    GENERAL SERVICE INFORMATION BREAK-lN PROCEDURE CAUTION Failure to follow the Break-In Procedure in Owner’s Manual and special fuel mixture requirements for break-in may lead to serious engine damage and shortened engine life. To prevent serious engine damage and ensure long engine life, new engines, used engines with new powerhead, used engines with newly rebuilt powerhead, and engines coming out of storage must be run for a period of 10 hours in accordance with the break-in procedure.
  • Page 37: Tune-Up Procedure

    SECTION 2 Next Eight Hours (2 to 10 Hours) • Run engine at 3/4 throttle. • For short periods of time, run engine at full throttle and then reduce speed back to 3/4 throttle. As this part of the break-in period progresses, open to full throttle for longer and longer periods of time, but never longer than 5 minutes.
  • Page 38: Emergency Stop Switch And Lanyard

    GENERAL SERVICE INFORMATION 8. Adjust the engine ignition timing and carburetor. See Synchronization and Linkage Adjustments, this section. 9. Remove propeller and inspect propeller shaft oil seal for leakage. Inspect propeller, thrust washer, and other propeller shaft hardware for damage. Replace as needed. 10.
  • Page 39: Synchronization And Linkage Adjustments

    SECTION 2 Stop Switch Test 1. Attach the lanyard lock clip to the stop switch. 2. Start the engine. 3. With engine running, puII the lanyard to disengage the lock clip. Engine should stop running. NOTE The stop switch also operates as a push-button switch with the lanyard left attached.
  • Page 40 GENERAL SERVICE INFORMATION Twin Cylinder Engines A. 8/9.8 Engines Because of a unique multi-cylinder ignition system, timing of the ignition is only necessary when the powerhead is disassembled and reassembled.

  • Page 47: Anodes - Inspection And Testing

    SECTION 2 ANODES - INSPECTION AND TESTING Engines are equipped with several sacrificial anodes to help protect metal parts from the effects of galvanic corrosion (electrolysis). Disintegration of the anodes indicates they are performing their function. An anodes must be replaced when it has been reduced to 2/3 its original size (1/3 eroded).

  • Page 55 SECTION 3 T1103 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION There are two types of fuel systems, models 2.5 and 3.5 use a gravity fed fuel system. Models 5 through 40 have a fuel pump. 2.5 / 3.5 Fuel Flow Prior to starting, the air vent on fuel cap (1) and fuel cock (2) must be opened.
  • Page 56 FUEL SYSTEM T2047 5 - 40 Fuel Flow Upon engine startup, premixed fuel is drawn from fuel tank (1) by vacuum pressure on the suction side of the fuel pump through the fuel filter (2) and, into fuel pump (3). Fuel flows from the fuel pump into the carburetor float chamber (4).
  • Page 57: Fuel Pump

    SECTION 3 T1003 Fuel Pump The fuel pump may be integral with the carburetor or mounted on the side of the crankcase and contains one or more internal diaphragms (1). The diaphragms move in response to changing crankcase pressures (2) which draws fuel in (3) and pumps fuel out (4).
  • Page 58 FUEL SYSTEM T2048jp Under idling conditions, the mixture of fuel and air is mainly output from the pilot outlet. As throttle is increased, the negative pressure applied to the pilot system increases and allows more of the mixture to flow from the bypass. When the throttle is opened further, the increase of air causes a pressure drop which allows the main system to assume full control of fuel delivery.
  • Page 59 SECTION 3 Recirculating Recirculation hoses at the inlet manifold and crankcase recirculate unburned fuel for engine consumption. SEPARATE FUEL TANK Two types of separate fuel tanks are used. Smaller engines use the 3.1 gal [12 L] separate fuel tank. Larger engines use a 6.6 gal [25 L] separate fuel tank.
  • Page 60: Cleaning And Inspection

    FUEL SYSTEM FUEL HOSE AND PRIMER T1110 Separate fuel tanks are connected to the engines by a hose with a primer bulb. The primer bulb forces fuel into the carburetor float chamber for engine starting. Check valves on each side of the primer bulb maintain fuel flow, in one direction only, from the tank to the engine.
  • Page 61 SECTION 3 3. Inspect primer bulb and hoses for cracks and deterioration. 4. Inspect tank and engine quick connectors for damage and wear. Make sure check valves in quick disconnects open freely when pressed. 5. Inspect primer bulb check valves for damage. CAUTION New hose clamps must be used in assembly.
  • Page 62: Fuel Filter

    FUEL SYSTEM 3. Inspect overall condition of tank exterior and interior. Cracked or damaged tanks must be removed from service. 4. Inspect the cap (1) and gasket (2) for cracks, vent hole blockage or deterioration. 5. Inspect tank, fuel filter and fuel pump (if equipped) connections for cracks and damage.
  • Page 63 SECTION 3 ln-Line Fuel Filter Replacement NOTE In-line fuel filters cannot be serviced. Replace in-line fuel filters once a year or with each tune-up. When replacing an in-line fuel filter, note direction of fuel flow as indicated by the arrow on the filter housing for proper installation.
  • Page 64 FUEL SYSTEM FUEL PUMP CAUTION Before servicing the fuel pump, disconnect the fuel hose from the engine to prevent excessive fuel spillage. NOTE Fuel for the 2.5 and 3.5 engines is gravity fed to the carburetor. There is no fuel pump to be serviced on T1118 these engines.
  • Page 65 SECTION 3 T1119 T1120 NOTE Past production models 25, 30, and 40 contained an internal guide plate (7) and spring (8) assemblies under tension. The rubber diaphragm (9) that required the guide plate and spring has been replaced by a resin film (white opaque) diaphragm (10) which no longer requires the guide plate and spring.
  • Page 66 FUEL SYSTEM T1121 Inspection 1. Inspect pump body (1) for cracks. 2. Inspect check valves (2) for deformation. 3. Inspect pump covers (3) for cracks and surface deformation. 4. lnspect guide plate (4) and spring (5), if equipped, for deformation and tension. 5.

  • Page 76 FUEL SYSTEM Inspection CAUTION DO NOT inspect passages or holes with wire or similar materials. Doing so may scratch or enlarge jet holes and alter the fuel/air ratio. NOTE Before inspection, all carburetor components must be cleaned. All worn or damaged parts must be replaced.
  • Page 77 SECTION 3 6. Inspect gasket surfaces for damage. 7. Check throttle shaft and choke shaft assemblies for excessive play. inspect the butterfly valves for damage and smooth operation. lf assemblies are defective, the carburetor must be replaced. 8. Visually inspect the fuel fitting, carburetor cover, float chamber, drain screw, and all other screws and washers for damage.
