Reminds me of a job I had ....Long, long long time ago, We used a horzontial motor (not unlike the one on your Yahama) and had it professionally, or so they claimed, serviced.. Now they did have it so it started real nice and ran good. But they did NOT properly tighten a couple of bolts... The bolts that hold the magneto magnet to the enbine block, thus it was riding hard on the flywheel.
I make a guess, slipped a double sheet of typing paper between magnet and flywheel and tightened 'em down.. Since I've confirmed my guess was accurate.

Following that,, 2nd or 3rd pull first thing in the AM.. after that for the rest of the day. one pull, did not even need to pull hard.. Now that's how it should be.
