I just bought a new F40 and was wondering if there is anything in particular I should be aware of with this motor. It's a carbed motor so I've installed a fuel/water separator just to be safe. Is this a solid motor?
I got a new 2004 F40 at the end of last season. I am very pleased with it. <br /><br />I posted a question here before I bought it as I was considering a Suzuki 40 also. I got good feedback on the Yam. The Suzuki had EFI but strangely no built in flusher, was approx 20 Kilo's heavier and much cheaper. Lack of a flusher was the clincher as I keep my boat on a salt water berth.<br /><br />I noticed recently that Yam have now put EFI on the F50. It's only a matter of time to the 40 gets it as well I think. <br /><br />I do not use a fuel water separator. Is this a big deal?<br /><br />Hopefully the 1500 hour motors mentioned above were salt water also. I managed about 15 hours last year. Glad to hear I have a hundred more years to look forward to <br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Andy
