Need a bit of Info.

[2mate]

Firstly some info on my engine Yamaha 15hp- Seriel no. 684cl 312041
Can someone give me some info on the engine.

Secondly im trying to start it but there seems to be a gap behind the stop button i was wondering if this needs a dead mans clip for a kill cord.

Or if there is anything i could put behind there just to get it to start?


Cheers

Right guys ive been trying to start her for ages and ages.

I dont think there needs to be a stop clip as i pulled the string and held the plug on the block and it sparked and when i pushed the button in it didnt.
So does that get rid of that issue?

Also the starter seems to be very stiff im thinking the impeller may be jamed?

She just wont fire!

Check compression and spark then look at fuel.
Sounds like you have spark but you need to make sure on all cylinders.
Pull carbs and clean, check fuel pump
