Just wondered if anyone can point me towards nominal fuel consumption figures for a Yam 40 2stroke engine? Drawn a blank on't web so far. Just to be clear, 'consumption vs revs' rate is ideal.
Yamaha 40hp fuel consumption?

At full power my old one pushing an 18 foot KMV would do about ten bob a minute!

At WOT it will burn around 20 Litres per hour, if you get up on the plane, then throttle back but keep on the plane, say three quarter throttle, you can reduce consumption to around 15 Litres per hour. A thirsty but good beast!

Thanks Davy S. Just what I needed to know. Don't want to run dry far from land.

Have two remote tanks. When the first runs out, plug the other one in and head back.
(for the pedants, don't fill the 1st tank right up)
