2004 Johnson 25 30 hp E EL 2-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:  Before  the  start-up  of  your  new
engine:
Read Engine Starting, Engine Stopping, and
Shifting and Speed Control.
WARNING
Perform prelaunch checks of all equipment.
If your  motor is  equipped with  a quick-dis-
connect fuel hose, disconnect  the fuel hose
from the motor and from the fuel tank when
the motor is  not being used for  a period of
time. Disconnecting the hose will avert fuel
leaks in the hose or at the engine.
Launch the boat and start the engine according
to the procedures in Engine Starting.
Verify  water  pump  operation  often.  Look  for  a
steady stream of water from the water pump indi-
cator. If the stream of water stops, shut off the en-
gine  to  prevent  damage.  Find  and  correct  the
cause, or see your DEALER before you continue.
Verify shift function by shifting into gear and ob-
serving that the boat moves and that the move-
ment is in the same direction as the shifter. Refer
to Shifting and Speed Control.
IMPORTANT: Fuel distribution hoses in the boat
must deliver fuel at the rate of flow needed by the
engine.  Minimum  inside  diameter  of  fuel   hoses
must be 5/16 in. (8 mm).
Fuel systems with built-in tanks, particularly those
that  include   antisiphon   valves  and   filter/primer
units, may have restrictions that will not allow the
engine fuel pump to deliver sufficient fuel under all
conditions. This can result in a loss of performance
and  possible  engine  damage.  If  a  performance
problem exists, see your DEALER.
•  Change the RPM  often. Avoid  holding a  throttle
setting longer than 15 minutes.
1. First 10 minutes of operation
engine in gear at fast idle only.
—  Operate  the
2. Next 50 minutes  —  Operate  engine   in   gear
below 3500 RPM.
DO NOT hold a constant throttle setting. Change
engine speed every 15 minutes.
With easy planing boats, use full throttle to quickly
accelerate  boat  onto  plane.  Immediately  reduce
throttle to one-half as soon as boat is on plane. BE
SURE boat remains on plane at this throttle setting.
To  avoid  difficulty  when  restarting, never  run the
engine with the fuel hose disconnected or run the
engine out of fuel.
BREAK-IN (10 HOURS)
3. Second Hour
—  Use full throttle to accelerate
IMPORTANT: Follow this procedure to protect your    boat  onto  plane,  then  reduce  throttle  setting  to
new outboard during its initial hours of operation.
Careful break-in allows internal engine components
to “seat” properly, resulting in maximum engine per-
formance.
three-quarters. BE SURE boat remains on plane at
this throttle setting.
At intervals, apply full throttle for periods of one to
two minutes, returning to three-quarters throttle for
a cooling period.
Failure to carefully follow the break-in procedures
can result in engine damage.
Change engine speed every 15 minutes.
During break-in, you must use extra oil. The fuel/oil
ratio for the first 10 hours of operation must be 25:1
(4% oil). The fuel/oil ratio during normal operation,
after break-in, must be 50:1 (2% oil).
4. Next Eight Hours
—  Avoid
continuous
full
throttle operation for extended periods.
Change engine speed every 15 minutes.
Perform the 10-Hour  break-in procedure with the      DO NOT exceed recommended maximum engine
