    Yamaha LZ150 HPDI Runs only when Key held in the start position.

    LZ150 only runs when key held in the start position, engine dies when key released to the run. Nothing wrong with the key switch. I divorced the engine from the boat harness and used a remote key switch. YDS loses communication with ECM while cranking. Electric pumps run with key up and can...
