  If your Yamaha Outboard Motor idles irregularly or stalls, here's what you can check: * Inspect and replace fouled or incorrect spark plugs. * Check for obstructions in the fuel system. * Replace contaminated or stale fuel. * Clean or replace the fuel filter. * Make sure the air vent screw on the fuel tank is open, the choke knob is in home position, and the motor angle is at the normal operating position. * Also, ensure the fuel joint connection is correct and the battery lead is securely connected. If these steps don't resolve the issue, have a Yamaha dealer check the ignition parts, warning system, spark plug gap, ignition wiring, engine oil, thermostat, carburetor adjustments, or fuel pump.

  Excessive vibration in your Yamaha Outboard Motor can stem from several causes: * A damaged propeller should be repaired or replaced. * Remove any weeds or foreign matter tangled on the propeller. * Ensure the motor mounting bolts are tightened. For a damaged propeller shaft or loose/damaged steering pivot, it's best to have your Yamaha Outboard Motor serviced by a Yamaha dealer.
