    Johnson VJ90TLESB, tell tale cooling stream too hot to put hand under

    I was running my engine, 1990 90 Hp Johnson, on ear muffs. For the heck of it, I decided to put my hand in the stream. Wow, it was super hot!!! Is it supposed to be this hot? The stream is very strong, but it is also very hot! In contrast, the stream on my 2005 Yamaha 2 stroke is cool to the...

    constant alarm, 2005 60TLRD, oil level good, engine not hot

    I was out cruising today, doing about 4000 RPM for 30 minutes. When I was 200 feet from my dock, I went down to 1000 rpm. Just when I reached the dock, the alarm sounded. I thought it might be overheat, so I shut the engine down. After 30 minutes of air cooling, the engine was not warm to the...

    oil pump not working after removal, 60TLRD

    I disassembled my engine because I had to hone a cylinder. When I removed the oil pump, a small brass colored disc came out. I think I assembled the oil pump correctly, but now it does not pump (oil level doesn't go down at all after being on the water for 2 hours). I mixed oil in my gas just in...

    do these lower unit pictures look right? 60TLRD

    I'm worried that I'm missing something for my exhaust system. Where the lower unit attaches to the midsection, there is no gasket or seal. So, I'm thinking that some exhaust gas goes out the propeller, but some goes out the gap between the lower unit and midsection. Is this per design? Can I put...

    is there a way to backflush the cooling system, 2005 yamaha 60TLRD 2 stroke

    I put in a new water pump 3 weeks ago. Just after I did, the tell tale water hole was pumping out water very fast and strong while idling. Yesterday, water was coming out but not as fast. I don't know if my flow through the engine has been restricted or if the tell tale has become restricted. Is...

    any way to quiet an exhaust system, yamaha 60TLRD

    The other day a yamaha 90 Hp 2 stroke passed me and it seemed very quite compared to my 60 Hp yamaha 2 stroke of same style (year 2005, TLRD family). Can I do something to channel my exhaust completely out of the propeller? I took off the lower unit and there is no sealed tube coming from the...

    Can an overheated engine cause charge coils, stators, etc, to fail? Yamaha 60TLRD

    My engine became overheated and I lost compression in #2 cylinder (no oil was the cause). I rebuilt the engine to regain compression, but now I'm discovering that my ignition system has some problems. I have a DVA and did some trouble-shooting, but my results were a little troublesome. I get...

    charge coil good resistance, but bad voltage; is this possible? Yamaha 60TLRD 2005

    My boat is limited to about 1500-2000 RPM when WOT. I cleaned the carbs, have new gas, good compression in each cylinder, but my spark is weak on cylinders 1 and 3. Cylinder 2 is strong for some reason. I changed the ignition coils to cylinder 2, and all work good. I changed the power pack ($500...

    2005, 60 Hp, TLRD: under load cannot get more than 2000 RPM

    I just cleaned my carbs and re-installed, but I am still only getting 2000 RPM in forward. In neutral, I can momentarily rev the engine up to 4000, but under load I cannot get more than 2000 RPM. The engine is idling rough also. Should I try to clean the carbs again? I didn't use a rebuild kit...

    Yamaha 60 TLRD, water coming out of 2 holes in the rear of the mid section?

    I was running my engine on ear muffs, and noticed that water was coming out of the 2 holes in the rear of the midsection. Is water supposed to come out of here, or is my cooling flow path screwed up? I recently removed the power head and reinstalled it, so the cooling flowpath could have been...

    2005 Yamaha 60TLRD 60 Hp, I need some help wiring my engine

    I removed all of my wiring to repair a scored cylinder, and now I'm having a hard time getting it back together. The trim and tilt won't work. The tech manual drawings are basically worthless. Does anyone have better schematics than the so called tech manual?

    2005 yamaha 60 hp TLRD, crankcase assembly sealant

    I took apart my engine to hone cylinder #2. Now I have to assembly the lower crankcase to the cylinder block. I don't think there is a gasket, but do I need to coat the surfaces with some type of liquid gasket sealant?

    yamaha 60 Hp TLRD 2005, pulled the power head and shift rod came out

    I thought I released the shift rod when I removed the cotter pin from a cam, but I have the power head up about an inch and the shift rod came with it. I see that there is a very small cotter pin directly below the power head that is tough to get to and is very small, so I'm a little hesitant to...

    60 hp, 2004 yamaha, stuck power head

    I have a tech manual, and I'm trying to remove the power head. I removed 8 bolts that hold the power head on, but it just wont' come off. I have a come along and the rear of the power head will come off, but the front won't. I have about 1" of clearance at the rear of the power head and lower...

    Yamaha 60TLRD no compression #2 cylinder

    I don't have any compression in #2 cylinder. I had a couple of boat repair guys stop by and one thinks it is a broken piston rod and the other thinks it is a broken piston ring. I've never rebuilt an engine before, but if it is a rod or ring, could this be a job I could do, or does it take...

    Water stuck inside pontoon after draining?

    I have a 2005 21' pontoon with a 60 hp Yamaha. I've been battling pin holes in both pontoons ever since I bought it used about 5 months ago. Yesterday I picked the boat up in my lift and it was tilting to port. This has happened before to me, so I'm aware of the process: remove the drain plug...

    How do I know if my carb butterfly valve is full open

    I have a 2004 TLRD 60. I tuned my engine per the service manual, but when my throttle is WOT, it seems like the carb linkage only moves a very slight amount. I could still open my carbs more by hand, but isn't that overriding the linkage? The cam that moves the carb valve is only about mid way...

    Yamaha 2004 TLRD 60 HP gas coming out of port in side of carb

    My engine feels like it is running on 2 of my 3 cylinders. While on the river, I used my timing light and all three cylinders were firing. I then looked around the engine and saw a bunch of gasoline coming from a port in the side of my #1 carb! It was a steady stream, and more than a trickle...

    Where to buy correct gas tank suction pipe?

    I just bought a used 21', 2005 pontoon boat with a 60 Hp yamaha 2 stroke. The gas tank is a 29 gallon Moeller. I was not able to prime the suction line with the squeeze bulb, so I removed the suction pipe from the gas tank and to my surprise the suction pipe was completely deteriorated! It only...

    can someone give me a hint on how the 60 HP yamaha TLRD fuel system works?

    I have a service manual on order, but I'd like to get the boat on the water ASAP. I traced the fuel system from the fuel tank to the carbs but I don't know what part is the fuel pump? I see the fuel filter, and there seems to be 2 other parts, but I don't know what they do. Where is the oil...
