Motor Removal & Install

[Blue_Runner]

If someone can post a pic of what this metal plate looks like I can check around the house for it.

Also, the oil injection was working fine when I had the motor removed. The previous owner had put a brand new oil tank on the boat, which I kept for the new motor.

I can live with out the metal plate.

CB and I will look at that linkage and see whats up?? Looks like it was taken off??

Thats why I did not think it workesd.

Also has the wrong plugs in it?? I will put the right ones when I get it running.

Hope to get a starter this week.

Thanks BR!!

I did replace the but I used the same as the guy before me, so maybe he had the wrong ones in??

Can't wait till you fire it up!

BR - I think this is what MJ is talking about.

MJ - my brother (in MA) just bought 2 1991 yamaha 250's (one is blown). He's gonna part them out. Both came with oil tanks . . . If BR can't locate the plate . . . I'll ask my bro if he'll hook you up.

BR didn't you use the same oil tank on your new motor so that wouldn't be with it right?

The metal plate (probably aluminum) that MJ is referring to is a clamp of sorts that screws down around the shift and throttle cales as well as the wiring harness where it passes through the lower engine cowling. Then the engine cover fits down over everything.

Yes CB is right, I have all the oil tanks and stuff so I am set there.

Doesn't that metal plate hold throttle linkage in place??...w/ out that it won't stay put to work against the spring on the linkage... :P...

[chumbucket]

No. There is a clamp inside the engine cowling to hold the cables in place. This clamp just keeps everything together as it passes through the lower cowling.

Okay. So we don't have to keep tossing the issue of the "plate", "clamp", whatever you want to call it, here's a pic pointing to the item in question. ::)
