Verifications when the motor is on
Just after starting the motor, you should make sure that :
- after 5/10 seconds, water runs out from the cooling-water
pilot-holes. The indicator at the entrance of the circuit, provides only for the
proper operation of the pump and not for the circulation of water in the
head and in the cylinder. That means that possible shortages will not be
indicated.
If water does not flow from the pilot-holes check to see if the water-inlets
are blocked. Picture No. 60;
-
that you do not hear any strange noise;
- that the throttle-grip operates in a proper way;
- that the gear shift lever operates properly and that with the reverse
gear selected the motor does not tilt;
- that the engine stop switch operates properly;
