F O RWA R D The Yamato model 302 is a 396cc / 24. 2 cubic inch stock racing engine. Like it's predecessors - the models 80, 102 and 202 - this motor was developed specifically for use in the multi-billion Yen parimutuel boat racing industry in Japan. These motors are required to run heats, day after day with perfect reliability at racing speeds.
As in most form of racing, there is risk which may bodily injury. The Yamato Motor Co. suggest that extreme caution be taken whenever you operate this motor and cannot be responsible or liable for any mishaps that may occur while operating this motor.
II OpERATION OF MOTOR II - 1 precaution prior to Starting Motor A. Check thumb screw handles to be sure it is tight. B. Check for oiI in gearcase. C. Check condition of high tension wires and spark plugs. Ensure it is firmly tightened. D.
For safety reasons, we suggest that the air idling screw be set all the way in and the throttle stop backed-off completely so that the motor will not continue to run if the driv- er is thrown out of the boat. Figure 1 Figure 2 II - 3 If Hull Fails to plane...
II - 6 Care of Motor After Use A. Wipe spilled gasoline with clean rag. B. Wipe water, around powerhead. C. If motor has been used in salt water, flush motor internally as well as externally with fresh water. CAUTION: Do not tip motor upside down. Water can enter the exhaust port and can cause serious damage.

m. Attach high tension wires to spark plug. GROUND spark plug. n. Pull starter pulley and check spark plug. Both plugs must be firing. o. Reassemble (except propeller), refuel and run motor, for 30 seconds at intermediate speed. p. Replace propeller. CAUTION : Remove spark plug wire when installing or removing propeller.
III DISASSEMBLY, INSpECTION AND REASSEMBLY III - 1 pOWER UNIT A. Disassembly 1. Remove magneto assembly (see magneto section). 2. It is not necessary to remove fuel tank. However, for the beginner, it will be easier to work without it. 3.
Inspection 1. Slight scratches on cylinder wall is permissible. Hone if necessary. 2. Replace piston rings if gap exceeds 0.812 mm (0. 032"). 3. To check crankshaft, remove all bearings. Place "V" blocks on surface plate. Support crankshaft ends on "V" blocks. Check by placing dial indicator on center bearing surface while turning crankshaft.

Figure 7 Figure 8 10. Be certain that exhaust pipe is flush with lower unit. See figure 9. 11. Torque cylinder head 20 ~ 24 Nm (200 ~ 250 kg cm / 14 ~ 18 ft lbs). See figure 10 for proper sequence. CAUTION: It is of utmost importance that all bolts and nuts be torqued as specified.
B. Reassemble in reverse order with following precaution. 1. Lubricate inside of coil plate assembly with grease. 2. Insure that flywheel key is seated properly. 3. Use clamp flywheel - special tool 102-809-0100 - when tightening flywheel. Tighten 54 ~ 63 Nm (550 ~ 650 Kg cm / 40 ~ 47 ft lbs). 4.
5. Remove spring plate (C-17). 6. Loosen holder (C-12). 7. Remove main needle (C-16) assembly. 8. Remove plugs (C-36, 28) and pilot screw (C-38). 9. Remove jet (C-27, 30, 31). 10. Clean body and all parts in clean solvent. 11. If extremely corroded or dirty, soaking in commercial carburettor cleaner is recom- mended.
III-4 GEAR CASE A. Disassembly 1. Using wrench, tail cap - special tool 102-801-3030 - loosen tail cap (G-31). CAUTION: LEFT HAND THREAD. 2. Remove tail cap and propeller shaft assembly by : a. Removing O-ring (G-39) b. Removing clip (G-38) c.
B. INSpECTION 1. When draining gear oil, check for water in gear case. If oil appears white, replace oil seals and O-ring. 2. Inspect gear for wear, pitting and full contact. If gears are not in full contact, shaft may be bent or shim adjustment is incorrect. 3.
