I have twin Yahama 150 HPFI 2005 Model Z150TXRC.
While trolling I retuned the throttles to idle while I reeled in a fish. During the commotion the right engine stalled and the alarm went off. I than shut down boath engines. Only to find that later the right engine would not start. I figured it overheated. I came back on one engine . Later I found that the oil tank on the engine was full and the pump on the floor tank was pumping. Checked all fuel filters and found no water. Checked water flow out of all weep holes and found good.Therostats were changed last fall.
After checking all this I did find what I though would be the problem.
At the end of the leankage going to the oil pump I found the connector at the pump was broken and the linkage was disconnected . I ordered and installed a new connector.
Now the engine starts for a short time and shuts down with no alarm.
If I keep the switch on but not running the starter the engine will keep on running but rought . Letting go of the switch but not off the engine than shuts down. I only tried this twice.
It is as if a shut down still exist and needs to be reset some how.
Or is it the oil pump. When working the linkage on the pump while the rod was disconnected I could feel a high spot like a cam or something . Could this jambed the linkage and cracked the plastic connector.
Any suggestions would really help at this point;
Thanks;
Bob
