EJU34379Checking the spark plugs
WARNING
EWJ00351
Be careful not to damage the insulator
when removing or installing a spark plug.
A damaged insulator could allow sparks to
escape, which could result in a fire or ex-
plosion.
Remove and check the condition of the spark
plugs.
The condition of a spark plug can indicate
something about the condition of the engine.
For example, if the center electrode portion is
very white, this could indicate an intake air
leak or carburetion problem in that cylinder.
Do not attempt to diagnose any problems
yourself. Have a Yamaha dealer service the
watercraft.
To remove a spark plug:
(1) Remove the hood. (See page 24 for hoodremoval and installation procedures.)
(2) Remove the spark plug cap.
(3) Remove the spark plug, and then check the condition of the spark plug and the
spark plug gap. If the electrode portion is
significantly discolored, if electrode ero-
sion becomes excessive, if carbon and
other deposits are excessive, or if the
spark plug gap is not within the specified
range, replace the spark plug.
TIP:
When the engine is operating normally, the
color of the spark plug electrode portion will
be a medium-to-light tan.
To install a spark plug:
(1) Wipe off any dirt from the threads, insu-lator, and gasket surface of the spark
plug.
(2) Install the spark plug, and then tighten it to the specified torque.
TIP:
If a torque wrench is not available when you
are installing a spark plug, a good estimate of
the correct torque is 1/4 turn to 1/2 turn past
finger tight using the spark plug wrench in-
cluded in the tool kit. Have the spark plug ad-
justed to the correct torque with a torque
wrench as soon as possible.

(3) Wipe off any water or dirt inside thespark plug cap.
(4) Install the spark plug cap by pushing it down until it is securely installed in its
original position.
(5) Securely install the hood in its original position.
EJU41181Lubrication points
Lubricate moving parts with water-resistant
grease. (See page 54 for information on the
main lubrication points.)
Intermediate housing
Fill the intermediate housing with water-resis-
tant grease through the grease nipple using a
grease gun.
EJU34226Checking the fuel filter
Check the fuel filter. The fuel filter should be
replaced if water or dirt is found in the filter. Have a Yamaha dealer replace the fuel filter if
necessary.
EJU34442Adjusting the choke cable
Check that the choke cable is properly ad-
justed.
To adjust the choke cable:
(1) Pull the choke knob out until it stops, and
then release the knob. The knob should
not move.
(2) If the choke knob moves back on its own, tighten the choke knob adjusting
nut slightly. If the knob is difficult to
move, loosen the adjusting nut slightly.

sary technical knowledge, poor engine
performance and damage may result.
The carburetor is a vital part of the engine and
requires very sophisticated adjustments.
Most adjustments should be left to a Yamaha
dealer who has the professional knowledge
and experience to make them.
However, the operator may adjust the engine
idling speed as part of the usual maintenance
routine.
EJU34472Adjusting the engine idling speed
(1) Place the watercraft in the water.
(2) Start the engine and warm it up for 1 to 2minutes.
(3) While using a diagnostic tachometer, turn the throttle stop screw to adjust the
engine idling speed to specification. Turn
the throttle stop screw clockwise to in-
crease the engine idling speed or coun-
terclockwise to decrease the engine
idling speed.

Emergency proceduresEJU34635Cleaning the jet intake and impeller
WARNING
EWJ00783
Before attempting to remove weeds or de-
bris from the jet intake or impeller area,
shut the engine off and remove the clip
from the engine shut-off switch. Severe in-
jury or death could result from coming in
contact with the rotating parts of the jet
pump.
If weeds or debris gets caught in the jet intake
or impeller, cavitation can occur, causing jet
thrust to decrease even though engine speed
rises. If this condition is allowed to continue,
the engine will overheat and may seize.
NOTICE: If weeds or debris gets caught in
the jet intake, do not operate the water-
craft above trolling speed until they have
been removed.
[ECJ00654]
If there is any sign that the jet intake or impel-
ler is clogged with weeds or debris, return to
shore and check the intake and impeller. Al- ways stop the engine before beaching the
watercraft.
(1) Place a suitable clean cloth or carpeting
underneath the watercraft to protect it
from abrasions and scratches. Turn the
watercraft on its side as shown.
NOTICE: Always turn the watercraft
over onto its port (left) side. When
turning the watercraft on its side, sup-
port the bow so that the handlebars
are not bent or damaged.
