k4phd Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Is it safe to run a 2 cycle Yamaha 6 horse motor at wide open throttle for extended periods of time? Jim Quote

As long as the engine is in good shape, with a good water pump, proper fuel mixture and a propeller that keeps the RPM's in the recommended operating range, you can run it WOT all day long Quote
k4phd Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 Thanks Viper, The little motor is in as new condition. I just wanted to be sure so not to cause any problems. Jim Quote
w4svc Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Don't know if I welcomed you before but welcome to BR from a fellow ham. Hope to catch you on the air or echolink at some point. I believe Viper is right but I always back off a little after I get up on full plain. Doesn't seem to slow down any but gives me some piece of mind I'm not pushing her too hard. Quote
