I have a yamaha 50 hp outboard motor. It has been sitting up for a while but before that it ran fine. The only time I can get it to start up is when I take the spark plugs out and spray some carb cleaner in the holes. I dumped out the old gas and put some new gas in it. I also changed the fuel/water filter. All it does is crank but it wont turn over. The last time I did run it on the water I did have some problems when I would try to put it in gear from idol position and it would keep killing on me so i just figured it was a little water in the gas. I was told to clean the carberator out but im not exactly sure where to start. Or maybe its not getting fuel? any help or ideas would be great.
