My neighbor/friend just purchased a used 2007 Yamaha FX1100A High output Cruiser. It only has 47 hours on it. He bought it from a local marina along with another Waverunner and a dock slip rental for a year. Don't know the rest of the history of the machine.
He knew the machine has a problem. It blows smoke out of the oil fill and the air cleaner has oil all over it. It drives fine he says but goes into the limp mode after 4 or 5 miles. He thinks it is supercharged.
He took it in to a non-dealer repair shop and they tested the compression. In the 160's except for #4 cylinder is at 60. Shop says rebuild the engine, maybe just the #4 cylinder.
Anyone have any ideas about what is causing the problem and how to fix it?
Thanks a lot!
The shop ran something through the gas to see of they could unstick a stuck ring.
