I have recently purchased a 1985 Yamaha 40hp ERSX tiller handle version. Excellent condition, runs perfectly, however......it is a premix, not direct oil injection. Was this model a 2 stroke premix, or has the oil reservoir and oil pump been disconnected? I have looked online to compare to other 1985 Yamaha 40hp, and I see the oil tank is mounted on the port side, and see where the mounting screw holes are on my outboard. Would appreciate an answer from a Yamaha expert on this matter. Also, wish to upgrade tiller handle.....have read answers on part no. for tiller and fitting parts to upgrade to similar models, just not a 1985 series. Just want to know it applies to this model too. Thanks in advance for any reply.

a 40ESRX is a 1999 model -
A 40ESRX was an oil injection model. Appears that someone disconnected the system and went to premix. A shame.
Provide the complete ID for your motor. Should be on a label attached to the left hand clamp bracket.
What tiller handle, by part number, do you want to use?Comment

I'm sorry, you are correct. A 1985 Yamaha 40hp ESX. Was looking to buy a 1999 Yamaha ERSX at the same time as this one purchased. Appreciate your comment.Originally posted by 99yam40 View PostComment

Thanks for the comment. BTW, motor is a ESX, not ERSX. Listed for part numbers as follows: Tiller Handle-6X4-42103-56-00.Originally posted by boscoe99 View Post
Fitting Kit-6X4-42102-63-00
Also, if it is POSSIBLE to ask, I can upgrade to an electric start as well? Starter motor part number I have researched is 6H4-81800-12-00. Will need a new flywheel.....? Other parts needed......?Comment

How about a 40ESK?
But a 40ESK came with an electric starter motor installed. That is what the E is for.
I don't see a 6X4 tiller handle working on that model.Comment

Ah, once again my error. "E" stands for electric.....so, I have a 40SX, of which I would like to make into a 40ESX. A 1986 Yamaha 40hp tiller was advised to upgrade to those part numbers. Hey, I am asking questions and appreciating responses. Hopefully, my learning curve shows improvement. Thanks again, and provide as much info as possible.Originally posted by boscoe99 View PostComment

Do you have the complete engine ID? Should be on a sticker on the left hand clamp bracket. Will begin with the number 6. Looks like this
