Warming up engine

EMU27680

Choke start models

1.After starting the engine, allow it to idle for 3 minutes to warm up. Failure to do so will shorten engine life. Gradually re- turn the choke knob to its home position as the engine warms up.

2.Check for a steady flow of water from the

cooling water pilot hole.

ECM00510

CAUTION:

A flow of water from the hole on the exhaust cover shows that the water pump is pumping water through the cooling pas- sages. If water is not flowing out of the hole at all times while the engine is run- ning, 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 problem cannot be located and cor- rected.
