Now thats a good question, that will gather many opinions. Here is mine! At the Prattville shop last week, we replaced a 1999 Yamaha 225hp powerhead that failed because of oil injection failure. Last week, we replaced two cylinders on a Yamaha 800 PWC that were damaged from oil injection pump failure. (countless others in the past) I feel that both of these units would have been running for a long time if this had not happened. Yours is 1997 model! That is 14 years old! Obviously, you are beginning to doubt its ability to properly mix/lubricate your fuel and engine. My opinion, take it off. BUT, make sure you do it properly. One thing is for sure..... If you mix it yourself, outside of you just plain forgetting to do it, you want loose your engine to oil injection failure. If you have any questions about this, call me and we will chat.
