The merc dealers in Dallas won't touch older engines.
Not sure why your response.
His issues sound like carbon build up issues and he never responded to my sea foam question.

Markvos, send me a DM. I’ll talk to you live. Not a mechanic, but I’ve worked on my own Ox66 for years and know them well.

Also look at every wire that comes in contact or might come in contact with the motor . A wire that had the insulation rubbed off from years of rubbing was causing a short that would do exactly like what you are talking about on a friends ox 66 .

Was the "unknown place" a certified Yamaha repair center? Do any certified yamaha places work on 21 YO engines? It's a Yamaha motor, do you think a Yamaha certofied mechanic will say, "Nah we do not work on that motor, we just work on these particular years of motors"? This is as dumb of a post that has ever been posted here and especially since the question was a legit question. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/10/full-72311-246369-4868024.jpg) Do you have 1? I do and the man is correct. Most will not work on yamahas that old.

Op. Its likely a relay. Cleburne fun-n-sun fixed one for me a long time ago. Not sure if that man is still there but we did the same. Spending thousands to no avail and an hour at Cleburne and he figured it out. I'll see if I can get his name and PM ya.

I don’t know who you used obviously but Hughes Marine in Wylie has always done me good. There’s Bunting Marine in Wylie that I took a Yamaha to years ago and they kinda just threw parts at it seemed like. There’s a guy named Bass Man Randy in Farmersville you could try to.

Plus one on the low pressure fuell pumps. I have a 2000 OX66 150 that had those same symptoms. its a little tedious to do but I did it myself and fixed the problem for me. You just have to be careful torquing the bolts with that aluminum block.
