How to start a Yamaha Outboard Motor when the starter operates but the engine doesn't?
- J
  joycevictoriaAug 6, 2025
  If your Yamaha Outboard Motor's starter is working but the engine won't start, there could be several reasons: * The fuel tank may be empty, so fill it with clean, fresh fuel. * The fuel might be contaminated or stale; in this case, replace it with clean, fresh fuel. * A clogged fuel filter can also prevent starting, so clean or replace the filter. * The spark plugs could be fouled or of an incorrect type. Inspect, clean, or replace them with the recommended type. * Also, check that the spark plug caps are correctly fitted and that the engine stop switch lanyard is attached. If none of these steps work, there may be an issue with the fuel pump, ignition parts, wiring, or internal engine damage, requiring service by a Yamaha dealer.

  If your Yamaha Outboard Motor idles irregularly, here are some things to check: * Make sure your spark plugs aren't fouled or the wrong type. Clean or replace them if needed. * Check for any blockages in the fuel system, like a pinched fuel line. * Ensure you're using clean, fresh fuel. * Also, check that your fuel filter isn't clogged; clean or replace it if it is. * Be sure that the air vent screw on the fuel tank is open, the choke knob is in the home position and the motor angle is at the normal operating position. Additionally, inspect the spark plug gap and adjust it if it's incorrect. If you've used the wrong engine oil, replace it with the specified oil.
