Retrowagon Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Just got a yamaha p45 2a 2hp outboard engine tonight, might be lemon won't know till morning and I try starting it. Is there anyone on here with a service manual or like a Haynes manual equivalent that I could borrow if I need to take it apart, or anyone know where I can download one online. Also what are they like as engines ? I've seen then on you tube and they look pretty much indestructible and very easy to work on. Any help gratefully apreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedger Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 You'll find most manuals online these days. Possibly need to buy on CD but really cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrowagon Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Rob I have no idea . I can't seem to fine anything about it. I have the model and serial number. But can't find any info on getting any spec ???? I am using an iPad so might be that ? As a lot of the sites that say they can find out more info seem to not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrowagon Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Well after three hours striping it and cleaning, new spark plug, and even emailing yamaha direct and getting a PDF file of the service manual from them. I still can't get it to go Anyone know of a outboard fixer that might get it going ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
