My 1989 200 Yamaha power trim is not working I can hear a clicking sound when the button is depressed at the relay.My question is should there be continuity between positive and negative leads.According to the manual there should be-I bought 2 used relays as a result and neither one indicates...
Last night both engines trimmed down ready for launch-This morning port engine was trimmed to full upright position and now trim motor is dead.I have no idea how this could have happened other than a short .Question are there any possible blown fuses I could inspect.Battery has juice and other...
I am looking to change out my gas line from the bulb to the fuel pump{sun damage} same issue with the oil line-it is attached to a long oil line from the oil tank.From that connection to power head it is about the same length as fuel line.My question is-is that the same kind of line- size and...
I have a 2000 150 h.p. Johnson and I am looking to replace the gas line connected in the engine-unlike most outboards I have owned this connection is not located in the front with simple and easy access.The gas line goes into the engine itself with very poor visibility access.Do I need to take...
I have one cylinder not firing on my engine- the coil and wire was replaced and the old one did proved not to be working-Are there any other possibilities that could prevent one cylinder from not firing-all the others are.Thank you Andy
I have a 2000-150 h.p. Johnson.The problem has become more consistent and often.The first symptom is attempting to prime the bulb which takes at least twenty or so squeezes.On occasion the prime is lost during an attempted start up and has to be redone.Sometimes after starting the boat may...
I have posted an issue about my 2000 Johnson 150 h.p. two stroke in reference to overly smokey at low speeds and high oil consumption.The replies had a common thread{air leak} I now realize that when attempting to prime the gas bulb it takes at least 30 or so squeezes to get the bulb hard. I do...
I have a nice running-somewhat heavy smoking at low speeds-2000 150 h.p. two stroke Johnson.The issue I have is that it does seem to use a lot of oil especially at lower R.P.M.s.The other issue is, oil leakage after shut down.I am not sure if this is residual oil unburned and committed from oil...
I am wondering if the excessive quantity and burning of oil is typical of this particular engine.I don't have specifics however, being a long time boater,it seems to me to be unusual, especially at lower speeds.The engine runs fine -just wondering if there is any kind of adjustment ect.Thank...
I have noticed that my 2000 150 h..p. Johnson seems to lose its prime at the bulb easily.Now I am dealing with a bogging and surging issue at different speeds-not quite a stall out but close.Looking for possible causes. Thank you Andy
I have a 2000 150 h.p. Johnson with a new power trim unit installed about a year ago.Today I was out and when trimming up the trim motor would not shut down.I shut off the battery switch and eventually the issue stopped only to reoccur later on in the day.My question is what are the possible...
To make a long story short my 1989 twin Yamahas are hard to move when disconnected from the steering cable.Is there a method to help free up the engines ability to move side to side more easily?Thank you Andy
My power trim tilt motor just died suddenly,I can hear a very weak sound when the button is depressed and then completely nothing.I was told that these particular units are prone to corrosion and is not worth attempting to repair.If anyone has had a similar issue and found a inexpensive...
I posted this issue last week and received some good mechanical advise.The problem however still exists. The cranking is weak to start and then slows down and stops after 8 or so seconds. The starter and starter soliniod checked out,the battery is new and the cables are in good working...
I have a 1989 200 h.p. Yamaha twin engines the port engine has a weak crank when trying to start and then peters out after 8 seconds or so.I replaced the battery, switched out the starter and starter solenoid from the working engine and still have the same issue.Any suggestions on other...
I have a 1989 200h.p. Yamaha that was winterized after running great this past season.I always hand crank the flywheel a few turns before starting pre-season. The starboard engine turned as usual with a bit of effort.The port engine did not follow suit,it took a great effort to turn the...
My 125 h.p. 2004 merc runs nicely for 20 or so minutes and then bogs down to two cylinders.This happens each trip, when the engine starts out, its fine and then the same issue occurs.Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you Andy
Continuation of the trim leak on a 2001 150 h.p Johnson.The trim cap is apparently frozen, I put alot of pressure on the cap and it didnt budge.My question is aside from liquid wrench is the use of heat a viable option.Any tricks of the trade are welcome ,Im afraid of breaking the nipples on the...
I have a 2000 150 h.p. Johnson,the o-ring at the trim piston is leaking.. My question is, could this simply be one o-ring leaking making it an easy fix? I went to the local dealer and he showed me a bag with many O-rings.I would appreciate any advice before purchasing the cap tool...
I have a 2000 150 h.p. johnson I am looking to swap out the trim toggle button at the control throttle. My question is, if I unsrew the two screws on the control throttle together will the control throttle break open and expose the trim toggle button and wiring for replacement?Also do I have to...
