If your old engine/control has the same 'options' as the30hp, yes everything is compatible... (Electric start or trim )
The throttle and shift cables are allways compatible...
Make sure carbs are clean,check exhaust tube isn't blocked,check resistance readings on charge coil,make sure filters are clean,no fuel leaks in fuel line,tank has open breather,fuel connector not blocked.if this doesn't solve the problem could be faulty cdi unit
You haven't specified as to its year of manufacture, so if its older, as in a 2 stroke, it'll be a mix of gas and outboard oil.
If its a newer model, a 4 stroke, it'll be injected(Gas and oil seperate)
If you are totally unsure, Consult your owners manual and if you have none, then any Yamaha dealer can use the serial # off the motor to establish any specs on it for you.
