I am looking for a recommendation on an engine maintenance/repair manual that will cover a 1999 Yamaha C90 2 stroke. A few years ago I had to replace the CDI pack and since then the engine has been difficult to start and will stall when I put it in gear while at idle speed. The local mechanic that works on my engine is trying to adjust the timing for me but is more familiar with OMC engines than Yamaha and needs some clarification of how to make proper adjustments. It also appears that some of the linkages have been changed from the factory setup. When the mechanic checked the idle speed timing it was set at 10 deg so he changed it to 5 deg which helped tremendously with start up and engine shut off when shifting from neutral to forward. Since things seem to be all out of whack I want to be 100% sure that the linkages and timing are set to factory standards.
I found this manual on Amazon, "Seloc Engine Manual for 1997 - 2009 Yamaha 2 - Stroke Outboards". Is this the best manual available and will it give me the information for adjusting the timing?
