Hi there,
Not real great with outboards just need some hints, I recently went to cape york and i transported my '02' 8 hp 2 Stroke Yamaha just on the back of the ute lying down on the back of its cowl so the pull start was look straight up to the sky(It was in a padded box).
Now the outboard was in good working order when leaving, never used it as we used me mates the whole time up there, and then when i got back I now cant start it due to there is to much resistance in the motor when i pull the cord. I take the plugs out and it pulls fine.
I dont know if something internally has rattled loose, everything else seems to be tight, as in exterior brackets and there are no rattles.
Perhaps I stored it in the wrong way I assumed it would be ok to lie it down, or is this not correct?
