Lubrication
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
Never pour or spray gasoline, or any sub-
stance other than engine fogging oil
through the holes in the carburetor
silencer cover.
CAUTION:
●Be sure to replace the caps securely
after fogging the engine. Otherwise
water could enter the engine and
cause damage.
●Do not attempt to run the engine at full
throttle or for more than 15 seconds
while the watercraft is out of the water,
otherwise the engine may overheat
and/or seize.
1. Open the silencer caps 1 on the
silencer by turning them counterclock-
wise.
2. Start the engine with the watercraft in a
well-ventilated area.
3. With the engine running at a fast idle,
quickly spray as much fogging oil as pos-
sible through the holes in the silencer
cover. Keep spraying until the engine
stalls (or a maximum of 15 seconds).
4. Install the cap securely.
5. Remove the spark plugs and pour
approximately one tablespoon of engine
oil into each cylinder. Grease the spark
plug threads and install the spark plugs.
6. Crank the engine for 3 seconds.
7. Lubricate all cables such as the throttle,
choke, and steering cables.
8. Lubricate the areas of the watercraft
specified under Lubrication points on
page 4-15.

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.
EJU00577a
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 or, if necessary, the tachometer in the
multifunction meter, adjust the engine
speed to specification.
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
