Inspecting the oil injection 
system  

Check the oil injection system for leakage,

cracks, or malfunctions. If necessary, have a
Yamaha dealer repair the oil injection sys-
tem. 

Check: 

●

Oil tank for damage, cracks or leakage. 

●

Oil tank for water or dirt. 

●

Oil hose and joint for damage or cracks. 

●

Oil filter for dirt. 

●

Oil pump for leakage.

EJU01101 

Oil tank  

Check the oil tank for leakage or water in

the tank. If water is found in the oil injection
system or if the oil tank needs to be cleaned
have a Yamaha dealer service the water-
craft.

EJU01102 

Oil filter  

Check the oil filter 

1

 for dirt and clogs. If

the oil filter is clogged, remove it from the oil
tank together with the oil level sender and
clean it.
