FUEL PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
Relieve the fuel pressure (page 5-66).
Remove the service check bolt and set the special tool
in the threaded bolt hole.
Disconnect the pressure regulator control tube [1] from
the pressure regulator and clamp the tube.
Remove the propeller (page 16-3).
Set the outboard motor gear case in a test tank filled
with water. Start the engine and measure the fuel
pressure at idle.
When the fuel pressure is out of the specified standard
pressure, check the following:
• When fuel pressure is higher than standard
pressure:
– Check fuel return hose and fuel line for clogging.
– Check the high pressure side fuel pump for proper
operation (page 5-99).
• When fuel pressure is lower than standard pressure:
– Check the pressure regulator for proper operation
(page 5-98)
– Check the high pressure side fuel pump for proper
operation (page 5-99).
– Check the high pressure side fuel strainer for an
obstruction.
– Check the fuel hose and fuel line for leaking (page
5-3).
After measuring fuel pressure, install the service check
bolt (page 5-66).
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when
handling fuel.
• Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
