Checking Fuel Filter; Inspecting Idling Speed - Yamaha 6c Owner's Manual

Maintenance
erosion becomes excessive, or if carbon and
other deposits are excessive, you should re-
place the spark plug with another of the cor-
rect type.
1. Remove the spark plug caps from the
spark plugs.
2. Remove the spark plug. If electrode ero-
sion becomes excessive, or if carbon
and other deposits are excessive, you
should replace the spark plug with an-
other of the correct type. WARNING!
When removing or installing a spark
plug, be careful not to damage the in-
sulator. A damaged insulator could
allow external sparks, which could
lead to explosion or fire.
Standard spark plug:
BR7HS-10
3. Be sure to use the specified spark plug,
otherwise the engine may not operate
properly. Before fitting the spark plug,
measure the electrode gap with a wire
thickness gauge; adjust the gap to spec-
ification if necessary.
1. Spark plug gap
2. Spark plug I.D. mark (NGK)
3. Spark plug part number

TIP:
If a torque-wrench is not available when you
are fitting a spark plug, a good estimate of
the correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past fin-
ger-tight. Have the spark plug adjusted to the
correct torque as soon as possible with a
[EWM00561]
torque-wrench.

Check the fuel filter periodically. The fuel fil-
ter is a one piece, disposable type. If foreign
matter is found in the filter, replace it. For re-
placement of the fuel filter, consult your
Yamaha dealer.

When fitting the plug, wipe off any dirt
from the threads, and then screw it in to
the correct torque.
