  • Carburetor Cleaning/Rebuildon 2013 Yamaha 20HP outboard 4-stroke.
    Problem: The motor would not idle properly.
    Diagnostic steps:
    1. Pull cord with throttle wide open to clear any excess fuel
    2. Pull cord with throttle cracked slightly while holding rag sprayed with starting fluid to the intake.
    3. The motor started at that point and it was determined the problem it was having was lack of fuel (using the rag with fluid offered an alternative source of fuel).
    4. Removed brass drain screw from side of carburetor, observed fuel running out indicating the bowl did have fuel supplied to it.
    Diagnosis:
    The carburetor did have fuel supplied to it but was failing to mix the fuel with the intake air due to a blockage inside the carburetor itself
    Remedy: Remove and clean carburetor fuel passages.

You've save me many hours of trying to keep my engine running, plus all the time and money to pull the boat out of the water and take it to the shop. I can't say "thanks" enough. Thank you.

    Excellent instructions thank you!. I have a F15 CESH but expect that it will be almost identical to this 20 hp. Have a small stumble at idle which I suspect may be due to dirt in the low speed orifice. Very careful with fuel, but it is Florida, salt water and the motor is a 2011.
    Ignore these criticisms, from people who rarely do anything, but prefer to criticize others.

    I have a 2014 Yami 4 stroke that will start 1st or 2nd pull and revs wide open in N no problem. Has an intermittent miss in one of the cylinders. Went through and cleaned carb after previous owner let it sit with varnish gas. As soon as I take it in the water, it has a horrible intermittent miss when Im in gear above 1/8 - 1/4 throttle. It seems like it's going to die but never does. I just replaced both plugs but I believe it to be electrical because of how quickly the 1 cylinder cuts in and out. The top plug did appear darker but not by much (hence the intermittent miss). Any advice would be greatly appreciated

  • @stevemeisner4719
    @stevemeisner4719 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video, even 8 years later! I have a 2008 20HP and had to replace the carb. It came without the idle speed screw set so I am trying to set the idle speed. What is the best way to measure the engine speed? I have an optical tach, but am getting erratic readings. I have the reflective tape on the flywheel. Would a pickup on an ignition wire be more reliable? Thanks!! ...and, again, great video!!

    • @stevemeisner4719
      @stevemeisner4719 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nevermind ... I found another piece of reflective tape, probably from the prior owner. This caused my problem.

      I currently have an identical problem with a two stroke Yamaha snowmobile with a carb. Starts to spool up and falls right on its face. I opened the main jet plug cover from the bottom of the sediment bowl and it was filled with sediment. I'm guessing we both need to clean injectors, or jets in my case.

    Hi I have the same engine and after 10 mins of use at full throttle it bogs down so I go to mid throttle and when I speed it up it happens again usually when I hit a wave it triggers it to bog down. Do you think it's the high speed jet valve?

    • @icyfox2011
      @icyfox2011 ปีที่แล้ว

      Think about it. You're at full throttle for 10 minutes, all good and dandy. How could it be the high speed jet then?
      Could be a float issue if the float is sticking.

  • @koalajs
    @koalajs 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for the video. My engine died after coming of throttle and got stranded for 2 hours in the shipping lane. Turned out to be the rubber cap under the small jet come loose and caused over flooding. Spent hours trying to figure why it wouldn't start all because of the cap. Meh design tbh.

  • @lucashack5318
    @lucashack5318 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does using no ethanol fuel prevent this?

    • @icyfox2011
      @icyfox2011 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ethanol in itself is not the cause. Ethanol is a great solvent and burns cleaner than gasoline. Heck, I've been running 85% ethanol in my car for 8 years, the engine is clean as a baby bum inside.
      The problem is that ethanol attracts water. Where there is water there is gunk. That then starts building up in your carburetor, fuel lines, fuel tank and so on. This wouldn't be much of a problem in a car where the fuel gets used up fairly quickly. On the water however, there's logically more humid air and the fuel is left in the tank for longer periods of time, and that's why people prefer less ethanol in their marine engines. Ethanol free fuel stays good for longer. Fresh out the pump there's nothing bad in having a little ethanol in the fuel.

    • @supertramp6011
      @supertramp6011 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@vancityflyguy I believe the issue was that although I had cleaned the carb,jets and fuel system,there was still some deposits of corroded aluminium which I hadn’t managed to shift,lurking in some of the smaller passageways inside the carb- it would run perfectly for a while ,then another piece would dislodge and block the idle jet again. This happened many times,probably if I had access to an ultrasonic cleaner and an airline,I could have saved a lot of time and hassle. Replacement carbs are very cheap on eBay etc,granted they’re Chinesium copies. My carb is pretty worn out,so perhaps I’ll try a Chinese one and see how that goes.

    Wouldn't it be easier just to pull a carburetor completely off , you probably one of lost the rubber plug you would have been able to access everything a lot easier and spraying carburetor cleaner all over your carburetor and it running down your motor I can't be good for your paint. And I only would have taken another five minutes.
