Post subject:  2.6 yami needs some help

The early 90's 2.6 200 yami on my mastercraft is due for a little tlc.
I'm planning on doing all the regular stuff (plugs, fuel filter etc) but its developed a hard start / intermittent rough idle / occasional stall issue that needs to be dealt with, although the excessive smoke may come in handy in a week or two when the bugs come out.
It presents itself as a fuel issue and I was told last year (can't remember by whom) that it could likely be one of the fuel pumps gone bad. This sound like a good place to start and if so what's the best fix? Rebuild or replace?

Does the motor have an actual choke or is it a prime start motor?

With respect to the fuel pumps the best way is to replace them. If you choose to rebuild them make sure you have the diaphram tight/stretched/tensioned as it goes together....the pumps are never quite the same after rebuild but it can be done.

It is a choke motor, not a primer.
Best to go OEM for the pumps?
Between the fuel filter and the oil reservoir on the engine There's a black box with a spring return toggle switch on it. WTF is it and what does it do?

That spring return toggle switch is the float override to energize the remote reservoir oil pump I believe. Toggling it should run the remote pump to fill the onboard motor reservoir.

Now I will wait for Dok to chastise me on what that switch is :)

My 2.6 ran like a turd (hard to start, stalled, etc.) until a carb rebuild.

I think you toggle the switch to eject the motor off the boat and to the bottom of the lake. :mrgreen:

It's the flux capacitor dumbass!! :lol: Dubber's right...refills the oil tank if you run low...

I'd buy an OE pump if it were me...

Is there a carb kit available or do you have to order individual parts?
