Yamaha 25L fuel tank, East Anglia

Stolen from our garage in Cambridge on Saturday night - Yamaha 25L outboard fuel tank, standard design, good condition if a bit mucky. There was about 10L of petrol in it. Not convinced the gauge...

You can get replacement straps and toggles from Inflatable Boat Supplies in Essex (IBS Boat Supplies (https://www.ibsboats.co.uk)). They're not particularly expensive but only come in packs of 4 and...

I'm not much off being a newbie to SIBs myself (but not the sea - kayaks for many years) and after one outing in a 4.2m Bombard with a 25hp Yamaha on a tidal river, I'd say definitely make the trip...

Yeah, I had a feeling it would be the carb jets. My first bike (Suzuki GN125) had very similar problems when I got it and that was obviously because it had been left sitting with fuel in the tank for...

Developments....

I ordered a new fuel hose and primer pump and gave the engine another shot this evening. At first the priming still felt 'soft', although the fuel filter bowl was full. I removed...

I should be able to jury-rig something to try a gravity feed fuel supply and see if that works out.

I've found the parts catalogue for the engine and the fuel pump assembly, which I think should...

Yes, I can hear a little ball inside, so it may be that. You'd have thought they might have heard of springs eh!!?

Thinking about it though, the pump was 'going solid' when I tried the engine...

Thanks, that's useful. It looks like it's not quite the same engine as the fuel filter is different - mine's a vertical one with a filter bowl that can be unscrewed to get muck out of the bottom....

Looks pretty decent, although I haven't particularly looked for air leaks (no fuel leaks though!) but you're right - I'll happily replace the fuel hose and bulb pump before I start mucking about with...

Unhappy Yamaha 25.

So Saturday was the first outing of the new inflatable (Bombard Aerotec 420) with Yamaha 25hp 2-stroke (built around 2000). The engine's been running fine in a bin of water and started out fine on...

Bombard valves & parts?

Hello,

So, playing around with the boat (Bombard Aerotec 420, built in 2000) on dry land only so far, and a couple of questions:

What sort of valve is used on the main tubes - I've managed to...

Yup, I think the offer of the outboard from Peter is too good to turn down. Accelerates my plans a bit but in a good way! :)

Hello Peter - can't be helped about buying through eblag, but I think the price is fair anyhow, especially now that you offer the Yam 25 at that price! You have a PM.

Cheers,

Andrew.

Hello,

So, I recently sold my sea kayak (a Tahe Greenland - 5.4m of glassfibre rolling machine :D) as it was just too impractical to store & transport, not to mention a bit antisocial with a...
