TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
Running the outboard motor without
suf f icient cooling water will damage
the water pump and overheat the
engine.Pour a teaspoon of engine oil into
each spark plug hole, and then pull
the emergency starter rope several
times to lubricate the inside of the
cylinders.
Reinstall the spark plugs and
alternator cover, and put the
emergency stop switch clip into
the emergency stop switch.
Attempt to start the engine (be sure
the water level is at least 2 inches
above the antiventilation plate).
If the engine starts, and no
mechanical damage is evident,
continue to run the engine for a
half hour or longer. Be sure the
water level is at least 2 inches (5
cm) above the antiventilation plate
to avoid overheating and water
pump damage.
If the engine fails to start, remove
the spark plugs and dry them, then
reinstall the spark plugs and
attempt to start the engine again.
If you are changing the oil filter
while the outboard motor is out of
the water, use commercially
available ear muffs and water hose
to supply water.
As soon as possible, take the
outboard motor to an authorized
Honda Marine dealer for
inspection and service.
