    Yamaha 98 C150 OB Starving fuel or spark?

    Oh but of course it does not happen all the time :confused: making it hard to trouble shoot. The motor will run great all day, and whammo it is hard starting, having to choke it. I will give the best description as possible. 1. Cold start with choke and a little advance throttle, it will fire...

    Radar Arch Polishing, What to use?

    I just got a used radar arch for my boat, and prepping it before install like running the antennas, lights etc. Some sections are weathered [dull grey] but looks like it will come up like new with the right polishing compound. Any tips? Thanks

    Ignition Switch wiring, 98 Yami C150 OB

    The Push to Choke was not working at the ignition switch on my boat/98 Yamaha C150, and traced it out to the ignition switch. Unfortunately, the Ignition switch is/ was potted, as I hacked it apart to fix the problem. I found the problem with a wafer not making contact, and now it works. I...

    Yamaha Outboard Paint 98 +

    I just had some welding work done on my 98 Yami C150 OB. I can't find aftermarket paint anywhere. I had a can of Tempo for my year motor in my hands last year, and put it back on the shelf for some reason. Tempo is no longer, was yanked off the shelves, and Moeller does not seem to carry my...

    Turning Point Hustler Questions

    After my last thread http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=242388 I have given it a lot of thought and decided to go with an aluminum prop because of the type of boating I do, and the car sized rocks in the LI sound. So I was just about to pull the trigger on a TP Hustler prop, and decide...

    QuickSilver Mirage and Yamaha OB's

    Thanks to this forum, I found out that the spare prop that came with my boat purchase [Quicksilver Mirage] 19p will go on my Yami 150 OB with the 15 spline, and right thrust washer. The 19p might be too much for my set up, so it'll be up for sale/trade. My friend has a Yami 225 4 stroke and was...

    Is something missing here? 99 Yam 150 C

    I just bought this 98/99 Yamaha 150 C model, and it came with a 21' Parker. Is there supposed to be a gaping hole on the top/back of engine cover. Being Carbed, I know it needs air, but it looks like something should be there. Can anyone direct me to finding a decal set for the cover? Thanks.

    Buying a 98 Yamaha 150 today. Checked compression!

    I checked out a 98 Parker 2110 WA with a 98 Yamaha 150 today and am getting a good price on it. I got 115 psi on all 6 cyl's after running temp achieved. Is that good? The weird thing about the motor is that it does not have a VRO :eek: Mix at the tank, which really doesn't bother me.

    Yea, I'm a cadet, but have read alot on here [some very controversial] about compression testing. I am going to look at a 98 Parker 21' with a 150 Yamaha OB and I know for a fact this boat rarely hit the water [trailered only]. Probably 100 hours max. Here are my plans: 1. Run engine up to...
