WARNING
●
●
Do not touch or remove electrical parts
when starting or during operation.
Keep hands, hair, and clothes away
from the flywheel and other rotating
parts while the engine is running.
ECM00490
NOTICE
This procedure must be performed while
the outboard motor is in the water. A
flushing attachment or test tank can be
used.

Spark plug gap
Spark plug part number
Spark plug I.D. mark (NGK)
If the boat is not equipped with a tachometer
for the outboard motor, use a diagnostic ta-
chometer for this procedure. Results may
vary depending on whether testing is con-
ducted with the flushing attachment, in a test
tank, or with the outboard motor in the water.
Spark plug gap:
0.8–0.9
mm (0.031–0.035 in)
4.
When fitting the plug, wipe off any dirt
from the threads, and then screw it in to
the correct torque.
1.
Start the engine and allow it to warm up
fully in neutral until it is running smooth-
ly.
Spark plug torque:
F50TR 18.0 Nm (1.84 kgf-m, 13.3 ft-lb)
F60TR 18.0 Nm (1.84 kgf-m, 13.3 ft-lb)
F70A 17.0 Nm (1.73 kgf-m, 12.5 ft-lb)
T50TR 18.0 Nm (1.84 kgf-m, 13.3 ft-lb)
T60TR 18.0 Nm (1.84 kgf-m, 13.3 ft-lb)
2.
Once the engine has warmed up, verify
whether the idle speed is set to specifi-
cation. For idle speed specifications, see
page 14. If you have difficulty verifying
the idle speed, or the idle speed requires
adjustment, consult a Yamaha dealer or
other qualified mechanic.
TIP:
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 fin-
ger-tight. Have the spark plug adjusted to the
correct torque as soon as possible with a
torque-wrench.
