Outboard Motor Won't Start!! Try This!!

[hhernandez1501]

I checked the fuse after I saw this they are fine changed spark plugs and everything it's a 2010 seems like it's not getting gas I turned it on once with the choke then as soon as I put choke down it shut off now does not turn on ... but will turn

It's a simple thing, but make sure you haven't accidently turned of the kill switch. Sounds like you have power to the motor. Make sure you've got fuel to the motor, and no water in your filters. Water kills four strokes real easy and blocks up your injectors, expensive if that happens. Or else can be electrical problems if no spark? Should be under warranty if 2010,

@hhernandez1501 same issue as me,

i was driving alone stoped in the middle of the lake,

and it just stoped,

and wouldn't start for 5hrs,

got home eventualy after getting a bloke to tow us,

and then it starts at home, so i don't get it..

what year motor is this need

to know ASAP my motor is 2010 won't start but will turn looking for that fuse that is lose that this person was holding

[Reefari]

Worth checking the fuse, would be about 2007, Yamaha 40 HP 4 stroke. If your fuse has gone will have no power and motor won't turn over. although could be several other things as well, such as water in your fuel, no spark, Flat battery. Good luck,

Check your fuel or spark plugs, if not could be more electrical, at least it runs, but check with your local outboard dealer

Hello,

I like this video, but I'm have a hell of a time when 87 Yamaha just started it up today Jane.all the mission coils. But is doing the same thing as last year runs only with the choke wide open or partially closed. I did a compression check today. All cylinders are 95 PSI or 98 PSI in that range.

I bought it online three years ago have not been able to get it to run. Still, it will not idle for longer than a few minutes then it dies need your help in this matter. Thank you

[Reefari]

Good question, still running fine,

Cheers Greg

Good to know where the fuses are and make sure you have a spare one,

Cheers Greg

hey question we were running our outboard and the earmuffs for the water intake at the bottom vibrated forward and into the screw in turn the prop got somewhat jammed for a few seconds before we shut it down, but now it wont start and keeps backfiring any ideas would help

[Reefari]

Not sure, would check your motor is in Neutral, most motors won't start if in gear?

Cheers Greg
