    Optimax Fuel Pumps Won't Shut Off

    I have 2001 twin 150 Optis and when I shut the keys off the port fuel pumps continue to run. Once I shut off the batteries they stop and when I turn them back on the pumps stay off. Any idea what controls the fuel pumps on these motors or what to check first? Thanks

    I broke my 91 Yamaha 250 and picked up a used 93 250. I was going to put my 91 carbs on it and noticed that the 93's have an extra nozzle on the inlet side of each carb and an extra hose on the outside. Why did Yam add these and will my 91's work? Thanks
