That is a no-nonsense easy to understand tip, and not over produced. Short and to the point. Thanks.

[peterenis]

Been working on yamahas a lot when I was living in Norway and this was always the first thing I've checked.

[xBeNx]

It is a good tip! Thanks! Btw if that oil rod breaks it’s designed to go to wot oil! So engine would run rich maybe foul a plug but should not harm the engine!

[fredcomploier]

I just found the same issue with mine. I bought a new part from Crowley Marine on line. Thanks for posting this, and I hope this reduces some of the smoke when I idle the boat.

[fragtagbaggers]

just checked mine and it was laying at the bottom of the motor as you said.thanks mate you saved me heaps of bucks

FYI
If the one to the oil pump/mixer cracks off or fails. It is designed at the factory to set itself to MAX oil mix. I have owned 4 of these 2 stroke motor from 115hp to 150hp, and all four have failed at some point. If you see heavy smoke at idle. Make sure to check these quickly, so not to carbon up the motor.

A 308 Win cartridge case neck makes a nice sleeve on the oil pump ball joint for added security.

[SolarBurrito]

Great tip. I loved my 90 for 10 years!

[rvlee]

Great information. I'll check all my plastic pieces tomorrow. Thanks for sharing

[BluzGuitarGuyFishing]

Thanks ! 'Been a bit worried about all those plastic parts on the old engine. Thankfully, I pre-mix.

[naturalstatepoolandspallc]

yeah, i ripped my oiler off and plugged the holes. i just mix my own in the tank now. no problems at all for last few years, but its an older 90s model yamaha 70. runs great!

[wallyfo]

Thank you for that tip!! I have Yamaha 115 as soon as I saw this I went to check mine, they are all cracked and one even broken. Mine cost between $3-$6 each. Replaced them and now good to go.

[FrankJohnson-re]

Great info, but thank God, the previous owner, an outboard mechanic, removed oil injection from the motor. 2000 115 2 stroke, running great still today 😊

[PUBGCL]

Hey man! i love your primitive repairs, those are really bringing me back to basics, function over looks! sometimes.. <3

[tenthconcept]

This is true for all plastics used to control engines. The plastic deteriorates over time with being in the heat, and weather and could cause you issues. At least every year, check the condition of stuff like this visually will save you from being broken down in the water. Plastic nipples used for cooling lines also fail as well. Be careful before removing as you might break it.

[thezimra]

thanks man... gonna look out for this tomorrow when checkout a new boat

[Shawnpmetal]

I literally watched this video when you posted it back in 2018 and it didn't mean crap to me until today. I'm literally going tomorrow to look at a boat with a yamaha 2 stroke on it. I'll be looking out for that now when I inspect it.

[j_rainsgoat]

I have the oil injection pump but decided to mix myself. Crimped the line coming out of oil reservoir with a zip tie. 300hrs later motor runs great. I never have to remove cowling and add oil either.

[speculizer]

Correct me if I’m wrong... but those oil pumps are designed to spring wide open up when it breaks as a safety measure.

Thank you so much from New Zealand!! You just saved my Yammy 90!!
