Operation

In temperatures of -5°C or less, leave the
choke knob pulled out fully for approximate-
ly 30 seconds after starting.
2. Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling water pilot hole.
CAUTION:
ECM00510
A flow of water from the hole on the ex-
haust cover shows that the water pump is
pumping water through the cooling pas-
sages. If water is not flowing out of the
hole at all times while the engine is run-
ning, overheating and serious damage
could occur. Stop the engine and check
whether the cooling water inlet on the low-
er case or the cooling water pilot hole is
blocked. Consult your Yamaha dealer if
the problem cannot be located and cor-
rected.
