My "new" '98 model 90hp yamaha is really weird to me. I have researched it and found that my compression of just 120psi on all cylinders is good and normal. I have also read about this "enrichment solenoid". This thing takes no little special tricks or knowledge to start. Pretty much any idiot could crank it up. I hate this confounded motor. Now my dad can borrow this thing and I won't have the fun of telling him how to crank it over the phone when he borrows it and making him feel like a moron, since he's retired and out fishing while I'm at work.
Is there any way to screw up this motor so that it's not so darned easy to start?
BTW, it's also very smooth on idle, acclerates smoothly, and has good power. Are there any other annoying characteristics with this motor, like not requiring a lot of repairs, etc.???? I'm unaccustomed to going fishing with no worries and it's very stressful to me........
Thanks,
JBJ
