Great job for a "shade tree" mechanic! Took some guts to tackle that job and put the puzzle pieces all back together in ther correct places. I've heard that all the HPDIs eventually suffer from clogged high pressure filters no matter how religios their owners are with their fuel supply and stabalization procedures. Think this lead Yamaha to phase them out and go to all 4 stroke EFIs which have injectors that are easy to access and change. If you keep this VMAX for another few years or upgrade to a 4 stroke, you should look into buying yourself a small fuel injector cleaner. You can get one on Alibaba (China's equivalent to Amazon) for less than $400. It will clean and pressure test all your injectors youself and not have to send them out at $25 each plus shipping.
They should have one large screen on the inlet of the long manifold bc once that tiny screen gets plugged on one injector it runs that cylinder lean and burns that cylinder. There are no moving parts to generate debris in the manifold so you would no longer need the ones in the injectors. Thanks, good video.
great video step by step thank you .I studied your video 3 times ordered my filters and did the job on my 250 hpdi 2003,tested and felt a huge power gain next is the vst filter thanks again .
I dint do the fuel pump yet I looked to see if it would require to replace gasket so I will have it ready ,the starboard side pump does not have an adjustment as you described in yours so I will attempt
Thanks for these videos I just brought an 03’ skeeter zx225 with the same motor. And I will most like the doing the majority of the yearly maintenance on it.
@@antonioprado8068 I just wanted to do this because of the age of my boat at the time. I did not have any issues with my boat before doing this. And not I have not had any problems after doing this. I replaced my plugs every two years but sometimes every year depending on have it’s running. I have not replaced the mystery filters since doing this video.
@@michaelyoucanfixthat Thanks again man! I changed all 10 mystery filters on my 300 HPDI today. Im not very mechanical so this video was a total difference maker.
And for any future people scrolling through comments, I have ZERO outboard and very little other mechanical experience. It took me 3 hours to change all 10 mystery filters (including the filters inside the high pressure pumps) and none of it was out of my comfort zone. You can totally do this yourself!
I started taking apart my 2001 Yamaha 200 HP HPDI motor yesterday to clean up my fuel lines and injectors; I got some water in my fuel a while back. My motor is a bit different than your 2009 model, but I used a 5 mm hex bit to remove the bolts for the fuel lines that lead to the fuel rails - probably the same size Allen wrench you used. I took a few pictures with my phone to help with reassembly once the injectors are cleaned - I'd be happy to send these to anyone who asks, along with an explanation. The coil pack on my model is substantially different - I think Yamaha simplified the coil pack for newer models.
I got the coil pack and fuel rail removed, but have not removed the injectors yet. I'm not sure how to get these out - they are in there pretty tight. I'm hoping to remove the injectors next weekend. I'll follow up after that. Finders crossed...I need to be FISHING!
watched for the 2nd time.. 1st was on your bass hunters channel.. looking forward to seeing more work on this motor, very detailed and informative. Exactly what you need when watching something like this. Thanks
you could also mark with a sharpie the fuel tubes top to bottom...1,2,3 so they go back in that order...proper torque on the spark plugs to...I think the spec is on the head for the ft. pds. awesome video and thanks again...
Michael, thanks for taking the time to do this...helpful...how many hours on your motor? Also, where the old filters dirty...just curious...I know its a good thing to do proactively but just curious if the filters we very dirty...
Frank Zabski Thank for watching the video. My motor has about 230 hours on it. But no I did not see anything on the old filters. Just thought I should do this with the amount of hours on my motor. I tried to change every filter on my the motor. Just as a maintenance thing. Thanks again for watching.
Sooo I know this is from quite awhile ago but just so you know, the spark plug gap on the side of your motor for the dual electrode plugs is wrong! Gap should be 1.3-1.5 mm on both sides. Just a heads up
You use White Out or a digital camera to make sure you get things back in the correct place Before digital cameras I completely rebuilt a 3 cy 2 stroke Suzuki I wore out The bearings on the top cylinder failed and the connecting rod started hitting the bottom of the sleve and breaking out chunks out I had to remove every nut bolt and screw I was glad I took a bunch of pictures That motor still runs like a scalded dog
Where can you get the filters from? All amazon sellers only list up to the 200HP engine. Not for injector part #60V-13761-00-00. Will the same filters work for the 250? www.amazon.com/Yamaha-Outboard-Injector-Basket-Filter/dp/B07958DTSX
WassawBound I want to say yes they look the same as the ones I used. But a buddy of mine did the filters I did not do. They look different than these. So if you plan to do the one I did not do they will be different. But yes I’m 80% that these filters will work.

Louis Sanchez You Welcome!

Louis Sanchez If you feel comfortably doing that. I would try it to. Good luck.
Great job- ty for this video, i am putting together my parts list now!
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
You are welcome!

Good, I’m changing spark plugs every year now for the best performance.
Excellent video my friend..
Thanks for making this video! Very informative. Really appreciate it.
Jordan Thank for the great complement.
Great job and very very good video. Thanks so much for making this. Very thorough and good explanations of everything. Doing mine this weekend!
Mark Harrison Thanks for the great comment! I hope it helps.

Gary Tucker Thank You for the great comment. I hope Video helped.
Hi Michael. Just to thank you for this excellent video. Just what I needed to take the fuel injectors out to be cleaned. Regards
flmanusa thank for watching.
There are 2more mystery filters in the high pressure pumpseach is underneath the big oringed port on the housing for the pumps

Frank Zabski Yes I should have. I had some confusion putting them back on the motor. But everything else worked out ok.
excellent job sharing how to work on the HPDI, THANKS
Thank you for the great comment!!

Just so you know the mystery filters are on the underneath side of the high pressure pumps

Do you have to relieve the fuel pressure before removal the fuel rain and fuel tubes that attach to it?
No, I did not have any problems with fuel shooting anywhere. So, I don’t think you will having any problem.
Im sorry u did know my bad
Hella job sir
Thanks
That was excellent. Very helpful. Thanks!
good job sir
bwp777 Thanks.
Did you find any trash in the filters?
Jamie Nichols no, I did not find any trash.
Where did you get your fuel filters?
cpmitchell12 I got mine off EBay. Just do a search for yamaha outboard filters. Some will come up.
How do you release fuel pressure before removing fuel rail ..thank you
Wahoo44, While it is sitting the pressure slowly releases.

Michael You Can Fix That thanks. I went ahead and bought them. Someone in the Amazon q&a said they’re the same.
They are all the same on the hpdi
