    1987 70ETLH not charging

    Maybe I said it poorly. I am saying that there should be no electrical connection between any lighting coil wire and the block.

    1987 70ETLH not charging

    Any internal resistance within the meter and the probes should be taken into account. But perhaps using the continuity function of the meter might be a better choice.

    1987 70ETLH not charging

    Set your meter on AC volts and put one probe on one green wire and the other probe on the other green wire. It is good that you are reading 0 ohms from either of the two leads to ground.

    1987 70ETLH not charging

    You are so far off I would guess that it is the lighting coil. D Did you measure it for ohms? Did you measure it to make sure it was not connected to the block?

    What third wire? There are only two wires coming from the lighting coil. Perhaps you are speaking of the one green wire that is jumpered so as to provide the tachometer its reference signal.

    1987 70ETLH not charging

    If you don't have a DVA adapter it is pretty easy to convert RMS voltage (what you see on your multi-meter) to peak voltage. Just some simple math.

    4 AC volts from the lighting coil is way too low. Assumption being the lighting coil was unloaded when taking the measurement. Have you tested the ohms of the lighting coil? Have you verified that the lighting coil is not shorted to ground? Bad input to the R/R equals bad output from the R/R.

    What you call the voltage regulator fuse is the same fuse that provides battery power to the key switch. If no battery power to the key switch, then the starter won't operate. Your model motor does not need battery power to run. Only to crank the motor. That is why when you disconnect the fuse...

    How to operate side mount throttle for 1993 Yamaha jet?

    My understanding is that the shift function of the 703 box controls the jet pump gate. Gate is in place when the shifter is in reverse. Gate is out of the way when the shifter is in forward. Gate is positioned midway when the shifter is in neutral.

    How to operate side mount throttle for 1993 Yamaha jet?

    The red button unlocks the throttle/shift handle so that it can be shifted into forward or reverse. That is an old box that has the toggle switch which activates the choke on the motor. Later versions use a push-the-key to activate the choke. The metal arm is the fast idle lever. Lifting the...

    How to operate side mount throttle for 1993 Yamaha jet?

    You don't need to schmooze us to get information. lol. The Yamaha 703 external side mount control box can be set as either a push to open or a push to close configuration. A toggle switch might be used to activate a choke mechanism for those Yams that have a choke. The key switch being pressed...

    2008 yamaha motor key switch won’t alarm

    Single engine Yams do not beep when the key is turned to the on position. As 99yam says, pull the kill switch and turn the key to the start position. The horn will sound.

    The four stroke Yams are weak pissers. Nature of the beast.
