Trolling speed inspection
1. Inspect:
Trolling speed
Trolling speed:
1,550–1,750 r/min
Checking steps (watercraft in water):
Start the engine and allow it to warm up
for 15 minutes.

3. Measure:
Valve clearance
Out of specification →
Adjust.
Valve clearance (cold):
Intake valve:
0.11–0.20 mm
(0.0043–0.0079 in)
Exhaust valve:
0.25–0.34 mm
(0.0098–0.0134 in)
Measurement steps:
Turn the drive coupling counterclockwise,
and then check if cylinder #1 is at TDC of
the compression stroke with a dial gauge.
NOTE:
TDC of the compression stroke can be
found when the camshaft lobes are turned
away from each other.
Measure the valve clearance with a thick-
ness gauge 1
.
NOTE:
If the valve clearance is incorrect, record
the measured reading.
Measure the valve clearance in the follow-
ing sequence.
Valve clearance measuring sequence:
Cylinder #1
→ #2
→ #4
→ #3
ÈBow end
To measure the valve clearances of the
other cylinders, starting with cylinder #1
at TDC, turn the drive coupling counter-
clockwise as specified in the following
table.

NOTE:
The new valve pad number is only an
approximation. The valve clearance must
be measured again and the above steps
should be repeated if the measurement is
still incorrect.
Install the new valve pad 5
and the valve
lifter 6
.
NOTE:
Lubricate the valve pad with molybdenum
disulfide grease.
Lubricate the valve lifter with molybdenum
disulfide oil.
The valve lifter must turn smoothly when
rotated by hand.
Install the valve lifter and the valve pad in
the correct place.
Install the exhaust and intake camshafts,
timing chain, and camshaft caps.

Camshaft cap bolt:
10 N m (1.0 kgf m, 7.2 ft lb)
NOTE:
Refer to “Camshaft installation — CAM-
SHAFTS” in Chapter 5.
Lubricate the camshafts, camshaft lobes,
and camshaft journals.
Install the exhaust camshaft first.
Align the camshaft marks with the cam-
shaft cap marks.
Turn the crankshaft clockwise several full
turns to seat the parts.
Measure the valve clearance again.
If the valve clearance is still out of specifi-
cation, repeat all of the valve clearance
adjustment steps until the specified clear-
ance is obtained.

watercraft for proper water supply.
NOTE:
If the ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F)
or less, warm up the engine for an addi-
tional 5 minutes.
Remove the oil tank filler cap 1
