    My 2000 90 hp yamaha will not start. I checked the fuel sytem from start to finish. Everything checks out. I installed a new fuel pump last year. Fuel filter fills properly when primer bulb is squeezed. I have spark from the spark plugs.I performed religious preventive maintenance on the motor every year. Serviced lower unit, fogged the motor for winter storage and changed the plugs every year. I'm assuming that if i get a spark that the coils are ok, right?

Try this sequence. Pump up the fuel bulb until it gets hard. There should be something equvilent to a fast idle setting, then hold in the primer(electric choke) and finally turn the key and crank. When it tries to start go easy on the electric choke. You may want to see if the electric choke moves freely.

How to water flush a mercury 4hp 2 stroke

You will need the flush-kit adapter also known as ear muffs. You connect your garden hose to the ear muffs, then start the motor. It is a good idea to first prime the motor befor trying to start the motor. Then turn the water on right after the motor starts.

1994 90HP johnson outboard

Hi, your problem is simple you either have a head gasket gone or a exhaust plate/gasket gone. Either will let water into a cylinder which is why it ran ok without water. You should also check the water pump in the leg as you have now run it without water. Regards Phil.

Try looking for the fuel pump reset switch, which may be towards the back of the vehicle hidden behind a panel.

Motor top filled with water and died. what problems will this cause. i fixed reason it filled but wont start? This is a evinrude 4cyl. 2 stroke motor 1986

It shouldn't cause any problems , once it dries out, it should fire back up and run, get the water out of the carbs if you can, or make sure there is no water in there, where did the water come from? You might have to prime the pistons with fresh gas to get it to fire, make sure the plugs are dry and clean. We had a honda pump on a barge and it went in the river, we grabbed the hose and pulled it back up, fired right up and ran fine all day. What an engine. Hope this helps.

Just bought a used boat, 1966 sportscraft with an evinrude 2 stroke motor, don't know how to test the motor without going into the water. don't know much about boats

Hi. If you just want to run the motor then you can do it in you driveway. Go to a sports store with boating equipment and ask for "Muffs" to run your boat motor out of water. You can see a pictures of outboard motor muffs on google images:

http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&q=muffs+for+outboard&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

Take the muffs and place them over the water intakes located above the propeller (look like vents on each side). Hook a garden hose up the muffs and start water flow. Make sure nothing is near the propeller. Make sure to pump the bulb in the fuel line to the motor until it stiffens. Crank the motor. When the motor starts, you should see water start to flow out of the back of the motor near the cover and out of the center of the propeller with the exhaust. You must keep water flow to the motor using the muffs while it is running or it will burn up.

I have a 2000 Chevy Blazor, Ran fine, drove it yesterday. Jumped in it today to head to work, and it will not turn over. It trys to start but will not fire.

First try extracting the codes from the ECM using an OBDII code reader. The codes will likely point towards your problem.
