1993 Yamaha 200 hp txrr carburated. Twin 200's mounted on Mako 261B. Normal rotation motor will not rev to max rpm. Runs almost smoothly thru 4200rpm. Sputters (kinda) and will not reach max rpm usually for that motor 5400. Cleaned carbs and replaced fuel pumps. Ball is firm while trying to reach max rpm. Could it be reed valves or is it electrical. Did not soak carbs but disassembled and spayed carb cleaner thought out.

How's your compression?

A common Yamaha problem is trash in the carb caught between the fuel fitting and the float valve seat. There is a bulletin about drilling and tapping an access hole for cleanout. Later carbs came with a screw and gasket for access. When it is down on rpm, look thru the carb intake and see if one carb throat has a smaller flow thru the high speed tube.

Ran engine at full throttle nice plumes from all six barrells. Pulled manual choke and engine bogged down. Sprayed extra fuel in carbs and that did not help. Fuel flow looked equal and plentiful.

My guess would be with the fuel system or carbs. There are a lot of little passages in those carbs and it doesn't take much to clog one up. That was my problem, well, one of them. Engine would not hit WOT, would idle OK though.<br />Did you check all of your filters? Can you switch your fuel connections between motors to see if the problem reverses itself? <br /><br />I don't know too much about the electrical systems but you could try disconnecting the computer and seeing if you can get up to max rpm's. (This engine does have the micro-computer ignition right?) When you make the emergency circuit, the engine will idle a lot higher. But this will eliminate the sensors from the equation. Maybe your throttle position sensor is bad. Although I don't know if that could throw of the timing enough to lower your rpm's by 1000.<br /><br />One other thing, have you checked your spark?
