I have a 1984 90hp and the # 2 piston seized on me. I've ordered a new powerhead and should be in by the end of the week. I am going to replace it myself. Are there any gremlins that I should look out for?

Make sure you rebuild carbs and fuel pump, replace water pump, check timming and breakin as per owners manual.

I would disassemble fuel pump and inspect. Yamaha does make a manual you can order from www.yamaha-motor.com but the Clymer should give you specs needed.

Powerhead replacement 1984 90hp
Finished powerhead replacement, piece of cake, except for one corroded bolt that I had to drill out. Since this is my first time preforming major surgery on an outboard it couldn't have gone any smoother. I may have learned just enough to be dangerous. Great way to bring new life to a tired old friend.
What is the reccommended break-in for a new powerhead. If anyone needs them I have a good block and crank.
