Will This Forgotten Yamaha Outboard Run After Years of Sitting?

This Yamaha 8HP outboard motor has been sitting for a couple years, and I have no idea what’s wrong with it. In this video, I go through the basics to see if this small Yamaha outboard has any life left. We’ll check it over, test for spark, look at compression, inspect the fuel system, and see if this old boat motor will run again. Small outboards can be simple saves, or they can turn into a full-blown repair rabbit hole. This Yamaha 8 horse could have a dirty carburetor, bad fuel lines, no spark, weak compression, water pump issues, or who knows what else from sitting. Let’s find out if this forgotten Yamaha outboard is worth saving.
