Rodbolt, I've finished breaking the motor in and have a little over 10hrs on the motor. The problem is that the initial maintance charge in my area is $200. Most of the things listed in my owners manual that came with the motor, I can do myself except for these things:<br />1. Battery - inspections (says owner can do) / charging (says dealer must do) Umm, why can't I and how would I?<br />2. Idling Speed - Inspection (says owner or dealer can do this one if I'm reading my manual correctly.) What would I need to do this procedure? Would my tach on my dash work for that?<br />3. Oil Pump - Inspection/Adjustment Manual says only the dealer can do. Is that correct?<br />4. Oil Tank Water Drain - Inspection (says can be done by owner) / Cleaning (says to be done by dealer)<br />Are all of these things doable by me? If so how and what do I need? <br /><br />PS. I can't find a repair/maintenance manual on my motor yet.

Re: Rodbolt - I have a new 150 TXR Maintenance Question

its no worry, the dots are two types, clear and filled. I camt remember which is which but it should read "Reccomended" to be performed by a dealer.<br />most dealers gun deck it anyway. I have seen 10 hour services that did not even start the motor.<br /> the big issue is do you know how to drain the water trap? do you have a battery tester or device to see if the battery is charged and the connections clean and tight.<br />on the idling speed I prefer my shop tach but odds are your factory yamaha digital is close.<br /> the tricky part is the oil rod adjustment, I dont recall the spec between the stopper and the pump arm off my head, someplace about .005-.02 should be close.<br /> to just check it you have to insure the bottom carb shutter is fully closed, not in the idle position but fully closed. two ways to do this. 1 is to pop the linkage off the stbd side of the bottom carb while checking the pump and two is to loosen the clip on the throttle cam and swing it aside. then back the idle speed screw off 3 turns, then loosen the top and bottom sync screws, then check to insure the shaft is closed and do your pump check. then while holding the lower closed tigthen the sync screw now while holding the top shaft closed tighten the top screw, now turn the idle speed screw back down 3 turns and hook up the clip. the arrow on the cam should line up with the middle carb throttle roller and almost touch it.<br /> if it idles fine and runs ok I opt for method 1.<br />the correct procedure for retorqueing your cylheads and all water covers is to loosen each one at a time and retorque. none of it is difficult and all of its in the manual.<br /> page 1-31 of the 05 marine technical guide gives a description of what the service entails by numbers. have a look at pages 1.30 and 1-31.

If I do all of these things myself will it in any way void the warranty?<br /><br />Oh and where can I purchase the marine technical guide from?

I have never heard of a customer performed 10 hour check voiding the warrenty unless the customer mis adjusted something.<br /> the part number for the 05 guide is LIT-18865-01-05.<br /> your dealer may be able to copy the pages you need.
