    Very weird Yamaha issue

    Posted below is what Yamaha has to say. That is all I have ever heard from them about this problem. Again, they offer no theory of operation as to what should be happening and when, and what happens if and when things don't go according to Hoyle. Millions of things in life that I have to accept...

    Very weird Yamaha issue

    I am thinking that I would disconnect the CDI connector and inspect the terminals, particularly those for the yellow wire. Maybe then get a 12 volt incandescent bulb that has a current flow of about 5 amps when powered by a battery. Connect the bulb to the yellow wire on the engine harness side...

    Help...50hp 4stroke 2003

    When doing the compression test, was the motor fully warmed up, throttle wide open, battery fully charged and the gauge known to be accurate?

    Very weird Yamaha issue

    Good question. Wish I knew but Yamaha is very vague as to the theory of operation with respect to their systems. My guess is that it is to power the five volt circuit for the three wire trim sensor and other components that utilize five volts.

    Did you post your problem on another forum? Sounds very familiar.

    Very weird Yamaha issue

    The stator has different functions. Coils to charge capacitors in the CDI unit, coils to fire the ignition coils/spark plugs and coils to charge a battery. The coils for ignition can be working just fine (motor operates normally) while the coils that charge the battery are not. Or both coils...

    Very weird Yamaha issue

    Weird only to those that do not yet know. What you are seeing is indicative of low voltage to the CDI unit.

    Charging/fuel enrichment

    It is not a solenoid. It is merely a resistive heating device that can be powered by AC or DC. Powered by AC from the lighting coil when the motor is running or powered by DC from a battery when being tested. When cold it allows more fuel to flow helping to start a cold motor. When warm it...

    Diode Battery Isolators vs Relay/MOSFET Isolators

    OP says he sees 13.5 volts at the battery. Given enough time the battery will be fully charged.

    Diode Battery Isolators vs Relay/MOSFET Isolators

    Less voltage results in less current flow. Less current flow results in a longer time to charge the battery. Just like it takes longer to fill a 50 gallon drum at 1 gallon a minute versus 2 gallons a minute. But given enough time it will fully charge the battery.

    BAT 1, BAT 2, ALL Switch

    As far as I know the one, two, both, all type of battery switches have been make before break type for many years. Decades perhaps. You will need to find out how your system is wired. I can see a configuration where if you switch to the start battery the electronics will not be getting power...

    Diode Battery Isolators vs Relay/MOSFET Isolators

    What voltage are you seeing at the battery when the isolator is allowing charge current to reach the battery? Even with the voltage drop across the diode the voltage should be higher than the resting battery voltage, allowing the battery to be charged. It will just take longer.

    BAT 1, BAT 2, ALL Switch

    Not uncommon for two 12 volt batteries to be connected in series to power a 24 volt device while one of the two batteries is used to power a 12 volt device. Not uncommon for two 12 volt batteries to be connected in parallel via a battery switch, or a Combiner/ACR/VAS/Isolator, so that both can...

    No power to electric fuel pump

    "I have a 2005 Yamaha F90 TLRD that is not getting power to the electric pump in the vst tank. I have replaced the pump and it is working but I can't seem to get power to it." Why the continued discussion about a ground? All the ground in the world is not going to cause the pump to run if...

    No power to electric fuel pump

    If you do not have battery power to the pump then inspect for battery power from the relay. Only if there is battery power from the relay but not at the pump would I suspect a wiring fault.
