spark plug because heat and deposits will
cause the spark plug to slowly break down
and erode. If electrode erosion becomes ex-
cessive, or if carbon and other deposits are
excessive, you should replace the spark plug
with another of the correct type.
Before fitting the spark plug, measure the
electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge;
adjust the gap to specification if necessary.
When fitting the plug, always clean the gasket
surface and use a new gasket. Wipe off any
dirt from the threads and screw in the spark
plug to the correct torque.
NOTE:
If a torque-wrench is not available when you
are fitting a spark plug, a good estimate of the
correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past finger-
tight. Have the spark plug adjusted to the cor-
rect torque as soon as possible with a torque-
wrench.

Checking fuel system
WARNING
EWM00060
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flam-
mable and explosive. Keep away from
sparks, cigarettes, flames, or other sourc-
es of ignition.
WARNING
EWM00910
Leaking fuel can result in fire or explosion.
●
Check for fuel leakage regularly.
●
If any fuel leakage is found, the fuel sys-
tem must be repaired by a qualified me-
chanic. Improper repairs can make the
outboard unsafe to operate.
Check the fuel lines for leaks, crack, or mal-
function. If a problem is found, your Yamaha
dealer or other qualified mechanic should re-
pair it immediately.
