You can't get a true compression reading as there's a decompressor , easy start, built in these motors. The fuel pump also needs to be well primed to work efficiently on starting. Not bad motors though.

@@llsahdowll8800 not normal. More than likely what happened was engine was laying on side with carb full of gas and it leaked in the cylinders and into the oil.

@outboardfinatic 8 күн бұрын
So it can only go one way. One side has and L shape to it that goes in a square cut out slot under the flywheel. It’s where the trigger sits. You’ll see it if you look from the front of the carb under the flywheel. L shape goes up and the zig zag end clips into the choke linkage on the carb. Easiest way I can explain it. It’s actually really easy once ya figure it out
@outboardfinatic 8 күн бұрын
At 14:37 I show where it goes then and the position of it. Easiest way is to insert from the back of the powerhead and through the cut out slot and then clip it in the way I do. Hope this helps

100 percent normal. You do not want to keep spinning it tho counterclockwise while it’s in forward. Could mess something up in the gearcase. Reverse locks in and won’t ratchet. But you can always double check your in forward by seeing if it ratchets one way but DO NOT continusly spin it ratcheting

4 stroke is 209cc and the 9.8 2stroke is only 169cc. I have the 2T in a infatable suzumar 350vib and the top speed is 19knots with one person 15 knots with 2 persons and 11 with 3 persons . After that it cant go to plane so with 5 persons which is the legal limit for this in Greece you can travel with 7 knots and the throttle is only 1/4.... In your boat i think 9.8 2 stroke cant reach its maximum rpm 5-6000rpm and for this reason you say it is slow. Maybe your boat is too heavy or you need another propeler. Nice video !!!

I have the same Tohatsu 9.8A four stroke. Just got it out of a garage that it had been sitting in for years. Threw in a new impeller, oils, 9 pitch prop, plugs, and an entirely new fuel system (including carb and pump) for about $400 in total. Put it onto the 1436 flat bottom Jon... and it took me (215 lbs), my son and daughter (90 lbs each), my 55lb thrust trolling motor, and 100Ah Lithium battery... plus some gear... up to a little over 18mph. Should do mid-20s with just me in there. I bet that if the new 9.8C (fuel injected version) that just came out... really does have more torque... it would be an amazing motor. Especially with 30% better fuel economy. My 9.8A has a max burn rate of 1gal per hour according to the manual. Which means I am getting at worst 18mpg. Most likely more.

In neutral it should spin freely. If you took the lower unit off you have to make sure your engine is set to reverse and your lower unit is set to reverse.

Also if you were reinstalling it correctly and accidentally shifted the lower unit when reinstalling it’ll be out of adjustment as well

Thanks for sharing. I have a 1999 Yamaha 25 with 3 cylinders, found this looking for possible cause of why mine suddenly lost power while cruising at full speed. From 26 mph to 8, all at once. I think it's my gas line, have ordered a Yamaha part, seeing lots of issues around Attwood ones de-laminating inside and blocking the passage. I also may rebuild the fuel pump, which you showed well. Should be rebuilt every 25 years or so, right? I do have one warning to other Yamaha 25 hp owners - some (including mine) have 5 bolts holding the lower unit. I found another video that showed the 4, followed it and was dumbfounded when the unit wouldn't drop. It turns out that some models have a 5th bolt under the "trim tab", or anode above the prop. Very sneaky of Yamaha to hide that one!

While it will work fine both ways , Its not a bad idera to put the vent or purge hole on the primer cover facing out, that way if your primer diaphragm with age springs a leak it will easly visable as it will spray out of that hole where you can see it. everybody seems to have diffrent opinions as to what is the proper correct orentation of the new style plastc float when gets re-instaled. Am I being given bad infomation and yes it was ovious he had the float arm on upside down , I have asked 12 people and they all tell me diffrent things , for example , kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ61hGx3nahogas is his float infomation correct ?
