2006 Yamaha Outboard F6 F8 T8 Boat Motor Owners Manual

Maintenance
The spark plug is an important engine compo-
nent and is easy to  inspect. The condition of
the spark plug can  indicate something about
the condition of the engine. For example, if the
center electrode  porcelain is very white,  this
could indicate an intake air leak or carburetion
problem in that cylinder. Do not attempt to di-
agnose any problems yourself.  Instead, take
the outboard motor to a Yamaha dealer. You
should  periodically remove  and  inspect the
spark  plug because  heat  and  deposits  will
cause the  spark plug  to  slowly break  down
and erode. If electrode  erosion becomes ex-
cessive, or  if carbon and  other deposits  are
excessive, you should replace the spark plug
with another of the correct type.
Spark plug torque:
Nm (18.4 ft-lb) (2.55 kgf-m)
25.0
NOTE:
If a torque-wrench is  not available when you
are fitting a spark plug, a good estimate of the
correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past finger-
tight. Have the spark plug adjusted to the cor-
rect torque as soon as possible with a torque-
wrench.

Check for fuel leakage regularly.
If any fuel leakage is found, the fuel sys-
tem must be repaired by a qualified me-
chanic. Improper  repairs can  make the
outboard unsafe to operate.
Check the fuel lines  for leaks, crack, or  mal-
function. If a problem is  found, your Yamaha
dealer or other qualified mechanic should re-
pair it immediately.
