Yamaha 4HP two-stroke problems

[root77]

Good morning



I'm new here, and I would like to find someone to help me repair my outboard engine - a Yamaha 4HP two-stroke engine.

I think it's a problem with the carburetor.

Do you know any outboard motor mechanic who can help ?

I live in Chigwell - Essex



thank you

What are your symptoms? It's a fairly easy carb to work on. Anyone with some basic mechanical skills could clean and rebuild one of these.

We went fishing and the engine started fine, but it was a bit sluggish after a few hundred meters, we stopped, and after this, I couldn't start again , we had to paddle back to the shore .

I have removed the carb but couldn't unscrew the main jet, there was no grip.

I have bought a new one from ebay (Chinese) - engine is starting but goes to very high RPM and I'm not able to control it .

I think I need help from someone who knows more about the outboards.
