2001 Yamaha LS 2000 Rt motor stalling

[Razmiz]

I bought a 2001 LS 2000 this spring and I love it. The problem is that recently the right engine doesn't seem to be getting enough gas. I say this for three reasons. The right engine is more difficult to start than the left engine, the right engine tends to stall (recently) at full throttle and the fuel filter bulb is practically dry when compared to the 1/3 full bulb of the left engine. Are there two different fuel pumps for this boat or is it possibly a kill-switch problem? Has anyone had a similar issue that they have been able to resolve?

Compression check the engine and post the numbers.

Ok Administrator,
How would I perform a compression check? Is there a guage that I place in each of the spark plug recepticles? I will try to get this information this weekend. Thank you for your promt reply and I am excited about these forums.

Hi Razmiz. You can buy a compression tester at any local auto parts store for about $30-$40. Follow the instructions in the link below, and post the results here.
