I've got a friend that recently bought a 2 stroke 40hp Yamaha. It starts easily but then stalls out when you give it any throttle. I imagine it is probably the carburetor but could also be the fuel line, etc. For example, my 6hp Yamaha was doing something similar this Spring and I found a pin hole in the fuel line between the fuel filter and carb.
Will the connector on my 6hp fit on the 40hp? Just to take that out of the equation.
Anything else I should look at with these motors? Fuel pump? I don't think he has changed the plugs or fuel filter.
I'm having a bit of a moral dilemma with helping him with the repair as he keeps on saying, "maybe I should just buy a new one and sell this one to you".
