Yamaha Carburetors

[edgutgesell]

Question 1:<br /><br />I have an early (1984 150 ETXN) V6 Yamaha engine. I am thinking of picking up a set of rebuildable carbs to use as spares. My engine has the single float (Takaei) carbs and I understand that in 1986 Yamaha went to the dual float (Nikki) carbs on the 150. Are the Nikki and Takaei interchangeable or is a change of manifold or linkage necessary? <br /><br />Question 2:<br /><br />Is there a way that I can tell if the powerhead on my engine has been replaced with a later powerhead?

Interchanging should be no problem. The power head has a number which shoud match the serial number of the engine.

Thanks Ray,<br /><br />As usual your response is timely and appreciated. I have the opportunity to pick up a set of dual float carbs at a resonable price. Thanks again,
