OPERATION
59
10.Starting flooded engine ‑ Advance the fast idle lever or throttle
only feature to the maximum position. Without activating
primer, crank engine for 10 seconds. Wait 30 seconds and
repeat until engine starts. Immediately start to reduce engine
speed after engine starts.
11.After engine starts, check for a steady stream of water flowing
out of the water pump indicator hole.
IMPORTANT: If no water is coming out of the water pump
indicator hole, stop engine and check cooling water intake for
obstruction. No obstruction may indicate a water pump failure or
blockage in the cooling system. These conditions will cause the
engine to overheat. Have the outboard checked by your dealer.
Operating the engine while overheated will cause engine damage.
