  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.
