yamaha hpdi down on power. Running on 4 cylinders

HPDI yamaha outboards were great in their day but they are wearing out and if yours is not planing the boat and you have noticed it is only sparking on 4 cylinders, the problem is the neutral switch on the starboard side of the engine. The mechanism that slides back and forth is worn out.

Ben, how did it work out for you?

[@benfleye-craft9976]

@@mikejuby270 haven’t had the issue since and I’m running charters 3 to 6 days per week.

I gotta change my neutral switch. How does it come out? It looks like it has two screws but how do I get that metal clip out the metal clip looks like it’s under something else anything or come out all at once if I loosen it will it will come out together or do I have to do something else?

Doesn't the metal have to touch the metal under the flange?

What switch is this and where is it located? thanks
