Hi,
I was just wondering if you could help me figure out if my compression numbers are good and if there's anything i can do to improve them. Also, what could have caused the numbers to be so uneven?

Thoughts? Thank you

Cant find anything on this. IS there a software tool for the owner to use to diagnose this engine? can i use the software tool used on the 2006 Yamaha 225hp 4 stroke to diagnose the engine or are the electronics different between the 2 engines? Is my only option in troubleshooting this engine to...
i'm the new owner of a 2007 Mako 212 with a 2006 Mercury 225 4 stroke with 400 hours on it. I've looked online trying to figure out if there's any issues or problems with this engine but couldnt find much about it. Other than following OEM maintenance intervals and changing engine oil and...
I'm looking to buy a boat with a 200hp yamaha F200TXRD. My only concern is the 1200 hours on the engine. I'm not really sure if this is a lot of hours or not on this 4 stroke engine. Thoughts?
Thank you
I've always had idle issues with this engine. A friend of mine, few eyers ago, tuned and adjusted the idle but it was always done through the linkage adjustment, where you turn the linkage stop to open up the carbs butterflies.
I've tried to do the link and sync per factory manual (I own one)...
I've recently rebuild the engine and I'm not sure where the fiiting in the picture connects to. I've looked in the OEM factory manual, the recirculation and bottom and top bearing hoses are hooked per manual. I have no idea where the fitting in the picture needs to be hooked. any advice?
After getting fed up with the finicky idle and some other issues with the engine(crack in the plastic fuel manifold) I've decided to convert to adjustable idle jets. Parts were bought from a 1995 130hp engine.
The only issue is that I'm having a hard time finding how to adjust the carbs. I've...
2 weeks ago i had issues with cyl #1 not firing. Bought a new ignition coil and didnt fix the problem. Started troubleshooting and by the time i was done, out of 3 good cylinders one was the only one firing right. Since unsure when the electronics were changed last time, I ended up buying and...
i disconnected the black yellow wire (kill switch) and check for voltage. I had 8V DC from the key switch to the the amphenol connector, with or without the key in the on or off position. Then I disconnected the harness thinking that it might be a key switch problem but the voltage dropped to 4V...

Re: zinc chromite then paint the outboard or prime then paint?

I've searched around but i get different answers and I cant decide which way to go with this. Motor was is fairly rough shape, paint wise, and decided to paint it. I sanded down the whole thing and since i had various spots where the aluminum was visible decided to spray the zinc chromite paint...

I've read some reviews and from what I can tell is fine to hang the motor by the flywheel. I would like to paint the motor this spring, to do a good job and paint every crack and corner, I would like to remove the transom bracket that bolts to the motor. My question is: can I hang the motor by...
Could the " 89 " on the VRO be the year when the pump was manufactured?
Since the motor is a 1989 I'm not sure if this pump is the original or not. While the pump is still fine at idle and WOT, I have very small leak around the cables that go in the pump. I constantly clean the oil hose around...
