I just bought a 2005 Yamaha F115 out of Florida and believe I've been ripped off big-time. I am attempting to return the motor, but I'm not optimistic that I'll be successful given the lies I was told prior to purchasing. The motor was sold under the guise of "my cousin upgraded to a 150HP, but this 115 ran great. He just needed more power".
Was told it did have a minor oil leak(claimed to a cam seal and would cost about $500 to repair) which I planned on fixing myself given I've done motor work previously. Upon getting it to Michigan and upright on a stand, emulsified water was in the oil and when drained, a total of a pint came out preceeded by a a large splash of water. This puzzled me because I would expect all water to be emulsified or if somehow water was introduced, it would all be separated.
Secondly, I was told the compression was strong and withing 10%, but I recorded: 120, 210, 150 and 180psi respectively. Finally, three of the spark plugs looked good, but the high compression #2 plug was crusted over with a medium brown(not black like oil issues would indicate) material. I haven't fired the thing up so this is all I have to go on, but needless to say if I'm stuck with it there is much to be repaired.
My initial feeling was a possible head gasket or bad head, but the high compression in #2cyl was surprising. I've also researched that a seal down in the oil pump or oil pan issue could be to blame for the oil mess.
Any experts on these subjects out there?
Thanks much
