Yamaha 115 2 stroke oil issues..??
ok,
so i sent by boat to the shop and got a carb job done about 3 or 4 months ago, since then the motor smoked really bad like it was getting too much oil, I finally investigated it and found that the connecting rod from the carb to the oil feeder/pump on the motor was not connected, therefore, giving the motor full on oil all the time. I corrected that problem and a couple trips later I get a low oil alarm... i checked the reserve oil tank on the motor and it was low, I turned on the key and hit the primer switch and nothing happened, I had to manually fill the tank with oil.
I read somewhere that there is a tilt/trim switch that, when the motor is tilted up, the oil pump will not come on.
I checked this switch, not extensively yet cuz of the rain, but the little plastic switch stop is broken, I know i need to replace that part. but how do I test the switch??
Is there an easy way to determine exactly which part is not working without taking the boat to the shop??
