  If your Yanmar Engine's starter turns, but the engine does not start, first check if there is enough fuel and replenish it, bleeding the air. If the fuel filter is clogged, replace the element. If you are using improper fuel, replace it with the recommended fuel. If the problem persists, it may be a faulty fuel injection system or compression leakage, and you should ask for repairs.

  If the exhaust from your Yanmar Engine is producing black smoke, it may be due to a few reasons. It could be that the load has increased, or there's an improper propeller matching. The intake silencer (air cleaner) might be dirty, so clean the element. Using improper fuel can also cause black smoke, so replace it with the recommended fuel. For a faulty spraying of the fuel injector, consult your authorized Yanmar Marine dealer or distributor.
