Terry,

Had a similar problen with my new 150 Yamaha... It would run like a champ and then it would not start.. I also had spark and gas at the motor, but mine turned out to be a loose wire on the ignition switch. It drove me nuts for about 3 months till the guys at Anchor Marine in Appleton spent 6 hours and found the problem...

Good Luck!!

Location: Rhinelander		I'd say the same, check you ignition wiring at the harness, motor, and key switch.

Location: Orland Park, IL		Dont quote me on this, but I seem to remember something with the thermostat fouling out. I remember reading about this happening to a fellow merc. Worth a looksie.

Location: Fox Lake, Illinois		Don't know if anyone answered that question for you but I had the same thing happen to me and it drove me crazy. It turned out that the oil ejection setting was wrong, easy fix but no one could figure it out! Took 3 trips to Bass Pro before we knew what it was.
