Inspecting Wiring And Connectors; Checking Propeller - Yamaha E60H Owner's Manual

used.
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.
(1) Start the engine and allow it to warm up
fully in neutral until it is running smooth-
ly.
(2) Once the engine has warmed up, verify
whether the idle speed is set to specifi-
cation. For idle speed specifications, see
page 11. If you have difficulty verifying
the idle speed, or the idle speed requires
adjustment, consult a Yamaha dealer or
other qualified mechanic.
