'86 Yamaha 6hp outboard ran fine since I had it for 8 years...still starts on first pull but after it ran for 10 minutes it died and now it dies out after two seconds unless I pull out choke...then it kicks back in (2 secs) then I put choke in...it kicks in for 2 seconds...etc, etc,. It will run on fast if choke is delicately placed half way or so...but will die once I turn speed to slow.
I put in fresh gas, I checked the filter...full with gas...checked the external fuel line from the external tank...flowing fine...I even swapped with another line to be sure...I slowly adjusted the rich/lean screw made no difference at all. I figure it may be a stuck float or perhaps the Ethenol has clogged jets or something?
Is it worth it to buy a rebuilt carb kit...($33) or just clean it up/soak it in cleaner... but I would need to wrestle the old carb out....it looks pretty tough to get at....not sure I could do it.... Or should I try something else??? Would anyone have the "tear down" diagram to remove the carb?
Any advise would really be great....thanks a lot! Tom
