We have a "95" Yamaha WaveVenture, 2 cyl. 80 hp, that has always been hard to crank. We put the choke in different places and eventually it cranks if the battery is hot enough. We have a WaveRunner GP with the same engine and it cranks up fast.
I am pretty sure that only 87 octane gas has been used lately but I remember that the first few years we ran 89 octane.
I wonder if we need to run 93 octane in it. We had to use starting fluid and a jump box to crank it last weekend.
Anybody else had this problem? I plan to replace the plugs and filters before we take it on our vacation next weekend. Anything else?
