Sorry I forgot to update. But instead of the “penny” idea(because I couldn’t get it behind the piston) I grabbed two plastic spacers and put them on the piston and reinstalled. I can use the idle adjuster knob to adjust idle where I want the sled to sit and idle, then I removed the coolant lines...

Well that was it. Pump turned on when went into on position. Hopefully the fuse lasts longer than my next 500kms grrr

Ground block is ok Yeah it’s right starter solenoid…you or @maim confirmed for me couple months back I will have to test and check relay wires. But I did just find this!! Why would the brand fuse be so bad already?

This is the only black flat ground I have left. Didn’t want to cut it and fuse it together as it’s quite tight. Does this relate to a fuel pump issue at all?

It’s brand new! It’s got 482 km on it. If you recall I did everything..battery, starter, fuses and most of the ground plugs I thought I guess I need to take the breathers off again and check it out underneath. Thanks

I thought I read it was the opposite. Frowned upon asking the same questions over and over when there’s multiple threads on starting issues. I’m kinda just reading away hoping for the answer like I did with the other issues I’ve had

But my sled is an 06 lol Now I have no fuel pump at all and the fuel pump relay is new. I think it might be a ground block I didn’t do at the top left where all the quick connects are. Sled took a lot of water last weekend

So fuel should be spraying out of that fitting when you turn the key? im having some kind of the same issue. New relay and pump hums a bit when key is turned. Won’t start when I crank it now although I put 500kms on the sled last weekend up in north bay/Mattawa

Shiiit What’s the best way to get the TBs off. Loosen underneath and just pull up?

So a hairline crack in the IAC hose could be the cause as well right?

Yup mine looks just like it. I cleaned it all up and put it back together.

I got the IAC off. Not sure if there’s any issue lol. But there’s no spring in the thermowax and I thought for sure the Yamaha mechanic said there would be… Maybe it’s the boots!! They’ve never been touched

I can’t get the IAC off…I guess I need to take the whole throttle body off eh? Hoses and everything is so tight…probably should check those boots at the back as you can’t even see them

Great info, thanks! This is the thermowax? The mechanic at Yamaha did say the spring is probably broke inside here. But yes the idle adjustment screw does nothing at all when turned.

So Yamaha says it’s the idle control solenoid. I need a new one but they don’t make them anymore…told me to go find a used one. So this is what you call a IAC, correct?
