Be interesting to find out a bit more, were you thinking of buying it? do you own it and can't get it running?

that is sad to hear, but they do not last forever.
what pushed you over the edge?
compression bad?

nope, just too much effort to get this thing going,
Ive got a 12 year old 30hp mercury Ive spent a zillion dollars on, only to have it still have issues and yes, weve replaced just about everything except pull the powerhead off.
I picked up, for $120 a running Johnson 30hp, yet to water etst, but it runs, starts, pumps water, changes gears, revs. etc.
So the yamaha is put aside.
Thanks again people
