Cooling water

Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling water pilot hole. A continuous flow of
water from the cooling water pilot hole shows
that the water pump is pumping water
through the cooling water passages.
TIP:
When the engine is started, there may be a
slight delay before water flows from the cool-
ing water pilot hole.

NOTICE
If water is not flowing out of the cooling
water pilot hole at all times while the en-
gine is running, 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 corrected.
