Yamaha claims you can pull start their 150s putting a rope on the flywheel and pulling if you ever tried it it's next to Impossible does anybody know if there is a compression release somewhere on these motors that would allow you in an emergency to pull start them

Maybe you could try that tomorrow for shits and giggles and let us know if it work. Oh, please have the Admiral film it this time.

Could be a viral YouTube video. You could earn enough money to buy that 290

Yamaha might be interested in buying it to keep it off of social media. Lots of possibilities. Maybe even one of the insurance companies for their advertising. Just make sure anyone watching has signed an NDA and no video allowed other than yours.
