    1998 115 (E115SLECM) VRO leaking fuel

    I went and ordered a conversion pump, it was $125 from the local shop I usually get my parts from. They used to be an OMC dealer, good folks, have tons of used parts, so I usually order from them even if I pay a little more. I'm going to pull the old pump, might rebuilt it.. will see. For now...

    1998 115 (E115SLECM) VRO leaking fuel

    Just stopped by the local shop I've used for years, they were a Johnson/Evinrude dealer for years now sell Yamaha.. Anyway, owner (mechanic) told me that maybe 50% of the time the VRO kit fixes the leak due to wearing on the housing, not that the parts are substandard. I have nothing to go on...

    1998 115 (E115SLECM) VRO leaking fuel

    I'll pull it and order the OEM rebuild kit. I can't complain the thing is 27 years old, not many mechanical items these days last anywhere near that long. It will be a few weeks before I get to it, will report back with results. Thanks for the input and help, great forum!

    1998 115 (E115SLECM) VRO leaking fuel

    Boat has sat more than it's been used unfortunately. I see that you can get the OEM fuel side rebuild kits, any experience with these? I'd also thought about rebuilding and then just going to pre-mix. I'm more concerned that the oil portion is next to fail, so am I better off disabling the oil...

    1998 115 Evninrude E115SLECM Testing the Rectifier

    I did reconnect everything back up and my tach worked, engine ran didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. But when I went to disconnect the battery the positive side was super hot. I did buy a new rectifier and when doing the tach test above I got 1.7M ohms, vs 10.5K ohms on the original...

    1998 115 Evninrude E115SLECM Testing the Rectifier

    Thanks Vic. So here are my results 1. Diode plate check: On the diode scale, going from the red wire to the yellow I get a reading one way. Same with ground to the yellow, although the numbers are not the same from yellow wire to yellow wire (both red wire and from ground) On the ohms...

    1998 115 Evninrude E115SLECM Testing the Rectifier

    Right, and I went back and tested it again. From the red lead coming off the regulator and it does block in one direction, then tried it from ground and it blocked in one direction. How about the tach, how do I test the tach lead coming off the regulator?

    1998 115 Evninrude E115SLECM Testing the Rectifier

    I'm not getting a tach reading and none of my guages are working. Motor starts and runs, I took my meter, put it on diode test, connected one lead from the MM to yellow wire pins in the connector, other to the red lead coming out of the rectifier. For both yellow leads I got 393 reading on the...

    98 Evinrude 115 (E115SLECM) Not going into gear

    Thanks, so when you say it should shift easily when it's running are you saying it will be difficult to shift when not running? Sorry just want to make sure I understand. I tried moving it with pliers with the cable disconnected but didn't want to force it and I can't really see the shift...

    98 Evinrude 115 (E115SLECM) Not going into gear

    The shift cable is not broken, when disconnected from the motor it seems to move normally. Sorry, seems most of my post didn't post.. The boat has been setting for the last 2 years on the lift. Got it prepped to put back on the trailer, backed it out of, and went to put in forward gear and...

    Getting no beep when turning the key

    I just had the same thing and spent a few days chasing it. If the battery load tests fine, check the voltage drop from the cables just like saltchuck suggested. But that won't rule out the starter. In my case, the voltage drop was double what was expected, tried another cable, and got the same...

    The boat has been setting for the last 2 years on the lift. Got it prepped to put back on the trailer, backed it out off the lift and went to put in forward gear and it's like it's in neutral

    2015 Yamaha 150's Over Temp Alarm (both engines)

    Little background, both engines have less than 120 hrs on them now. I had the 100 hr service done @ 100 hrs, I do flush the motors after every use. Took the boat to the key's for a week and the 1st day out on the way in I get an over temp alarm on Engine 2, so I immediately shut down both...
