My 2001 Saltwater Series has been cutting out at idle and low revs for around 12 months. Doesn't worry me too much as it restarts reasonably quickly but my passengers get spooked, particularly when we are on blue water with no land in sight - so time to get serious!<br /><br />In this time it's had four visits to three separate mechanics and none of them have fixed the problem. The last visit last week to the so-called Yamaha specialist in the nearby town (150km round trip) and when I was checking it in I told him to look inside the carbies as this was the likely problem. When I picked it up he assured me he had fixed the problem by "turning the mixture screw". I'm sure the other guys did this. Big test run on the weekend and same problem but probably more cut outs - I assume the screw has now come full circle.<br /><br />It's going back to the "specialist" on Friday. Is there a simple test these guys should be running to see if they really have fixed the problem? What do I ask them to look at in technical terms. I don't have many options to take the work elsewhere. Please help!
