I just picked up a 91' Yamaha 150 and I have a Yamaha wiring harness with a universal key switch. I traced wires and used color codes from online and thought I had the key hooked up right. The choke worked fine until I hooked up everything else. Now I have no choke and no power to any terminals...

Thanks guys. Ill let y'all know the outcome.

We are definitely going to do the basic cheap stuff first before we throw money at it. He just got it so funds are already lower than usual haha. It was taken to a boat shop for service/check up before he made the deal. We are in middle Georgia so no high elevation. Our game plan right now is...

I have a buddy with a 1754 SC grizzly all weld with an 06 mercury 50hp 4 stroke on the back. It has the fishing decks front and back and I know is a heavy boat but this thing is slow. It comes out of the hole like a Prius and has a top speed of 25 mph and takes 20+ secs to somewhat plane out...
