    Put a pretty good size blob of grease on your bit...shavings stick to that.

    1998 Johnson 115 Fast Strike Vapor Separator Tank (VST) bypass?

    Not sure what that picture is. I thought maybe you have a ficht motor....in your breakdown there's clearly a vro2 on the right side. Also shows a small pulse pump and a vst. Throws me for a loop.

    Need HELP identifying motor first

    Looks like you posted the same question twice so looks like an innocent mistake. Those numbers don't help us. Post photos of your engine and we can get you close enough.

    Temperature Switch OMC p/n 0386686 Test

    Yes, not my specialty...typically it's just a ground switch. Not sure on yours....mid wire patch through? I don't get the point. One thing though, you can't get continuity from ground wire to cold sensor. Sensor needs to be hot to complete connection. Make it hot and plug in the tan wire, should...

    2003 f40 carburator four stroke.

    Okay, answered my own question...so if any one needs this info later, the brass bushing must come out. After heating it 3 times with a heat gun I pulled on it with this tool. Once out, its all down hill from here.

    TACHOMETER ACCURACY

    Just cus I have to ask, it's not overrevving from a bad prop or anything? Otherwise, tachs die, rectifiers on you engine go bad and what got me recently...a bad ground on my tach.

    TACHOMETER ACCURACY

    You need an old school test prop. The tanks are fairly large and have a vent fan.

    You need a test tank and prop to do that accurately.

    2003 f40 carburator four stroke.

    Hi, Old fishing friend of mine got this Yamaha 4 stroke tiller from his neighbor. Long story short it sat outside for three years. Compression is 175 or so and the only thing I could really find wrong was 2 of the 3 carbs were locked up. Got them off and eventually got them working. Ordered new...

    Is this a "new to you" tach? Pulse settings correct?

    Sputtering Johnson V4 90hp - 1994

    You can do it by ear....should be high in the barrel and quite a bit less in the lake. As long as it's not slamming into gear when shifting.

    What are you idling at in your driveway rpm wise? Throat of the carb is grabbing some of your carb cleaner...even if the bowl had a seal problem it would just leak. 1100 out of the water Post compression numbers. Idles probably to low.
