Thanks everyone
I have a 2007 50 hp yamaha 2 cycle on a G-3 boat camo duck boat. From the very beginning I used non ethanol gas. Would start idle and upon acceleration bog down. I changed plugs filters and took it back to the dealer several times. They suggested a fuel additive... No avail. This season took it out and it would only run on emergency choke. Came home pulled plugs drained the carb bowls and the filter. Fuel filter looked like it has small bits the size of Graphite in it. I decided to pull the internal gas tank out and run it thru a cloth. Very little debri. I tried sea foam to no avail on carbs. I am thinking that I need to clean or rebuild the carbs but have no faith in the place I bought it. Bottom drain plug looked all shellacked on bottom carb. It dumpe gas when cranked but the float seems to have become un stuck now.
Ok so I guess I need to pull the carbs. I think I can do this is it hard and is there a link on line about doing it and cleaning the jets? Have read topics on here for some time and feel this is a common problem with these engines. My initial research said they were bullet proof. This does not work and we will see how they handle a bullet haha.
Thanks all for any help crappie season has drifted by already.
