Running a tournament last week, my 1999 Vmax 150 trp 0X66 fuel injected motor bogged down and stalled anytime i went over 3/4 throttle.

I checked the usual and there is no water in the tank or in the system.

Has anyone had this problem before?

It runs normal to 3/4 throttle put anytime i go over that it boggs and stalls out. Any ideas?

I just corrected such a problem with a 2000 model 150 throttle body injected.

I removed the "fuel delivery assembly", opened it up and removed what was inside it.

It appears to be a check valve with a fancy name, or a back flow preventer. After unscrewing it and taking out the piston and spring, I put it back in line and the motor runs fine after the water test.

You'll find it in line, between your engine fuel filter and the fuel pumps.

Did you replace it? Or just take it apart and put back in?

As stated above, I took out what was in it and put the assembly back in without the piston and spring.

It could also be an issue with your anti-siphon valve at your fuel tank pick up.

Read my post below yours.

Nothing in it that I could find as far as trash. I figured it wasn't operating properly for whatever reason.

I couldn't blow through it against the arrow/flow, and when I blew in it in the direction of flow, it would stop up quickly then open a bit then stop up again, just like the engine was doing when stalling.

Maybe someone on here can give specifics as to what a fuel supply assembly is supposed to do.

Yamaha is 1 week away from getting me the item 24, I have since replaced the plugs and the fuel filter. Any other help would be great!!!
