Bergallmaster Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Dont sound so good. Does the noise get louder when warmed and revving? Especially under load. the human race has proved darwins theory of evolution wrong. we let the dumb survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckieP Posted March 22 Author Report Share Posted March 22 No I didn’t hear it above idle and at speed but then again I don’t have the sharpest hearing "Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory" E.H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told the motor in the first video was toast, numerous so called experts on another site said it had bad lower unit, valve knock, jumped timing belt to name just a few comments.

poopdeck Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 That little tapping noise can be caused by a great many things both large and small. Could be as simple as replacing the plugs or a simple valve adjustment. Since it’s not on fire, chugging, smoking, surging, struggling or stalling, I hardly doubt it’s toast.

"Experts" diagnosed all that from that 13 second video? Wow that's crazy. And without even changing the rpm's or shifting? Who could know "diagnosis" was so easy.

Roccus7 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 (edited) The 2 videos sound very similar so I wouldn't be losing sleep. My problem is that where you stand on a boat makes a big difference in your perception of engine "sounds". Often when I move in the boat while it's running, I'll find myself saying, "WTF is THAT???" and run back to the helm for a sound check... The only time I hear my 115 Yammie idling up close and personal, is when she's up on the trailer with the ear muffs, so I can't chime in regarding an idle sound diagnosis. 10 hours ago, ChuckieP said: bad lower unit, BTW, with an engine idling, HTF can anyone claim there's a problem with the lower unit??? Bottom line, if I thought my engine wasn't working/sounding right, I sure as hell wouldn't ask for an internet diagnosis...

NHAngler Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 (edited) Cannot hear anything different compared to my F115. However, the sounds from an F115 take some getting used to as it has some personality for sure. If you are concerned, hook it up to YDS and check for codes then look at your stats. I try to stay intimate with my fuel system and change my filters way more than I need to. I even inspect and clean my injectors every other year and carry an extra set in my e-toolbox. This is an outstanding engine but sensitive to what fuel is being delivered. Edited March 26 by NHAngler Confidence catches fish! The rest of it is just there to keep us busy.
