Would anyone be able to recommend someone in the Northwest who is experienced at setting up older Yammie 2 strokes. My 50DETO could do with a check over, particularly on the ignition adjustment I think.
Whatever I do I just seem to be chasing issues. I suspect someone who actually knows what they are doing may sort it out in a matter of an hour or two.
Carbs are typically the most common problem. They require a tool for balancing to get them set properly too. Not to say ignition problems don't exist, but they are far more rare than issues with fuel.
I've used Clyde Outboards a number of times with a number of different engines and never been disappointed .
Port Glasgow, it 's a bit of a run but after Pennine Marine blew one of my engines up & then charged me the full cost of a service for the privilege I got picky.
They've got a fully equipped workshop and are decent blokes .
The carbs have been done. Ultrasonic cleaned etc and it is running better than it ever has. Reliable low idle. Great on WOT but a real misfire low down which is a right pain in harbours etc. Also it has a part throttle issue where it seems to open up on its own which is hard in rougher seas, you try to set a speed which is enough to make headway then it surges off. Thought it could be something on the advance linkage needing adjustment maybe.
I'll have another go at setting/balancing the cards.
