[QUOTE="Specknreds, post: 54692, member: 801"] I've got my boat back!!! The spots and dots had better look out tomorrow. Problem was a cotter pin inside the carb had rusted (should have been stainless). The peices of rust clogged everything. Mechanic said that ethanol could have played a roll in this due to moisture it bonds with. Found two rubber boots on the linkage leaking a little also. After tearing them down, he showed me that they we eaten from the inside/out. Most likely ETHANOL. Yamaha said that I shouldn't need to run the gas out. They wouldn't say if it would harm anything either on a 4-stroke. They said to keep good gas in the tank and run it once a month. They said that if E 85 Ethanol becomes legal to use, DON"T, Yamaha will not warranty your motor. The mechanic charged $127. I thought that this was very reasonable for a carb rebuild and 2 boots.
