Better manual --Seloc or Clymer for '87 Yamaha 90?

[Dank]

I'm no pro--good explanations and illustrations are most important to me. I'm not planning any rebuilds, just basic maintainance / maybe carb rebuiilds, etc.<br /><br />Thanks for any recommendations!

I'd go for the Clymer. Seloc sucks! Just my opinion! Factory would be best, of course.

Hey Dank,<br />I personally prefer Seloc but many on the board prefer Clymer. It's strictly a matter of choice. <br />Backlash

Rick is right, Factory manuals are best since they<br />ONLY cover that exact motor. aftermarkets usually <br />cover many years and models and can be a little<br />confusing. my seloc covers all merc. 6 cyl from 65-91.<br />check ebay or your local service guy.

The Seloc manual is confusing. It shows picture of products from the 60's (2-stroke oil in a can!!) and it really doesn't cover my motor very well,so you have to read between the lines sometimes. I'd get a factory manual to cut down on the confusion with the old products and photos.<br /><br />Dutch

I ended up with both. For some stuff I find the Seloc more easily understood, while other repairs are easier with the Clymers.<br /><br />In the end, being able to read both gives a noice like me a good comfort level when attempting something for the first time.<br /><br />Obviously if you can track down a factory manual specific to your engine that would be the best option.<br /><br />Cheers.
