Inspecting the fuel system
WARNING@ Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. Failure to check for and repair any
fuel leakage could result in fire or explo-
sion. A fire or explosion can cause
severe injury or death. Shut off the
engine. Do not smoke. Avoid spilling
gasoline.
Fuel in hose is pressurized.
Fuel can spray out and cause injury or a
fire hazard if fuel line is disconnected.
Do not attempt to run engine with fuel
line disconnected.
@
Check the fuel system for leaks, cracks,
or malfunctions. If any problem is found,
consult a Yamaha dealer.
Check:

Fuel tank for water or dirt.

Fuel tank cap (seal) for damage.

Fuel tank for damage, cracks or leakage.

Fuel hose joint for leakage.

Fuel hose for cracks or other damage.

Air bleeding passages for leakage.
EJU18410
Fuel tank
Check the fuel tank 1 for leakage or
water in the tank. If water is found in the fuel
system or if the fuel tank needs to be
cleaned, have a Yamaha dealer service the
watercraft.

Adjusting the fuel injection
system
The fuel injection system was set at the
Yamaha factory. Have a Yamaha dealer ser-
vice the watercraft if necessary.
CAUTION:@ Do not attempt to adjust the fuel injection
system. If the settings are changed poor
engine performance and damage may
result.

Checking the trolling speed
1. Put the watercraft in the water.
2. Start the engine and warm it up. Use the
tachometer in the multifunction meter to
check the trolling speed.
If the trolling speed is out of specification,
have a Yamaha dealer make this adjust-
ment. Trolling speed: 1,600–1,700 r/min

Submerged watercraft
If the watercraft is submerged or flooded
with water, follow the procedure below and
consult a Yamaha dealer as soon as possi-
ble. Failure to do so may result in serious
engine damage!
In an emergency:
1. Beach the watercraft and remove the
stern drain plugs to drain the water from
the engine compartment. (See page 3-9
for further instructions.) Remove the
storage compartment drain plugs to
drain the water from the storage com-
partments.
2. Install the stern drain plugs and storage
compartment drain plugs.
3. Disconnect the spark plug caps, and
then remove the spark plugs.
CAUTION:@ Do not connect the spark plugs to the
spark plug caps.
@
4. Disconnect the fuel injector couplers.
CAUTION:@ Cover the disconnected fuel injector cou-
plers so that they do not get wet. If the
couplers get wet, they could corrode,
which could lead to poor connections.
@
5. Crank the engine for 5 seconds at wide
open throttle. Repeat this step until all of
the water in the cylinders has been
expelled.
6. Spray a rust inhibitor into each spark
plug hole for 5 seconds.
7. Crank the engine for 5 seconds at wide
open throttle. Repeat this step several
times.
