Switches
Check the start switch 1, the engine stop
switch 2 and the engine shut-off switch 4
for proper operation. To check these
switches place the watercraft in the water to
provide adequate engine cooling. Start the
engine, and then pull the engine shut-off
cord5 to remove the clip 3 from the
engine shut-off switch. Verify that the engine
stops immediately. (See pages 3-15 to 3-18
for information on proper operation of the
start switch, the engine stop switch and the
engine shut-off switch.)

let while the engine is running and the
watercraft is in the water.

3. Attach the clip 1 to the engine shut-off
switch 2. Also, attach the engine shut
off cord 3 to your wrist.
WARNING@Check that the engine shut-off cord is not
frayed or broken, and keep it free from
the handlebars so the engine stops if the
operator falls off. The engine shut-off
cord may not pull free if wrapped around
the handlebars when the operator falls
off, allowing the watercraft to continue to
run and cause an accident.
@
NOTE:@It is not possible to start the engine with the
clip removed from the engine shut-off
switch.
@
4. Pull and hold the choke knob all the way
out.
NOTE:@The choke should not be used when the
engine is warm.
@
5. While lightly squeezing the throttle lever,
push the start switch.
WARNING@On this watercraft, the engine is con-
nected directly to the jet pump. Starting
the engine immediately generates some
thrust. Apply only enough throttle to
keep the engine running.

cle you are attempting to avoid. A colli-
sion could result in severe injury or
death.

2. Insert the garden hose adapter 2 into
the flush hose connector 1.

water tap using a hose.
4. Start the engine, and then immediately
turn the water supply on until water flows
continually from the cooling water pilot
outlet.
5. Run the engine at idling speed for about
3 minutes watching the engine condition.
If the engine stops while flushing, turn
the water supply off immediately and
repeat the above steps.
6. Turn the water supply off, and then force
the remaining water out of the cooling
water passages by alternately squeezing
and releasing the throttle lever for 10 to
15 seconds.
7. Stop the engine.
8. Remove the garden hose adapter.
NOTE:
If you use the flushing attachment 4 in the

Adjusting the carburetor
The carburetor is a vital part of the engine
and requires very sophisticated adjustment.
Most adjusting should be left to a Yamaha
dealer who has the professional knowledge
and experience to perform it. However, the
operator may adjust the trolling speed as
part of the usual maintenance routine.
CAUTION:@The carburetor was set at the Yamaha
factory after many tests. If the settings
are disturbed by someone who does not
have the necessary technical knowledge,
poor engine performance and damage
may result.

EJU00574a
Adjusting the trolling speed
1. Put the watercraft in the water.
2. Start the engine and warm it up for 1 or
2 minutes. Using a diagnostic tachome-
ter, adjust the engine speed to specifica-
tion.
3. Turn the throttle stop screw 1 clockwise
to increase engine speed if necessary.
Turn it counterclockwise to decrease
engine speed if necessary.
Trolling speed: 1,250–1,350 r/min
