Re: 1988 Yamaha 130 Tilt sensor stuck - Can I unstuck it?
Keep me posted, my father-in-law have the same problem.<br /><br />I have put a lot of creep-oil/rust eliminator (CRC 5-56) on it, it won't free up.<br /><br />Inside there is a variable resistor that measure the position of the lever. I guess its that resistor that have corroded and got stuck/hard.<br /><br />There is a spring in it, my problem is that the friction is far to high for the spring.<br /><br />The plastic almost cracks when i force it. I have been told that the only way to fix it is to buy a new one.<br /><br />There should be like a small plastic spindel at the end of the lever, this is the part that gets pushed by the engine when it tilts down.<br /><br />My other problem is that one of the screws holding the sensor in place is stuck and won't budge, so I can't remove it. I guess I could trash plastic casing but since my nature is more like trying to fix it I really would like to be able to give it a try.
