Hi all,
My first post on iboats and looking for some Yamaha techies who can give some assistance! I don't believe in long stories, so going to summarize my issues as fast as possible.
- Bought a Yamaha 175 FS in 2016 (model 6FA)
- Motor blew up at 26 hours
- After a long song and dance with dealer, turns out it was a missing wrist pin circlip from factory?
- Took me almost a year to get motor back from dealer
- New power head was installed by warranty
- After motor came back, have still been having issues with the motor although it hasn't blown up yet..lol.
Problem:
- Motor will start and idle fine.
- However, it has this constant issue where after motor is warm, when shifting between neutral and either forward or reverse, the motor will cut out.
- I can run the motor for an hour straight, roll up to one of my fishing nets, and then if I shift to reverse to stop boat from heading into net, the motor will cut out.
- Motor will immediately fire back up if started again and then can shift to reverse.
- Will do this over and over again and I swear I have checked everything from injectors to fuel lines, all electrical, sparkplugs, etc.
Current status:
- I live in Northern Canada and so there is no readily accessible Yamaha dealer to check the motor out.
- Based on this, decided to order one of the aftermarket YDS Pro2 kits from online.
- This arrived and after scanning engine I see I have faults 124 & 128 for the TPS, 28 for shift position switch and 45 for Shift cut off switch.
Would anyone have some insight into WTF is going on here? I have check the shift cables and everything over atleast 10 times before scanning the motor.
Ever hopeful someone can help.
