Always observe required scheduled maintenance activities as outlined. Never attempt to correct problems or repairs for which you are not qualified. At the end of this manual, you will find a list of qualified Kodiak marine service dealers to assist you in your area.
How to Use this Manual This manual contains instructions on the safe operation and preventive maintenance of your Kodiak marine engine. We urge you to read this manual prior to start up of the engine. The Table of Contents permits you to quickly open the manual to any section.
Parts and Service Replacement parts can be obtained through your local Kodiak engine dealer. Kodiak dealers are equipped to perform major and minor repairs. The dealer personnel are anxious to see that all of your maintenance and service needs are quickly and courteously completed.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT NOTE: A Check Engine or MIL light must be installed. If the Check Engine light is illuminated, it will remain on until the problem is corrected and the engine has gone through three consecutive warm up cycles, or if the light has been cleared by a service technician with a scan tool.
STARTING THE ENGINE Prior to starting the engine the following must be performed. 1. Check engine oil level. 2. Check for fuel leaks. 3. Run bilge blower for a minimum of 10 minutes. 4. Run bilge pump to remove any excess water, follow and repair any leaks. WARNING: The bilge can accumulate explosive fumes.
STOPPING THE ENGINE WARNING: The engine may continue to run after ignition is turned off, turn the ignition switch immediately to ON and allow the engine to idle until it has cooled enough to stop. WARNING: Avoid injury when checking a hot engine. Allow the engine to cool down before removing the heat exchanger cap.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: Neglecting proper maintenance can cause premature component failures. Initial Start Up Maintenance The initial start-up checks must be made before putting the engine into service. Please refer to the Maintenance Schedule on page 33 and perform the initial start-up operations in the sequence shown in column 1.
Adding Engine Oil It is normal to add some oil in the period of time between oil changes. The amount will vary with the severity of operation. When adding or replacing engine oil, be sure the oil meets or exceeds the recommended specification. CHANGING OIL AND FILTER NOTE: Use only Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic or equivalent motor oil.
Ensure the old filter gasket is removed prior to installing the new filter The Kodiak GM Powertrain engines use an AC Delco (or equivalent) oil filter as original equipment. An equivalent oil filter must be used when servicing the engine. See the Engine Specification on page 32 for the recommended oil filter for your engine.
COOLING SYSTEM WARNING: Never remove the heat exchanger cap under any condition while the engine is operating. Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage to the cooling system, engine, or cause personal injury. CAUTION: DO NOT add coolant to any engine that has become overheated until the engine cools.
Heat exchanger and Intercooler Plumbing Serpentine Belt Some GM Powertrain engines utilize serpentine belts on the front of the engine. This type of belt system incorporates a belt-tensioning device that keeps the belt adjusted to the proper tension. No manual adjustments are necessary. This belt should be checked routinely for cracks or ‘checking’...
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM CAUTION: Failure to change the fuel system filter as recommended can result in premature failure of fuel injection system components. WARNING: Use extreme care when changing the fuel filter. Gasoline is highly flammable and under pressure. It should not be exposed to open flame, sparks, or hot engine components.
FUEL PUMP SYSTEM ASSEMBLY Fuel filter The Fuel filter is used in the fuel supply line to the engine. This helps the prevention of contaminates from plugging the fuel injectors. The fuel filter is located in the supply line between the fuel tank, fuel pump and the engine. This filter protects the fuel injectors from debris in the fuel tank.
FUEL RECOMMENDATION WARNING: Use extreme care when changing the fuel filter. Gasoline is highly flammable and under pressure. It should not be exposed to open flame, sparks, or hot engine components. Allow the engine to cool to ambient temperature prior to changing fuel filters. WARNING: The bilge can accumulate explosive fumes.
IGNITION SYSTEM WARNING: High voltage ignition system. Electrical shock hazard. WARNING: The bilge can accumulate explosive fumes. The bilge fan will evacuate the fumes. The bilge pump must be run for a minimum of 10 minutes prior to cranking the engine. Type of Ignition System This engine is equipped with a distributor-less coil near plug ignition system Spark plugs...
STORAGE (Lay-Up)-One Month CAUTION: Make sure the water side of heat exchanger is drained when ambient temperature is below 32 Degrees F. 1. Start the engine 2. Treat upper cylinders by spraying recommended engine oil (SAE 10), or equivalent into the air intake for about two minutes. 3.
The following inspections shall be performed on your engine at the indicated intervals or more if needed. These inspections ensure that your engine will continue to perform at a level it was designed to. Make sure that all inspections are performed at their assigned intervals. 100 Hour Inspection WARNING: Make sure key is not in ignition and no electrical...

5. Check for oil, coolant, and fuel leaks, Correct any leaks prior to proceeding further. 6. Check charge and fluid level of battery. Inspect connections for corrosion, and clean as necessary. 7. Clean crankcase vent system PCV valve. 8. Check air cleaner Make sure that it is cleaned replaced as necessary. 9.
/ warning. These problems usually develop as a result of neglected periodic maintenance. Whenever engine performance appears less than normal in any area, you should consult with your KODIAK dealer immediately. Do not wait for a problem to develop. Careful attention to periodic/regular maintenance will prevent most problems.
DIAGNOSIS WARNING: Make sure there are no fuel leaks before going any further. Clean up any spills and always work in a well-ventilated area. WARNING: To avoid any electrical injuries always replace any broken wires before proceeding. WARNING: The bilge can accumulate explosive fumes. The bilge blower will evacuate the fumes.

Engine Cranks But Does Not Start CAUTION: Failure to change the fuel system filter as recommended can result in premature failure of fuel injection system components. WARNING: Use extreme care when changing the fuel filter. Gasoline is highly flammable and under pressure. It should not be exposed to open flame, sparks, or hot engine components.
Engine Runs Hot WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap under any condition while the engine is operating. Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage to the cooling system, engine, or cause personal injury. WARNING: The bilge can accumulate explosive fumes. The bilge fan will evacuate the fumes.
