My neighbor asked me about his engine that he is having problems with. Unfortunately if it doesn't run on diesel or say Mercruiser on it, I don't know much about it.
the engine starts fine, in neutral you can run the RPMs up but when in gear at around 1800 PRM the engine alarms and shuts down. I did a compression check (all around 120PSI) and changed his plugs which is about all I care to do on an outboard engine. I told him to have his brother drag a trailer from PCity and haul it to a shop of his choice.
Anyone have any ideas about this kind of symptom/problem with Yamaha outboards. I kind of think he is either loosing a cylinder or has a CPU problem.
