Gasoline is highly flammable. Keep gasoline and all flammable products away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Parts, lubricants, and sealants Use only genuine Yamaha parts, lubricants, and sealants or those recommended by Yamaha, when servicing or repairing the outboard motor.
Safety while working / Identification 6. Keep a supply of clean, lint-free cloths for wiping up spills, etc. Good working practices Special tools Use the recommended special tools to pro- tect parts from damage. Use the right tool in the right manner—do not improvise. 3.
L: 450101– Features and benefits Use of leaded gasoline New FT50C/F50D is designed for pleasure/light commercial use for all over the world. Therefore, engine components anti-corrosion and reliability has been increased while regular leaded gasoline is used. However, always use regular unleaded gasoline for longer engine life.
Identification / Features and benefits CDI unit with microcomputer The ignition system consists of a flywheel, stator, pulser coil, thermoswitch, oil pressure switch, CDI unit, and ignition coil. The CDI unit contains a built-in microcomputer that determines the ignition timing separately for acceleration and for normal operation, based on signals received from the pulser coil, thermoswitch, and oil pressure switch.
Higher class pinion and gears The lower unit of the new FT50C uses the same type of large gears that are used in the F100. The use of the same type of gears that are used in a higher class model provides ample durability, mak- ing it possible to accommodate a wider range of applications throughout the market.
To facilitate the starting of a cold engine, an air-fuel mixture that is richer than normal is required. For this reason, the Prime Start system has been adopted in the FT50C. In the Prime Start system, the thermo heater plunger is in a position that fully opens the fuel enrichment valve while the engine is being started.

Technical tips Carburetor operation 1. Idle and low-speed operation Since the vacuum at the venturi is low when the throttle valve is opened slightly, the main nozzle does not supply any air-fuel mixture to the engine. When the engine is operating at idle, the fuel that passes through the pilot jet and the air that passes through the pilot air jet mix, enabling the air-fuel mixture that has been regulated by the pilot screw to be fed through the pilot outlet.
Page 16
INFO General information 2. Medium speed operation When the throttle valve opens further, air-fuel mixture is fed from the pilot outlet and all the bypass holes. In addition, air-fuel mixture is also supplied from the main nozzle in accordance with the opening angle of the throttle valve.
Page 17
Technical tips 3. High-speed operation When the throttle valve approaches its fully open position, the fuel that has been regulated by the main jet and the air that has been regulated by the main air jet are mixed in the main nozzle. The resultant mixture is then sprayed by the main nozzle into the venturi.
INFO General information Acceleration pump The function of the acceleration pump is to ensure a smooth acceleration by preventing the air-fuel mixture from becoming temporarily lean in case the throttle valve is opened suddenly. When the throttle valve is opened suddenly, a large volume of air is introduced into the engine. However, because fuel is heavier than air, it is not possible to supply the volume of fuel that is necessary for the large volume of air that has been introduced.
Page 19
Technical tips Operation When the throttle is opened suddenly, diaphragm 1 (via the link that is connected to the throttle lever) operates to pressurize the air in the pump chamber. The pressurized air opens diaphragm 2, and becomes distributed to the carburetors by passing through the pipes that are connected to the carburetors.
INFO General information Ignition system In order to determine the optimal ignition timing that is necessary for the proper operation of the engine, the built-in microcomputer in the CDI unit detects the signals from various types of sensors and controls the ignition timing in accordance with a control map that is based on those signals. The microcomputer also effects controls to protect the engine against overheating, over-revolution, and oil pressure drops, as well as to control warning devices.
Page 21
Technical tips Pulser coil The pulser coil transmits the pulser signals, which are generated in the pulser coil in accordance with the rotation of the flywheel, to the CDI unit. Among the two protrusions that are provided for generating signals, one is used for cylinders #1 and #4, and the other for cylinders #2 and #3, thus enabling the pulser coil to simultaneously ignite two cylinders.

INFO General information Acceleration control This control is activated when the throttle valve is opened suddenly. If the engine speed increases more than the specified figures, the control of the ignition timing transfers to the acceleration map. Thereafter, the control of the ignition timing transfers gradually to the control map before accelera- tion.

INFO General information Trim-up function The gear pump pumps power trim and tilt fluid to the up-main valve. As a result, the fluid pressure opens the up-shuttle piston causing the fluid to flow into the lower part of the power trim and tilt cyl- inder.
Page 27
Technical tips Trim-down function When the power trim and tilt switch is pressed to “Down”, the motor turns the gear pump counter- clockwise and the power trim and tilt fluid flows in the opposite direction to that of the trim-up func- tion.

Page 29
Technical tips Tilt-down function When the power trim and tilt switch is pressed to “Down”, the motor turns the gear pump counter- clockwise, thus pumping the power trim and tilt fluid to the down-main valve. As a result, fluid pres- sure opens the down-main valve and the down-shuttle piston, which causes fluid to flow into the upper part of the trim cylinder and forces the tilt piston down.
Page 30
INFO General information Stopping condition When the power trim and tilt switch is not pushed (released), the gear pump does not pump the fluid, the up-main valve and the down-main valve are closed, and the power trim and tilt fluid pres- sure in the system remains constant.
