WARNING
Avoid fuel spillage and fire hazard. When removing the remote fuel
tank line from the engine connection, ensure that the primer bulb is
soft. If the primer bulb is hard, pressurized fuel will be sprayed in the
engine compartment.
7. With the primer bulb soft, remove the remote fuel line and fitting from
the water separating fuel filter.
8. Re‑install the fuel line to the water separating fuel filter.
IMPORTANT: The throttle must not be advanced until the engine idles
and runs smoothly and the water temperature has reached a minimum
of 54 °C (130 °F).
9. Attempt to start the engine by turning the key switch to the "START"
position for a maximum of 15 seconds or until the engine starts and
runs smoothly. Do not advance the throttle until the water
temperature has reached a minimum of 54 °C (130 °F).
10. Check the oil pressure gauge immediately after the engine starts. If
the oil pressure is not within the specified range, see
Specifications, stop the engine immediately, and determine cause.
11. Observe instrumentation to ensure that all systems are functioning.
12. After the engine has warmed up, check the water temperature gauge
to ensure that the engine temperature is not abnormally high. If it is,
stop the engine immediately and determine cause.
13. Inspect engine for fuel, oil, fluid, water and exhaust leaks.
14. Check steering system and shift/throttle control for proper operation.
