Does anybody know what this is? it keeps coming out - then motor won't go more than 5 mph. I screw it back in - but it never tightens up. Should it stay loose - or tighten up? it sits behind the carburetor on the right hand side. 2000 Yamaha 250. Thank you for your time.

Wagner, can you clarify some things? Yous stated it's a 250HP in your post, yet the ID tag says 200HP. You stated you have carb's, yet it sure does look you have a VST tank (which means injected). You stated this piece is on the right side of the engine, yet that picture shows the left (port) of the engine. It kinda feels like we're getting punk'd here!
However, while your VST looks a little different than mine, it appears that bolt is one of the bolts that secures the VST, right? So... are the female threads stripped? Thread just the bolt in a bit and wiggle/pull on the bolt... does it come back out?
I don't see the correlation between that bolt and speed being limited... although it would actually be your RPM being limited. You likely have a separate issue.2000 Yamaha OX66 250HP SX250TXRY 61AX103847T
