Mixing fuel and oil
CAUTION:@ Avoid using any mixture of gasoline
and oil other than those designated.
Make sure gasoline and oil are thor-
oughly mixed in the correct ratio, oth-
erwise the following problems may
occur. Too little oil in the fuel mixing
ratio could result in major engine trou-
ble, such as seizure. Too much oil in
the fuel mixing ratio could result in
fouled spark plugs, smoky exhaust, or
heavy carbon deposits.
@
Pour 2-stroke engine oil 1 into a clean
container, and then add gasoline 2. To mix
them thoroughly, shake the container from
side to side.
Fuel mixing ratios (gasoline to oil)
Break-in period
(first two tankfuls): 25 : 1
After break-in: 50 : 1

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 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. 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.
Measure the spark plug gap a with a
wire thickness gauge before installing the
spark plug. Adjust the gap to specification if
necessary.
To reinstall spark plug:
1. Clean the gasket surface.
2. Wipe any dirt from the threads of the
spark plug.
3. Screw the spark plug to the correct
torque. Standard spark plug:
BR7HS
Spark plug gap:
0.6–0.7 mm (0.024–0.028 in)
Spark plug torque:
25 N·m (2.5 kgf·m, 18 ft·lb)

Submerged watercraft
If the watercraft is submerged or flooded
with water, follow the procedure below and
consult a Yamaha dealer as soon as possi-
ble. Failure to do so may result in serious
engine damage!
1. Beach the watercraft and remove the
hood. Turn the watercraft over far
enough to drain the water from the
engine compartment. Make sure all
water is thoroughly drained.
CAUTION:@ Turning the watercraft on its side with the
hood removed could cause damage to
the steering pole. Use two people to pro-
vide enough support to make sure that
the steering pole is not damaged.
@
2. Turn the watercraft upright again.
3. Turn the fuel cock knob to “OFF.”
4. Remove the spark plugs and dry them
with a cloth.
5. Without reinstalling the spark plugs,
crank the engine until all water in the cyl-
inders has been drained.
6. Install the spark plugs.
7. Turn the fuel cock knob to “ON.”
8. Launch the watercraft into the water, and
then run the engine for at least 10 min-
utes. If engine will not start, repeat steps
above.
9. Turn the engine off. Turn the fuel cock
knob to “OFF.”
10. Remove the silencer cap and spray a
rust inhibitor into the carburetor while
cranking the engine.
11. Have the watercraft inspected by a
Yamaha dealer as soon as possible.
