    2 stroke power head swaps.

    Which one? The 50 was built on the 51 cid block and the 45 cid block. I do not believe any of the 3 cylinder Yamahas interchange with each other.

    Take it to a machine shop. This post has gone on way to long for something as simple as a heli coil. If drilling and tapping make you uncomfortable they are cheap to have installed.

    Need to buy a CDI for 1988 Yamaha

    I would try to find the cheapest Yamaha snowmobile CDI from that time period and see If I could make it work. The snowmobile aftermarket is a little bigger than the outboard one. I am pretty sure that Yamaha uses a lighting coil in the outboards as well as their sleds so the ignitions are...

    Who has installed Helicoils ?

    If you install the heli coil correctly it will work the same as a threaded hole. Should easily be able to put the bolt in by hand and then torque it. Make sure you drill and tap it straight. Head bolts are NOT a high torque area the helicoil will work fine. Just a lot of overthinking of...

    OMC 115 Turbojet Bad Piston Replacement Help Needed!

    Those motors are known for breaking the rings it is very common in the crossflow motors. That motor needs to be bored out and 4 new pistons put in it. Because if 1 breaks the other pistons are not far behind. Pull the motor and do it correctly.

    1991 Johnson 60 HP not getting spark?

    Have you done a spark check? Does spark jump 7/16" air gap. The factory manual will tell you how to test all this. A spark tester will cost $10 and looking to see if the lanyard is attached is free. A power pack that may or may not be bad will cost over $100. Your choice.
