We ended up doing the JBweld thing and it works surprisingly good.

And the upper gear oil seals became a problem. Could not get the housings loose on either motor. Did not want to break anything so we took the spring garter off the new seals and put them on the old seals and buttoned them up.

Our new motto is "Do no harm!"

Really can't get sucked into everything these 17 year old motors need.

Yesterday I changed spark plugs & fuel filters. Found that in one motor the filter element was upside down and doing nothing. Don't know if it was like that when I bought it or if my brother was looking at it and put it back wrong.
Not a big deal since I have 10 micron Filter/separators in line.

Cleaned the O2 sensors. They were not too bad.


Oh and my 2 cents about Yamaha water pump service.....give me a Suzuki...4 parts...impellor,key,plate,gasket...

Getting ready to launch Saturday afternoon.
