Remove oil injection

[macojoe]

Hi Guys!! It is time for me to get that Yamaha runing. <br />After reading all the post about older motors and injection systems I have decided to remove mine and mix the gas.<br />Question is I have a 1989 Yamaha Modle #175ETXG What do I need to do to remove this??? <br />Is it as simple as disconecting the alarm and un pluging the remote oil tank or is there moe to it then that?? <br />Thanks alot !!

Re: Remove oil injection

this is not a specific answer, but since no mechs have replied yet, i thought i should mention that according to older posts, the yamaha had OI behind the carbs, so it might require different jetting for you to do this. <br /><br />in other words, the orig system didn't have the mix done prior to getting into carb like many others, and going to a 'richer' mix than is orig through the jets will affect performance. <br /><br />and its been posted that the yammie had a great OI system.<br /><br />now, whether this applied to yours or all yammies i don't know. you might even use the "search" feature at top of window to look for old posts on "yamaha oil injection", or just wait for more replies.<br /><br />ps: my pop is still running the 85 115 yammie just as he bought it new, and has never had the first problem with his motor.

Thanks Ebb I just bought this motor in the fall and not used it yet. I did hear it run did the compression test temp test check oil lower unit everting I could. Seems to be a great motor. But I was told the oil works just fine. and your rt it does not mix with the fuel so this may cause a problem?? I have doen some searching but no specific answers yet. <br />Maybe I will leave it alone but I will see if anyone else can inlighten me some more.<br />Thanks again

Re: Remove oil injection

if i could remember the specific topic name, i'd sure tell you. i remember a user with "capt" or "captain" in their name wrote it, and they were actively working a marine shop... if i get a chance i'll run a search. i bet they're still here though. you will need to study up on the couple of sensors related to the tank & buzzer, and clean the screen sometimes.
