Having problems getting full rpm's.<br />The bottom carb is gummed up. Is there anyway to clean this with out taking apart the whole thing?

Sorry, Coach.<br /><br />To do it right you need to dismantle the carbs. <br /><br />Get yourself a manual and some carb kits.<br /><br />Good luck. :)

Is that the only way possible?<br />Only one carb is gummed up.<br />Any other suggestions?

There is no way around basic maint. Yamaha 60 is a $$ investment, about an hour and carb kit and you will save lots of money and protect the investment!!!! Very simple job. A manual is the way to go, if you are nervous make some notes as you go to refer back to. Good luck you will do fine! Brad :D :D :p

Well, the other 2 drained just fine.<br /> Nothing came out of the third. When I pumped the bulb, gas came out of the top two and nothing out of the bottom one. I am just guessing that is the problem.

Could be your float needle is stuck to the seat. You are going to have to remove it and disasemble to find the problem.
