Operation
42
TIP:
It is not necessary to use the choke when
starting a warm engine.
6.
Turn the main switch to “
” (start) to
start the engine.
7.
Immediately after the engine starts, re-
lease the main switch and allow it to re-
turn to “
” (on). The remote choke
system stops operating when the main
switch is released.
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 mo-
tor is turned continuously for more
than 5 seconds, the battery will be
quickly discharged, thus making it im-
possible to start the engine. The start-
er can also be damaged. If the engine
will not start after 5 seconds of crank-
ing, return the main switch to “
”
(on), wait 10 seconds, then crank the
engine again.

8.
Return the neutral throttle lever to the
original position.
TIP:
When the engine is cold, for example, when
the ambient temperature is low in winter, it
needs to be warmed up. For further informa-
tion, see page 43.

Checks after starting engine
EMU36523
Cooling water
Check for a steady flow of water from the cool-
ing 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 passag-
es are frozen, it may take a while for water to
start flowing out of the pilot hole.
NOTICE
ECM01810
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.
