Yamaha 150TXRB 2-stroke carbed starts and idles fine, but bogs down going through a range of about 1500-2200. It doesn't like sitting at that range at all if trying to troll. Push through it and the engine runs cleanly with zero issues all the way up to 5000 rpm. From idle doing a fast hole shot...
I have a 2003 Yamaha 150 carb'd 2-stroke (TXRB 150 6G4 x1001227) and on the dash are two lights - one for oil level and the other for temperature. I have seen the same lights on Yamaha tachs so assume they are wired similarly. When I turn the key on, the oil level light illuminates briefly and...

I recently bought a 1996 Aquasport in great shape but the manufacturer's data label is nothing but shiny foil. I had a courtesy Coast Guard inspection last week at the ramp and they raised it as an issue. Does anyone out there have a legible label they could photograph and post? I would like to...
