Cleaning and adjusting the
spark plugs
The spark plug is an important engine
component and is easy to inspect. The con-
dition of the spark plug can indicate some-
thing about the condition of the engine. For
example, if one spark plug shows a distinctly
different color, the engine could be defec-
tive. Do not attempt to diagnose any prob-
lems yourself. Have a Yamaha dealer
service the watercraft.
Remove and inspect the spark plug peri-
odically; heat and deposits will cause the
spark plug to slowly break down and erode.
If electrode erosion becomes excessive, or if
carbon and other deposits are excessive,
replace the spark plug with the specified
plug.
Removing a spark plug:
1. Remove the air filter case cover and air
filter element. (See page 4-13 for air filter
removal and installation procedures.)
2. Remove the spark plug.
Measure the spark plug gap
a
with a
wire thickness gauge. Replace the spark
plugs or adjust the gap to specification if
necessary.
Specified spark plug: NGK CR9EB
Spark plug gap:
0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in)
