Default Yamaha OX66 Saltwater Series 200hp

Yesterday, while I was running @ 4800 rpm, my motor stalled momentarily. I brought the throttle back to center and then forward again to begin going again. The motor didn't shut off though. It did this twice during a 30 minute period. Any ideas?

The motor seems to idle fine. When I got back to the marina, I let it idle for approx. 6-8 minutes. It didn't miss any. Think the plugs could be fouled?

Just a guess,

my rule with a 2 stroke: when in doubt, change the plugs....

Checked my oil resevoir before launching this evening and it wasn't empty, but it was low. Topped it off. Plugs seemed fine. Ran around for about an hour with no problems. Any chance that it could've been that the oil resevoir was low and it could have caused the motor to hesitate momentarily?

Nope. Depending on the year, The O2 sensor can cause some strange things also. I would recommend running some ring free by Yamaha through the system to clean the fuel system, injectors, and carbon deposits. Add it to your fuel tank. It isn't the cheapest, but it works very well. This is a good place to start after plugs. See Kenny at Emerald coast, he should have some Ring Free.
