SPECIAL PROCEDURES
Water In Carburetor
Once water gets into carburetor bowl, engine will not work properly. It may loose
power and suddenly stop when you depress throttle lever, or you may not be able to start the
engine. When it happens, drain carburetor and fuel water separator bottle. Use a screw driver
to loose the carburetor drain screw to drain the water or contaminated fuel in the carburetor
bowl. Drain contaminated fuel in the fuel water separator bottle by pulling off the hose from
the middle nipple of the bottle. Use a cup to collect the drained liquids. After cleaning,
ensure to tight the carburetor drain screw and reconnect the hose to the middle nipple of the
fuel water separator bottle.
Engine Overheating
CAUTION: If the information meter shows engine overheating, stop engine as soon as
possible.
• Check engine coolant. Refer to LIQUIDS.
• Check jet pump and drive shaft to see any weeds, shells or debris, and clean them. See the
following cleaning procedure.
• If engine still overheats, flush exhaust cooling system when back to shore, If engine still
overheats, refer to an authorized Aquanami dealer for servicing.
Jet Pump Water Intake and Impeller Cleaning
Weeds, shells or debris can get caught on the intake grate, drive shaft and/or
impeller. A clogged water intake may cause troubles such as:
• Cavitations: Engine speed is high but watercraft moves slowly due to reduced jet
thrust, jet pump components may be damaged.
• Overheating: Since the jet pump operation controls the flow of water to cool the
exhaust system, a clogged intake will cause the engine to overheat and damage engine
internal components.
