I've got a '99 Yamaha 150 Saltwater Series, Model#S150TXRX. When it sits for over a week it takes appx. 5-7 minutes to start, wanted to see if anyone could recommend a starting procedure. Here's what I'm currently doing:
-Pull manual choke
-Prime bulb till hard
-Attach lanyard, press in electronic choke, then turn over for no more than 5 seconds. Wait a few seconds then try again.
For the first 7-8 times no even a sputter, then it'll sputter a little, then eventually start, once started I push in manual choke. Now once it starts it runs great all day, just touch the key and it turns over. I did clean out the fuel/water seperator today, had some debris in it, but not too bad. I always add Stab-Lizer to fuel tank.
I've also primed the bulb, then pulled manual choke with the same results.
Any thoughts?
