Hey guys.
My 2004 yamaha 60hp 2 stroke started stalling on me, only at idle speeds. works great when I throttle up. actually ran 10 miles or so last night and it ran great. but it still stalls at idle, been doing this for about 2 weeks now.

tried replacing the spark plugs - still stalls.

tried pumping the primer bulb while its running and it still stalls, not sure if its something in the fuel line like a bad seperator/filter or check or something.

I recently took a rag with some corrosion block and wiped and lightly sprayed some of the connections with the cover off, I dont know if this caused any of my problems but it started stalling right after I did that, but I just lightly applied some corrosion block to some of the connections?????

I just ordered some OMC 2+4 fuel conditioner to see if that does anything.
I have no idea whether the carbs need to be cleaned, water in fuel or other ethanol related prob, bad filter somewhere, or I did something when I was spraying corrosion block on the motor.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:confused:

Sounds like pilot/idle jet/passages plugging.
need to pull and clean carbs
