This video covers how to adjust the linkage on my Yamaha TLRT outboard. This is also commonly referred to as a link and sync. I'll cover the timing and throttle linkage, the CDI (Capacitive Discharge Ignition) ignition timing adjustments, the throttle cable adjustments as well as the basic carburetor adjustments.

This outboard motor is a 2 stroke and us currently mounted on the 1966 Boston Whaler 13 that I recently finished restoring. I'll be doing a few videos on this engine in the near future.

A Quick disclaimer, I am not an outboard technician. I do however do my homework and consult with experts when necessary before doing much of the work I do on outboards. Last of all, I get a service manual on the outboards I work on and a thoroughly familiarize myself on the area I am going to work on.
