Thank you very much. I do have a manual (but it is not the Yamaha service manual, it's by some other company. IT's close, but I've found discrepancies). Anyway, mine says nothing either. I questioned it because I was curious if that larger hole in the top of that nozzle, lines up exactly with a...
I'm rebuilding the carbs on my 88 ELG 40 inline 3. These are Keihin BCK carbs. I am trying to determine what the proper orientation is for the main jet needle (nozzle). Here are a couple pics . This first pic is how it was oriented when I removed it. That large hole on the very top was in the...
Thx for the input. For my uses, I'm just trying to find the stock replacement. I don't have a tach. I did find the 10x15 G means 10 in dia. , 15 deg pitch and a 'G' .... I'm still not sure. I've seen it stated it's the 'cup' of the prop and I've seen it stated that it means it fits a 3.5...
I have a 1988 Yamaha ELG 40 2 stroke. As far as I know it's the original prop (or it was, until we ran it over some rocks this weekend :( ). Looking for a replacement and can't really figure out where to get one. Tried Crowley, but they said the ones on their site 'should' fit, but I should...
I did pull the impeller plate. No pieces in there. It is done now, and I tested it in a barrel and it seems fine. It 'pees' very strong now, and almost immediately after starting motor, whereas before it was several seconds before the stream started. Shifts fine. I'll be taking it to the lake...
Ok, one more question on this. As I said, this is 1988 ELG40. I have 'a' Yamaha outboard service manual that supposedly covers 1984-1996 2hp - 250hp. I downloaded this years ago, and I can't remember where from, but I 'thought' it was THE Yamaha published service manual. Anyway, The manual...
I've owned the boat for about 12 years. in that time, I've had the buzzer go off maybe 4 or 5 times. I shut the engine off immediately, and in a couple minutes, I start up and go and no buzzer. On the other hand, I'll trolled literally all day long many times, and it's never gone off. So...
Ok...so on to the next task. Finding and removing those pieces of impeller. So far I've tried
-back flushing from from the tell tale hose fitting on the exhaust cover
-back flushing from the thermostat housing(after removed thermostat and 'hoped' to find pieces there, but no luck :(
Then, I...
Well, I got it apart and it was the shift shaft. Unfortunately the old impeller(was the original, based on the bolts had no type of wrench marks etc), had two fins with chunks out :( So they are in the engine 'somewhere'
Aside from that, I have another weird thing now. THe impeller...
I'm almost 100% there are only 5 bolts here(but having never done this, I cannot be sure). I DO see what Boscoe99 is referring to in the parts schematic, but I think that '6th' bolt is the trim tab bolt, and I had removed that also. So 99yam40, I think maybe you got it. I do see this 'tube'...
