My (30 year old) Yamaha has new plugs, spark, a fully charged battery and the fuel is not blocked yet it won't start. Any suggestions please as to how I might get it started as it fired up perfectly last week and yet this week refuses to budge.

Many thanks

After posting my recent note, my (retired civil engineer) mate checked for air leaks into the fuel pump, amongst other things. He found that by tightening the nuts and screws securing the plate that air that had apparently been entering the chamber, was then blocked and the engine fired into life. HOORAY!!!

Welcome to iboats!:welcome:

Great that you figured it out. For future reference, questions about specific outboards would get better responses in the forum area devoted to that brand.
