    2000 Yamaha 50HP bad center cylinder

    Have another question. Center intake manifold, looks broken, but when I look for replacement they are the same. What is that. Factory? Same failure? Just a question. Weird looking to me.

    2000 Yamaha 50HP bad center cylinder

    I acquired a 2000 Yamaha 50HP C50TLRY with a bad center cylinder. Any ideas on how a motor that looks very well taken care of can destroy the center cylinder? I have a theory but would like to hear from some folks. Thanks for your time.
