HeyJoe, I am so glad I found your videos. Wished I would have found you a couple of years ago. I acquired a 1992 Yamaha 40 MSHQ. It’s hard to find information I need. It hade been sitting up for awhile and it’s obvious that when ever something broke the previous owner would rig something up rather than replace parts. After I replaced everything in the all three carburetors I had a hard time with link and sync. Part of the reason is there’s linkage or something missing to where the throttle is not triad into the CDI. Instead there’s a piece of stiff wire hooked to it coming out the cowling and I had to control the CDI by moving the wire in and out. Currently have to use it to control the idle then when I want to use the throttle I have to pull the wire at the same time. I’ve figured out and fixed the rest of the problems I found but I don’t know how or what’s missing. I’ll be checking out the rest of your videos. Especially since you covered an older Yamaha in this one. Mine doesn’t like muffs either I have to use the round ones and clamp them. I’ll be getting a set like yours now. Thanks for the information videos keep it up.

Thanks for the feedback, sounds like you are on your way to getting that motor going!

I feel like the tighter the muff the better.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Agreed!

[@JosephSmith-sg9yv]

I have 2 1996 Yamaha's and have the same problem . My collection of earmuffs is plenty. Each spring I try them all and you never know which one will work better. So you are not alone on this problem

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

I found the cheap round muffs seem to work the best.

[@saltydawg8988]

Hey man, keep on making videos. We need good quality content from people who know their stuff, and I appreciate your work.

[@saltydawg8988]

About to try the rectangular muffs with the dual flow on my Yamaha F90 2006. Just got the impeller changed, and hoping I’ll see that stream.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

I appreciate that!

[@MissDewar]

Thanks man. I've struggled with the same problem with my F200 Yamaha. Your video is very helpful.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Glad the video helped you!

[@isomaki42]

Excellent, I just bought the one that didn't work for my old Yamaha, and I debated on the winner but it was several more dollars, so I guess back to the store. Thanks! I think you're right on that twist and the circular muffs deliver more even pressure to seal on the runner up model.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Trial and error, This one was a bit of a challenge but finally got it lol

[@DylanGuzman276]

Great video and very helpful! I've had the same problem with my Suzuki 90 and yamaha 25. "After you go through a couple muffs, you figure out which one works best for you."

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Glad it helped, just got to find the right ones for your motor.

[@grega4450]

Great video. I have the first one. Garbage for my Yamaha. The cheap last one is the one that works for me.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Funny how much difference they make on different engines!

[@OGMoses_]

I’ve got the first 2 types you tested for my 130hp Yammy I had no issues using either but I prefer the one’s you tested first because the water comes in both sides.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

I'm glad you found one that works for you!

[@captnkarl4401]

I have a dual feed muff but it doesn’t have the flexible hose. Excellent video.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Thanks!

[@christiand68]

Very helpful review. Thanks much

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

No problem!

[@KennyFishbone]

"Muff out" ...good one! Thanks for the review

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Lol, thanks!

[@tenncutt]

What if you put muff #2 in a vise and gave it a muff adjust squeeze? My Yamaha 50 (2006) that I bought yesterday came with the round one but really looks like it needs a fairly narrow rectangular one. Good video

[@aaronbyers1391]

I was just breaking in my new Yamaha 115 and when I went to do the flush, I couldn’t get water out the tell-tale. I have the rectangle muffs! Going to upgrade to the dual hose muffs and try again. Thanks!

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Sorry to hear that the dual hose muffs work perfectly for me.

[@robprideaux3279]

I also have the round and the rectangular muff and the round it so much better

[@jimmyg3855]

I had to use a clamp on the second one too! On a merc 18 two stroke

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

It can be a pain but as long as you have good flow should be good to go!

[@stevedockery3534]

Great video my friend

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Thank you 👍

[@fishingwithfilitsa]

Nice video

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Thank you! Your channel looks great keep it up!

[@fishingwithfilitsa]

@@ExtremeDIYGuy Thank you very much

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

@@fishingwithfilitsa YOur welcome! I subscribed. I have a video publishing tonight of the final Boston Whaler restoration you might like.

[@fishingwithfilitsa]

@@ExtremeDIYGuy Ok thank you

[@tkongny]

It would be helpful if you were actually able to identify each brand and model.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

They are all generic. There are affiliate links in the description.

[@Jerkalip]

I had just the opposite results! Round one didn’t work. Rectangle on shot it out!

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Great! I would go with the one you're motor prefers! 👍

[@rotfan77]

I tried your winner and it didn’t work for me (2012 Yamaha ). Still looking for a solution.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Best to find the muffs that work best for your particular engine.
