Yamaha 25hp problem (Needs Advice)

I got a 2008 yami 25hp two stroke problem and hoping some of you folks could help me before I take it to the shop… as soon as i crank the motor, it seems like it’s ideling rough n have to boost up the throttle to get it to run smoother but still minor rough, when i put in forward or reverse, it would only run when throttle is in half to full…if i let it go lower than half, it would start running rough until it cuts off… i’m not sure where to start… ( I will replace spark plugs tomorrow and replace the gas first (100/1 mix) to see where it would take me)

any advice would be great…thanks:smiley: or loved to receive advice over phone #817-3979 pete

Check your spark to both cylinders first. Also look for any ‘spark-leaks’, most easily found while running engine w/ the cover off and in the dark.

If plugs and spark seem consistent, might want to look into the carbs from there.

Sounds like plugs to me too.
Also
Use only a factory Yami gas line assby. Fuel plugs on after market ones are not tight fitting and are apt to catch air. Gave me issues sort of like that once.

I have the exact same issue just come up w my 60hp yam 2stroke. Started just after trip to the shop where it got new plugs and crankcase oil. I am worried my fuel got contaminated. I don’t go out a lot. Or maybe the ethanol being used now is causing problems. New plugs are NGK. I an using sat bill fuel treatment now and will differ plugs too. Probably going to replace fuel line and bulb too. I read newer stuff on market is ethanol resistant. Will post if I find something working well.

sounds like junk in the idle circuit in the carb to me

Could it be an ethanol issue b/c my 40 does the same thing?

i’m thinking bad gas is the reason, it might have water init because i went gigging, tired as hell and have to go to work in few hour so i did a getto wash with all my equipment still on the boat (including the 6 gallon gas tank…) i still haven’t have a chance to play with it yet cause of long work hours but will stop by Chris-V to pick up some ngk plugs tomorrow morning so have em ready Chris cause i’m comming.:smiley:

Hmmmm New spark plugs and fresh gas but still acting up…one thing i notice the throttle is harder to turn esp when not in gear!..now what

any website that pinpoint the location of each part?
