ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
4. Check:
Oil level
Oil level should be between maximum
a and minimum b marks.
Oil level is low → Add oil to proper
level.
NOTE:
When inspecting the oil level, do not screw the
dipstick into the oil tank. Insert the gauge
lightly.
(For USA and CDN)
CAUTION:
Do not add any chemical additives.
Engine oil also lubricates the clutch and
additives could cause clutch slippage.
Do not allow foreign material to enter the
crankcase.
Recommended oil:
At –10 ˚C (10 ˚F) or higher Å:
Yamalube 4 (10W-30) or SAE
10W-30 type SE motor oil
At 5 ˚C (40 ˚F) or higher ı:
Yamalube 4 (20W-40) or SAE
20W-40 type SE motor oil
(Except for USA and CDN)
CAUTION:
Do not add any chemical additives or use
oils with a grade of CD a or higher.
Do not use oils labeled “ENERGY CON-
SERVING II” b or higher. Engine oil also
lubricates the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.
Do not allow foreign materials to enter the
crankcase.
Recommended oil:
Refer to the following chart for
selection of oils which are suited
to the atmospheric temperatures.
Recommended engine oil classi-
fication:

OIL PRESSURE INSPECTION
1. Check:
Oil pressure
Checking steps:
Slightly loosen the oil pressure check bolt

Start the engine and keep it idling until oil
starts to seep from the oil pressure check
bolt. If no oil comes out after one minute,
turn the engine off so it will not seize.
Check oil passages and oil pump for dam-
age or leakage.
Start the engine after solving the prob-
lem(s) and recheck the oil pressure.
Tighten the oil pressure check bolt.

PILOT AIR SCREW ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust:
Pilot air screw 1
Adjustment steps:
NOTE:
To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller throttle
opening, each machine’s pilot air screw has
been individually set at the factory. Before
adjusting the pilot air screw, turn it in fully
and count the number of turns. Record this
number as the factory-set number of turns
out.
Screw in the pilot air screw until it is lightly
seated.
Back out by the specified number of turns.
Pilot air screw:
2-1/2 ~ 3-1/2 turns out (example)
ENGINE IDLING SPEED ADJUSTMENT
