Default 1992 yamaha 115 fuel problem

I have an engine that has been sitting for about 2 years. I just got it and I am trying to get it running. Currently, I don't seem to be getting fuel to the plugs. Is there something I should check prior to pulling the carburators? Some sort of accelorator pump or something that may be stuck or dried out....

thanks,

Jim

Ahoy, Jim.

Welcome to iboats.

Your carbs probably need cleaning BUT. . .

Troubleshoot first. Go to the Engine FAQs and do the troubleshooting in "Outboard won't start". Then you will KNOW where the problem is, rather than expensive and time wasting guesses.
