    04 Yamaha, Help w/Essential Gaskets/seals Powerhead Removal

    That seems to be the response of many.... "get a manual" Thanks! Isn't it the purpose of these fourms for the 'non' to seek help, or seek advice from those who may have walked this path before? I have a manual, SELOC only and does not detail what i would need. I do not have the $$$$$$...

    Help with #1 cylinder location- 2007 df250

    I appreciate it, just trying to confirm that the starboard head, top, is the #1 from what I'm narrowing it down to. The alignment dot on the crank is at the 12-o'clock, and the driven gear is matching. The starboard cyl. is just about at its' top travel with the alignment mark matching...

    Help with #1 cylinder location- 2007 df250

    2007 Suzuki df250 4 stroke. I rebuilt heads from water entry from a failed gasket and upon rebuild. My manual makes reference to TDC, but does not display the cylinder firing order, or #1 cyl location. I don't want to assume, but certain that when facing the timing marks from the under side...

    04 Yamaha LF225 4-stroke- "Oil leak"

    Update, I finally got to tear into this. Can anyone help me determine if the top crankcase seal is raised up too much on it's own, or is this the way it sits? I haven't had the opportunity to install one yet and not sure how far down it seats. Thanks

    Okay, will check it out. Interesting, have these seals moved in the past, or is common? given the amount of oil seen it makes sense. I'll get into it soon so I can see what's up. I appreciate it..

    04 Yamaha LF225 4-stroke- "Oil leak"

    So, I ran my boat ('22 Mako) today and still taking 'maiden voyages' & dialing it in till I feel it's 'reliable'. I trolled for quite a while then took some wide open runs (45sec.) and then cruised around a little. I discovered that oil, a pretty good amount, is coated all over my motor and...

    Good point. I'm in the middle of figuring that out. I'm a member of a few Mako groups and I remember a thread about "What's the best Prop". I'll have to search for it. Thanks for the heads up.

    Prop Shaft "mid bearing" part number help

    Okay, I'm an idiot. Sorry, the back of my unit has an 'L' indicating a left-hand operation. I should have looked and knew to do this.
