried to spray it with some lubricant but, that didn't help. Would taking it off and cleaning the lubricant up and then using something like grphite be better?

    Yamaha 115 Plug Wire Comes Off

    Occasionally, while running along one of my plug wires will just come off of the plug. Although it usually just happens one at a time, it isn't isolated to just one plug wire that does this.<br /><br />I have tried putting tie wraps around the boot and tightening it down but, that doesn't seem...

    Yamaha 115 vs. 130

    What gives the 130 the 15 more horse's?<br /><br />I don't think the stroke and bore is bigger so, it must be in the carburation and electronics. <br /><br />Is it just the power pack or what? Anybody know?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />GG

    Cavatation Plate question

    If the cavatation plate is not visible when running WOT, should the motor be moved up? <br /><br />The boat doesn't porpoise when the motor is trimmed all the way down but starts bob if you try to get the bow of the boat up just slightly.<br /><br />Shouldn't the cavatation plate be right at...

    90 Yamaha 115

    I have a 90 Yamaha 115 that is extremely hard to start and is only hitting good on one cylinder, #3. I know this because once I get it started, I can remove all of the other plug wires and it makes little or know difference on how it is running. If I unplug the #3 wire with all others...
