SECTION 3 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS WARNING Gasoline is extremely flammable and can readily explode if mishandled. Before performing any service work on the fuel system, read and understand Section 1 - Service Safety. Before servicing the fuel system, disable the engine ignition system to prevent accidental starting of engine.
Page 53
FUEL SYSTEM Mix Ratios CAUTION In addition to oil in the oil tank, a 50:1 gasoline/oil mixture is required during engine break-in. Refer to Break-In Procedure in Section 2. Automixing The gasoline/oil mixing ratio varies automatically between 50:1 (2% oil) and 120:1 (0.8% oil) according to throttle opening and engine speed.
SECTION 3 TROUBLESHOOTING The troubleshooting chart lists common engine symptoms related to problems with the fuel system. It also indicates specific malfunctions in the fuel system which may be causing the problem so it can be isolated more effectively. Before beginning major troubleshooting operations on the fuel system, perform the following operations: •...

SECTION 3 T1001 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION The following description of operation applies to fuel systems equipped with the oil automixing feature. Premix fuel systems operate in a similar manner but do not include a separate oil input circuit. Fuel Flow Upon engine startup, engine oil from oil tank (1) is drawn through oil filter (2) and into the oil pump.
Page 57
FUEL SYSTEM T1003 T1002 Oil Pump The oil pump is a plunger type mainly containing an internal worm gear driven by engine revolution, a spindle gear, and a cam shaft connected to engine throttle linkage. Fuel Pump The fuel pump is integral with the carburetor or mounted on the side of the crankcase and contains one or more internal diaphragms (1).
Page 58
SECTION 3 Pilot System The pilot system in the carburetor is a slow speed system consisting of the slow jet, slow air jet, pilot outlet, bypass, and pilot adjusting screw. At low throttle, mixed fuel (1) enters the carburetor and flows from carburetor float chamber (2) through passage (3) to slow jet (4).
FUEL SYSTEM FUEL TANK Water or dirt in the fuel tank can cause fuel starvation and engine problems. Clean and inspect fuel tank once a year or after long time storage (more than 3 months). Cleaning 1. Disconnect fuel line from fuel tank. 2.
FUEL LINE AND PRIMER CAUTION Model 115, 120, and 140 fuel line assembly is not same model 90, 70, 60, 50 and 40 one. NOTE Before complete disassembly of fuel line and primer, check for damage or blockage of fuel line quick disconnects at engine and fuel tank.
FUEL SYSTEM 4. Reassemble all components. NOTE Install primer so arrow points in direction of fuel flow. Use pliers to compress hose clamps to proper shape. FUEL AND OIL FILTERS The fuel and oil filter assemblies should be removed from the engine and serviced after engine break-in and after every 50 hours of operation (3 months).
Disassembly NOTE T1008 Models 40 and 50 are equipped with carburetor mounted fuel pump. Disconnect fuel hoses from pump, loosen the four mounting screws and remove pump. Gently separate the pump components and continue with Cleaning and Inspection procedures.
Page 63
1. Clean all pump components with mild solvent or isopropyl alcohol. 2. Clean pump mounting surface on carburetor with isopropyl alcohol (models 40 and 50). 3. Dry all components with low pressure compressed air. Ensure all passages are completely dry.
Page 64
SECTION 3 5. Inspect gasket between crankcase and fuel pump for dryness (crankcase-mounted pumps). 6. Verify pre-drilled pressure intake hole (1) exists in rear pump cover. Hole diameter must be 0.079 in [2 mm] (crankcase-mounted pumps) (115-140 only). Assembly 1. Install all check valves in pump body. 2.
FUEL SYSTEM AUTOMIXING SYSTEM Routine inspection of the oil automixing system should be performed once a season. Inspection 1. Inspect entire automixing circuit for leaks. Check all hose connections, clamps must be tight. Check for leakage from pump and between surface of pump and crankcase.

Page 69
FUEL SYSTEM 1. Clean all metal components using a mild aerosol solvent or isopropyl alcohol. Use a soft bristle brush to remove gummy deposits. Clean plastic parts with warm soapy water. 2. Dry all components with low pressure compressed air. When drying passages, direct the flow of air opposite the direction of fuel flow.
Page 70
Before proceeding, be sure all components are completely clean and dry and all replacement parts match the originals. NOTE Fully assemble bottom carburetor on models 40 and 50 before installing the fuel pump. 1. During assembly, replace all serviceable gaskets (1) and plugs (2) as illustrated.
Page 71
NOTE If float height is not correct, remove the float valve assembly and make minor adjustments by slightly bending the tabs on the float hinge clip. Models 40 T1037 and 50 cannot be adjusted. 4. Install new gasket on float chamber.
SECTION 3 Installation 1. Clean the carburetor mounting surfaces on the intake manifold with isopropyl alcohol. 2. Install new carburetor base gaskets dry. 3. Mount carburetors to intake manifold and torque to specification. 4. Install all fuel hoses and clamps. 5.
Page 74
SECTION 3 Assembly Components must be clean and all serviceable gaskets must be replaced. 1. Assemble the intake manifold components as illustrated: • Apply Loctite 242 to threads of reed valve assembly screws (1). • Install all gaskets dry. • Torque manifold bolts (2) evenly to specification. 2.

SECTION 4 T1160 T1161 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION The power head of this outboard motor is a two- stroke engine (or two-stroke cycle engine). The engine completes its one cycle operation including gas mixture suction, compression, explosion and exhaust while the crankshaft rotates once i. e. the piston moves upward and then downward (two strokes).
SECTION 4 RPM PERFORMANCE TEST NOTE Engines are equipped with RPM limiting function. If full throttle RPM values cannot be obtained, see RPM Limitation Test in Section 7. CAUTION Do not perform RPM test if engine shows signs of overheating. T1170 Perform this test with correct test propeller installed and with the engine in a test tank.
NOTE T1164 The overheat sensor is not standard equipment on model 40 prior to 1994 but is available as an option. Function Test 1. Disconnect the overheat sensor bullet connector at the electrical box and the ground wire.
SECTION 4 WATER PRESSURE SENSOR The water pressure sensor is a pressure-sensitive switch installed on the powerhead to monitor the forced water cooling system. The sensor is connected in series with the warning horn. If the sensor detects low water pressure at a predetermined RPM, contacts close and cause the warning horn to emit a continuous tone.
Page 87
POWERHEAD If tester indicates no continuity (switch open), loosen adjustment screw (4) just enough so the switch button does not make contact with the diaphragm pressure button. If still no continuity, replace the sensor assembly. 4. Disconnect the INPUT hose from the sensor fitting. Using a T-fitting (obtain locally), install a water pressure gauge between the sensor and the hose.
SECTION 4 THERMOSTAT Removal 1. Remove thermostat cap screws. Gently tap thermostat cap with rubber mallet to loosen and remove cap and gasket. Discard gasket. 2. Remove and inspect thermostat. NOTE Earlier 90, 115, 120 and 140 engines had a flat metal T1166 bypass valve with a spring and retainer.
