Author	Topic:   Yamaha v6 excel sputtering
arctic cruiser	posted 07-26-2006 11:17 AM ET (US)         I have a ribbed outrage with a 1988 225 Yamaha V6 excel. lately when applying throttle to get on step from idle the motor sputters and then dies. Eventually after a few tries, it starts and accelerates and once the motor is running at crusing speed all is well. This happens quite frequently and would be nice to rectify this problem. would appreciate any ideas. Thanks
