Default Re: BS, or anyone, Power tilt problem

Ok I am all fixed!! ;D

After talking two everyone in the world, 99% said they thought it was the relife screw leaking by?

But it doesn't move I tell everyone?? I talked to a old time yamaha guy and he said that he had one that did not move eaither and it was that screw that was causing the problem.

I guess when the O ring was new it did not need that much tightening, And after years has worn some.

When I was at my brothers I tryed to lift the motor by hand as it was low on fluid, When all of the sudden it poped like something broke and went up.

Well today I went out there with a flat screw driver bit for a 1/2" impac wrench.
Put on the screw and 3 good hits with the hammer and the screw broke free!

I sprayed with PB Blaster and worked it back and forth back and fourth a bunch of times.

before it broke lose it was at lets say 3:00 position, when all was done it was at the 5:00 position and the thing works great!!

No more leaking of any kind. To think I almost spent $300 on ebay yesterday :o

But I am watxching the parts motor, I want it for all its parts!

Thanks ALL!!!!!!!!! Now Its time to start fishing! ;D :D ;) :)
