equipped. When properly done, the en-
gine will smoke excessively and almost
stall.
8. Remove the flushing attachment and
wipe off any excess water.

10. Drain the cooling water completely out of
the motor. Clean the body thoroughly.

Lubrication

1. Install the spark plug(s) and torque to
proper specification. For information on
spark plug installation, see page 94.
2. Change the gear oil. For instructions, see
page 99. Inspect the oil for the presence
of water that indicates a leaky seal. Seal
replacement should be performed by an
authorized Yamaha dealer prior to use.
3. Grease all grease fittings. For further de-
tails, see page 92.
TIP:
For long-term storage, fogging the engine
with oil is recommended. Contact your
Yamaha dealer for information about fogging
oil and procedures for your engine.
