Hi, New to the forum, thanks for having me.
I have a new to me boat with twin 2001 200 hp HPDIs.
Model Z200TXRZ
Serial # 6G6X104757
Prior to purchase, I had a Yamaha tech inspect the motors and they came back with good results. I also had a pre purchase survey done and the surveyor suggested that the scupper drain hoses be replaced before the boat was launched. In order to access the hoses, I lifted the oil tanks up out of the back storage area and onto the deck - one on top of the other. I now know that gravity will cause oil to flow from the reserve into the main tank. I had oil (on one engine only) dripping out of the exhaust. Thinking that I only needed to burn off the excess oil after re assembling and launching, I fired the engines up. The one I flooded with oil smoked a lot then settled down to be only slightly more smoky than the other. I let them idle at the dock for about 10 minutes and the engine quit. Now, I can not start it, It fires and smokes for about one second and dies. I would appreciate your advice.
