Do you have a Yamaha part number for this- I might be able to find something for you that way.
Brent-
I think you're specifically looking for the manual that goes with the diagnostic system, but here's the FD-90 complete engine manual and a reference to the pages that deal with the diagnostic system:
Yamaha FD-90 Manual (2005)
and the specific pages dealing with the diagnostic system and it's requirements are section 9-2.
Folks that have the FD-90 and FD-75 will certainly want to note and bookmark this source. Even the FD-115 and FD-100 share the same drive train. It's worth at least $65-$75.
Joe. :teeth :thup

Thanks a million, Joe
I am looking at boats hundreds of miles away from home and most have Yamaha 150 - 300 hp motors. I am trying to determine if this tool would be useful for pre-sale purposes and think it is straight forward for current Yamaha outboard(s) owners who perform DIY service. My issue is checking the motor after inspection and a sea-trial. How do others check the motor condition before purchasing an used boat? Maybe I am missing something.

I've never heard of someone purchasing the diagnosic cables and disc/program and doing their own analysis on an engine being considered for purchase, but it is a marvelous idea.
You might consider talking to a specific nearby dealer to the motor and see what they would want to perform the diagnostic analysis with their equipment. They would be an independent third party to evaluate the motor.
Might be cheaper than buying your own, although I don't know what that equipment and program cost. Actually, I'm a bit surprised they're for sale to the public.
Why not work out a deal with the seller and including the diagnostic cost of the dealer doing the work. Include it in the price. The owner pays the fee up front. If the motor passes, you'll buy the boat for the agreed upon price, which includes the testing.
If the motor fails, he pays for the testing, you don't buy the boat/motor/deal.
A Fail/Safe Purchase Plan, so to speak.

I think I have found the manual. I can e-mail the PDF if you want.

Thanks Joe
Exploring all options. Time is a factor b/c we are still working and trying taking to a service center is a good idea and any extra time is spent on the FL home but time for a larger boat and enjoy the area.
The kit is about $350 from a private seller. It works on:
All Yamaha HPDI models (Z150,Z175,Z200,VZ225, Z and VZ250 and the Z300's). All EFI Four Stroke Yamaha engines (F50, F60, F75, F90, F115, F150, F200, F225, F250, F300 and the F350) and Yamaha YDS capable Watercraft
Software and manual are on a CD and the seller could not email it so asked him to use YouSendIt service.
It appears to check the system and pull codes but does not check the fuel pressure just the flow and of course does replace a compression or leak down.
Thanks a million again.
I posted pictures of the kit and screen shots at
http://picasaweb.google.com/salbrent/Ya ... iscSystem#
YAMAHA Diagnostic System part # 60VWS85300. Software part # 80V8533000.
Load the software onto your computer, hook up the data cable to your motor then seethe condition of all internal systems on your PC
This kit is the same tool that Yamaha technicians use to diagnose, troubleshoot and check your Yamaha engines computer, fuel system, sensors and ignition system. This software kit works on all of the following engines:
Yamaha HPDI series
Four Stroke Yamaha engines F115A, LF115A, F225A, FL225A
This kit will not work on any Yamaha OX66 fuel injected engine or any Yamaha carbed engine.
The software is simple to use. All you need is laptop or pc with any version of Windows (except Windows 95), one open Com port and a CD\\DVD drive to install the software.
The kit comes with the Diagnostic software on CD, a Communication cable RS232C (9-pin) to connect the laptop to the engine, and a data converter module. The data converter module is a small black box that is wired into the USB wire connecting to the engine. The cable is long enough for the laptop to reach most helms stations while under way.
