    Selva/Yamaha f60 efi spark issue

    Yamaha T60 EFI models use a engine control unit (ECU) assembly. No CDI assy. Stator is not in the loop with respect to ignition. The pulser coil tells the ECU when to terminate the ground to the ignition coil to cause it to discharge electrical power into the spark plug. Is the ECU receiving...

    Question: 115 / 130 V4 yamaha 2 stroke carburator adjustments

    Not sure I am following you. If turning the screw outward provides more fuel while turning the screw inward provides less fuel, that equates to it being a fuel/air mixture screw. It varies the fuel/air mixture. But yes, the adjustment is made to achieve best idle characteristics. Fuel/air idle...

    Dual battery or booster pack?

    No different than anything else that a motor maker specifies. Ok to use non OEM products "IF" they meet specifications. "IF" the Relion battery continues to meet Mercury's specifications then it "should" be OK.

    Negative. Mercury Marine approves the use of any lithium battery that meets the specifications set for in the service bulletin. A battery by Relion happens to meet the specification.

    Dual battery or booster pack?

    Mercury Marine has issued a service bulletin that approves a number of their models for use with lithium starting/dual purpose batteries where the alternator of the motor does all of the charging. I suppose that on the basis that Mercury says it is OK, many Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and Evinrude...

    I got a Yamaha electric starter on eBay (new) but it doesn't show how to connect the electrical cables

    The OEM's will certainly agree with you as to that advice. If a guy does not need 100% quality, when 50% quality works for him, why spend the money?

    I got a Yamaha electric starter on eBay (new) but it doesn't show how to connect the electrical cables

    Agreed. If we are talking about a lesser quality part. To me it depends upon the particular part(s) and its intended application. If a component of an electrical starting system fails on a motor that also has manual cranking capability (OP's configuration) that would not be the end of the...

    I would think a sticky bush button momentarily on switch would be more likely to be the cause of the relay acting up.

    I got a Yamaha electric starter on eBay (new) but it doesn't show how to connect the electrical cables

    But when a non OEM product is 80% as good as the OEM product, but a quarter of the price, it might make sense to go non OEM.

    I got a Yamaha electric starter on eBay (new) but it doesn't show how to connect the electrical cables

    Have you independently tested the relay by directly jumpering battery to it? While observing the power circuit with an ohm/continuity meter.
