Operation
40
On remote controls equipped with a neutral
throttle lever, a good starting point is to lift
the lever just until you feel resistance, then
lift slightly more.
The neutral throttle lever or free accelerator
can only be used when the remote control
lever is in neutral.
5. Press in and hold the main switch to op-
erate the remote choke system. The re-
mote choke switch automatically returns
to its normal position when you release
your hand. Therefore keep the switch
pressed in.
It is not necessary to use the choke when
starting a warm engine.
Push in the main switch fully, or the remote
choke system will not operate.
6. Turn the main switch to “ ” (start),
and hold it for a maximum of 5 seconds.
7. Immediately after the engine starts, re-
lease the main switch and allow it to re-
turn to “ ” (on). NOTICE: Never turn
the main switch to “ ” (start) while
the engine is running. Do not keep the
starter motor turning for more than 5
seconds. If the starter motor is turned
continuously for more than 5 seconds,
the battery will be quickly discharged,
thus making it impossible to start the
engine. The starter can also be dam-
aged. If the engine will not start after 5
seconds of cranking, return the main
switch to “ ” (on), wait 10 seconds,
then crank the engine again.

Checks after starting engine

Cooling water
Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling water pilot hole. A continuous flow of
water from the pilot hole indicates that the
water pump is pumping water through the
cooling water passages. If the cooling water
passages are frozen, it may take a while for
water to start flowing out of the pilot hole.
ECM01811
If water is not flowing out of the pilot hole
at all times while the engine is running,
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 prob-
lem cannot be located and corrected.
