Tearing my hair out. Outboard has been to a Yamaha registered repair shop twice now and I have spent a day on it and still not found the issue.
Basically can hear it stumbling and misfiring when under load and when on the water means you can only run at half speed or less to get home.
1. Dealer changes plugs and cleaned carbs. Also ran it off a separate fuel tank so ruled out bad fuel or primer bulb/hose blockage.
2. I also took fuel pump apart and it looked fine but wasn't sure whT. Bad one looked like. Hugely simple bit of kit.
3. I also stripped carbs right down and cleaned each one
I can't tell but oil may be a tiny bit thin. Doesn't look like it's overfull though as it would be with fuel pump leak.
Idle is ok without being superb but under load is when its as issue.
Any other things I haven't though of?
