Inspecting idling speed
WARNING
EWM00450
Do not touch or remove electrical parts
when starting or during operation.
Keep hands, hair, and clothes away
from the flywheel and other rotating
parts while the engine is running.
2-hp models
: The propeller rotates
whenever the engine is running. Do not
move the throttle control lever from the
start position during warm-up. The boat
could unexpectedly start to move,
which could result in an accident.
CAUTION:
ECM00490
This procedure must be performed while
the outboard motor is in the water. A
flushing attachment or test tank can be
used.
A diagnostic tachometer should be used for
this procedure. Results may vary depending
on whether testing is conducted with the
flushing attachment, in a test tank, or with the
outboard motor in the water.
1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up
fully in neutral until it is running smooth-
ly.
2-hp model: Warm the engine with the
throttle in the start position or less. If the
outboard is mounted on a boat, be sure
the boat is tightly moored.
NOTE:
Correct idling speed inspection is only possi-
ble if the engine is fully warmed up. If not
warmed up fully, the idle speed will measure
higher than normal. If you have difficulty ver-
ifying the idle speed, or the idle speed re-
quires adjustment, consult a Yamaha dealer
