The friction nut probably needs to be tightened up or something is missing from that. Here is a diagram to help with what the parts may look like.

I would check your fuel lines from the tank all the way to the fuel pump. It seems that you might have a pinched line somewhere. You can also bleed the fuel rail with the schrader valve on the end of the rail. If that wont fix it then you probably have a weak fuel pump.

SOURCE: trying too establish what year

Try contacting Yamaha direct or a reputable outboard dealers for the address, they will point you in the right direction, like all motors manufactured the makers keep a record of the serial number, i recently tracked this down for a friends Perkins Diesle engine that is running a generator in the middle of Spain, it turns out that his engine came from a 1912 lorry.

Good luck

I have one of these tilters and it's on a 2009 25Merc. I had to modify it because the pull handle is located lower on the back of motor.

Gas flowing out of the top of carb. this is a 9.9 mercury 4 stroke outboard motor.

Hi,
this can happen when the float in the float chamber of the carb. jams or "grot" gets in the way of the seal that pressure from the float should create to stop fuel entering the carb. An easy fix, if this is the cause. Unscrew the float chamber be, careful of the gasket, and clean inside, check float for freedom of movement. I prefer paper/fibre gaskets. Good to keep a spare in your kit.
Hope the above was of help.

Are the controls for a 1998 15 HP 2 stroke Mercury outboard compatible with a 2011 30 HP 4 stroke Mercury outboard

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...

Yamaha 4 hp outboard steering friction swivel screw does not work

That's a current problem.
OR the screw is rusted in place. So then use WD40 or eqivalent to free the screw.
Or the parts inside are worn. Remove the friction screw. Then, remove the 4 bolts holding the swivel cap. Remove the entire engine from the swivel to prevent it fall on the ground. Replace the worn parts.
