Hello all! first time poster/member. Owned many Yamaha's in the past but this is my first Yamaha marine product(2003 f40). Very happy with the power and fuel effiency and love that i can can a conversation while driving lol!!
One little problem i noticed some oil/fuel streeking in the water while *****ing. one my second outing. I had filled my tank and left the fuel hose attatched while in transport(3 hour drive). Could the tank have pressurized enough to push fuel past my fuel pump? I took it off and it looks nice and clean. diaphram looked good to. I also took the carbs off and they where clean as a whistle, needle and seat looked new. Not thinking anything to do with carbs due to the fact if that gas was going that route it would run like crap. I changed the oil and ran it on the driveway all seemed good. Had a heat wave and i had left the fuel hose on again and low and behold fuel in my oil again. anybody else have any simialr dealings? any info would be great!!
Seeing as e-bay only had a pump for 05 and newer(55 bucks) and a local dealer, wanted237 bucks!ouch!!
Any input would be great thank you very much in advance. i only found this site today at work but i will try and get some pics on my past/other Yamaha's to show.
