I've had a Yamaha 4stroke4hp
outboard for my
dinghy for 8 years. Frequently,
oil gets into gas line and floods the spark
plug so I can't start the
engine (starter cord can't be pulled). I know this is from "improperly" tilting the
engine but I have to store engine on
boat when not on
dinghy. I've laid it horizontally resting on throttle side as suggested by manufacturer as well as standing it up with a 20 degree lean, again with throttle side down. Regardless, 1/2 the time it freezes up when I remount on the dinghy. I have no room on my swim platform (29ft Sea Ray) to mount the engine with the dinghy up on
davits. 2 cycle engines are no longer available. Any suggestions how to avoid problem or mount enginge for proper transport/storage on
boat?
