Default 92 Yamaha 55hp Wont Crank

Just purchased above referenced motor on a 20' pontoon. Engine has not been cranked in two years. Before storage, engine was disconnected from gas tank and run until fuel was void from carb. Engine is 2 cycle with oil mixed in gas in remote tank. Engine turns over but will not crank. I replaced plugs and used fresh gas/2 cycle oil mix, but still will not crank. Is there anything else I can do before carrying to a Yahama dealer?

Howdy, fryoung.

Welcome to iboats.

Go to the Engine FAQs and do "Outboartd won't start". Let us know what you find.

Good luck.
