NOTE:
●
When the engine is cold, it needs to be
warmed up. For further information, see
page 38.
●
If the engine is warm and fails to start,
open the throttle slightly and try to start the
engine again. If the engine still fails to
start, see page 68.

Warming up engine
EMU27701
Electric start and prime start models
1.
After starting the engine, allow it to idle
for 3 minutes to warm up. Failure to do
so will shorten engine life.
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
lower case or the cooling water pilot hole
is blocked. Consult your Yamaha dealer if
the problem cannot be located and cor-
rected.

versa, first close the throttle so that the
