A damaged insulator could allow external sparks, which could lead to explosion or fire. @ The spark plug is an important engine component and is easy to inspect. The condition of the spark plug can indicate something about the condition of the engine. For example, if the center electrode porcelain is very white, this could indicate an intake air leak or carburetion problem in that cylinder. Do not attempt to diagnose any problems yourself. Instead, take the outboard motor to a Yamaha dealer. You should periodically remove and inspect the spark plug because heat and deposits will cause the spark plug to slowly break down and erode. Improper assembly or replacement can result in a fuel leak, which could result in a fire or explosion hazard. @ EMU00374¯ Check the fuel filter periodically. The fuel filter is a one-piece, disposable type. If foreign matter is found in the filter, replace it. For replacement of the fuel filter, consult a Yamaha dealer. 4-16 E EMU00991 ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED WARNING @ G G Do not touch or remove electrical parts when starting or during operation. Keep hands, hair and clothes away from flywheel and other rotating parts while engine is running. @ CAUTION: @ This procedure must be performed while the outboard motor is in the water. A flushing attachment or test tank can be used. @ A diagnostic tachometer should be used for this procedure. 1) Start the engine and allow it to warm up fully in Neutral until it is running smoothly. If the outboard is mounted on a boat, be sure the boat is tightly moored. 2) Adjust the throttle stop-screw 1 to set the idling speed to specification (see "SPECIFICATIONS" on page 4-1) by turning the stop-screw clockwise to increase the idling speed, and turning it counterclockwise to decrease the idling speed. NOTE: Correct idling-speed adjustment is only possible if the engine is fully warmed-up. If not warmed up fully, the speed setting will tend to be too high. [. . . ] Normal deterioration.
