Dinghy outboard motors - Caring for your carburetor (Part 2)
In addition to all these precautions, we strongly recommend that you dismantle the carburetor once a year for proper maintenance. Outboards can easily stall due to a clogged carb. Having a carburetor maintenance and repair kit on board, including replacement gaskets and jets, will mean you can get back under way as quickly as possible.
Philippe Bauer, from Tendance Voile, dismantled the carburetor on this 8HP Yamaha to give it a good clean and change the gaskets and seals. His advice is to take photos during disassembly and be tidy when removing components. We start by draining the bowl after having emptied the fuel lines.
