    2000 OX66 225hp white smoke rough idle

    Motor has been running good, went last week to Tenkiller and it was idling a little rough and it seemed to be putting out a lot more white smoke than normal. Top speed was about 2mph slower than normal. I have always ran ring free and non ethanol gas. Thinking maybe a fouled plug? What do...

    2000 Yamaha ox66 225hp Maintenance question

    Love this motor! Runs like a champ right now. My question is, for the 2 stroke oil, how important is the Yamalube? I have a lot of friends who own yammies and they run the cheap quicksilver oil in theirs with seemingly no problems. I want to take care of this motor and do things correctly...

    Yamaha OX-66

    Hey everybody, I am looking at a skeeter boat with a 2000 Yamaha OX-66 225hp motor. I am very gun shy at buying another boat. My last one had a 225 hp Evinrude Ficht injected, it blew up on me and has caused me a lot of grief not only with the check book but with the wife. The man selling this...

    2004 225hp DI, no compression on #3?(bottom cylinder on right side when standing behind motor). I can not afford to take one to the shop right now, but I would like to diagnose the problem.

    Trim not working! 2004 225 hp HO

    On a recent trip to Ouachita, I was cruising along at top speed and when I reached my destination I slowed down and began trimming down, but it wouldn't trim down. Needless to say it was a long tournament. I tried every switch I had, on the front of the boat, at the console, the motor itself...

    Tr-21 chine walk

    I just bought a 2000 model tr-21 with an 04 225hp Evinrude H.O. When I get up to about 60mph it starts chine walking really bad. I know this boat should go faster. How do I get past the chine walk or eliminate it? Any help would be appreciated. It is embarassing to have this big boat and get...

    96 Johnson 115hp Faststrike

    Ok, I was on the lake last Monday. Heading across the lake my motor made a funny sound then died. When I started it again it made a clicking sound and it would not get up on pad. The engine would rev but it seemed like it could only get to just over idle speed. I have no clue and even less money...

    1990 Evinrude 115

    The alarm the on theboat is still going off and we can't figure out why. The alarm will go off steady for three or four seconds and then fade out. Then like 2 seconds later it will do the same thing. It does this until the motor is shut off. The sensors for the oil have been replaced. Whats the...

    1990 Evinrude 115

    My grandpa has a 1990 model ranger with 90 model 115 hp evinrude on the back. When he takes it out and the motor is running his alarm keeps going off. He has taken it to the shop and they said it was something with a sensor for the oil. They replaced the sensor and ran the boat without a problem...

    Whale tails on a motor, does it really help?

    I have been talking with several people at a sporting goods store where I used to work about the the fins that you can put on a motor that supposedly give the boat a better hole shot, eliminates porpoising, and I have even been told that it may add up to 5-8 mph to the top speed. Are they...

    1996 Johnson 115 Fast Strike

    One of the cylinders on my motor is not firing. The spark plug is good and the spark plug wire is good because it shocked the fire out of me. I can hold my hand in front of the other 3 carbs and I can feel air being sucked in. However, the fourth one blows air out and fuel/oil runs out. Where do...

    1996 Johnson 115hp FastStrike

    I have a 96' Johnson 115hp Faststrike and I have a hard time getting it to start. The engine will crank and crank and then it will sputter a few times before it starts. After it starts it runs great until I turn it off then it is hard to start again. It has new spark plugs and the fuel filter is...
