TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
5. Pour a teaspoon (5 - 10 cm
3
) of
engine oil into the spark plug hole,
and then pull the starter grip
several times to lubricate the inside
of the cylinder.
6. Reinstall the spark plug, and put
the emergency stop switch clip into
the emergency stop switch.
7. Attempt to start the engine. Be sure
the water level is at least 2 inches
(5 cm) above the antiventilation
plate.
If the engine fails to start, remove
the spark plug, clean and dry it,
then reinstall the spark plug and
attempt to start the engine again.
If the engine starts, and no
mechanical damage is evident,
continue to run the engine for a half
hour or longer. Be sure the water
level is at least 2 inches (5 cm)
above the antiventilation plate to
avoid overheating and water pump
damage.
8. As soon as possible, take the
outboard motor to an authorized
Honda Marine dealer for inspection
and service.
