Chapter One General Information This detailed, comprehensive manual contains complete information covering maintenance, repair and overhaul. Hundreds of photos and drawings guide you throughout every procedure. Troubleshooting, tune-up, maintenance and repair are not d~fficul if you know what tools and equipment to use and what to do. Anyone not afiaid to get their hands dirty, of average in- telligence and with some mechanical ability can perform most of the procedures in this manual. See Chapter Two for more information on tools and techniques. A shop manual is a reference. You want to be able to find information quickly. Clymer books are designed with you in mind. All chapters are thumb tabbed and important items are indexed at the end of the manual. All procedures, tables, photos and instructions in this manual assume the reader may be worlung on the machine or using the manual for the first time. Keep the manual in a handy place in your tool- box or boat. It will help you to better understand how your boat runs, lower repair and maintenance costs and generally increase your enjoyment of your boat. MANUAL ORGANIZATION This chapter provides general information useful to boat owners and marine mechanics. Chapter Two discusses the tools and techniques for preventative maintenance, troubleshooting and repair. Chapter Three provides troubleshooting and testing procedures for all systems and individual components. Following chapters describe specific systems, providing disassembly, inspection, assembly and adjustment procedures in simple step-by- step form. Specifications concerning a specific system are included at the end of the appropriate chapter. www.manuals-n-more.com.au Chapter One General Information This detailed, comprehensive manual contains complete information covering maintenance, repair and overhaul.

CHAPTER ONE NOTES, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS The terms NOTE, CAUTION and WARNING have specific meanings in this manual. A NOTE provides additional information to make a step or procedure easier or more clear. Disregarding a NOTE could cause inconvenience, but would not cause damage or personal injury. A CAUTION emphasizes areas where equipment damage could cause permanent mechanical damage; however, personal injury is unlikely. A WARNING emphasizes areas where personal injury or even death could result from neg- ligence. Mechanical damage may also occur. WARNINGS must be taken seriously. In some cases, serious injury or death has resulted from disregarding similar warnings. TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS Torque specifications throughout this manual are given in foot-pounds (ft.-lb.), inch-pounds (in.-lb.) and newton meters (N-m.). Newton meters are being adopted in place of meter-kilograms (mkg) in accordance with the International Modernized Metric System. Ex- isting torque wrenches calibrated in meter-lulograms can be used by performing a simple conversion: move the decimal point one place to the right. For example, 4.7 mkg = 47 N-m. This conversion is accurate enough for most mechanical operations even though the ex- act mathematical conversion is 3.5 mkg = 34.3 N-m. ENGINE OPERATION All marine engines, whether two or four-stroke, gasoline or diesel, operate on the Otto cycle of intake, compression, power and exhaust phases. Wo-Stroke Cycle A two-stroke engine requires one crankshaft revolution (two strokes of the piston) to complete the Otto cycle. All engines covered in this manual are a two-stroke design. Figure 1 shows gasoline two-stroke engine operation. Four-Stroke Cycle A four-stroke engine requires two crankshaft revolutions (four strokes of the piston) to complete the Otto cycle. Figure 2 shows gasoline four-stroke engine operation. FASTENERS The material and design of the various fasteners used on marine equipment are carefully thought out and designed. Fastener design deter- mines the type of tool required to work with the fastener. Fastener material is carefully selected to decrease the possibility of physical failure or corrosion. See Galvanic Corrosion in this chapter for information on marine materials. Nuts, bolts and screws are manufactured in a wide range of thread patterns. To join a nut and bolt, the diameter of the bolt and the diameter of the hole in the nut must be the same. It is just as important that the threads are compatible. The easiest way to determine if fastenef threads are compatible is to turn the nut on the bolt, or bolt into its threaded opening, using fid- gers only. Be sure both pieces are clean. If much force is required, check the thread condition o t each fastener. If the thread condition is good byt the fasteners jam, the threads are not cornpati; ble.

A NOTE provides additional information to make a step or procedure easier or more clear. Disregarding a NOTE could cause inconvenience, but would not cause damage or personal injury. A CAUTION emphasizes areas where equipment damage could cause permanent mechanical damage; however, personal injury is unlikely. A WARNING emphasizes areas where personal injury or even death could result from neg- ligence. Mechanical damage may also occur. WARNINGS must be taken seriously. In some cases, serious injury or death has resulted from disregarding similar warnings. TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS Torque specifications throughout this manual are given in foot-pounds (ft.-lb.), inch-pounds (in.-lb.) and newton meters (Nem.). Newton meters are being adopted in place of meter-kilograms (mkg) in accordance with the International Modernized Metric System. Ex- isting torque wrenches calibrated in meter-kilograms can be used by performing a simple conversion: move the decimal point one place to the right. For example, 4.7 mkg = 47 N em. This conversion is accurate enough for most mechanical operations even though the ex- act matr~ematical conversion is 3.5 mkg = 34.3 Nem.

GENERAL INFORMATION 3 0 TWO-STROKE OPERATING PRINCIPLES I AS the piston travels down- I ward, it uncovers the exhaust port (A) allowing the exhaust gases to leave the cylinder. A fresh air-fuel charge, which has been compressed slightly in the crankcase, enters the cylinder throughsthe transfer port (B). Since this charge enters under pressure, it also helps to push out the exhaust gases. As the piston almost reaches the top of the travel, the spark plug fires, igniting the compressed air-fuel mixture. The piston continues to top dead center (TDC) and is pushed downward by the expanding gases. While the crankshaft continues to rotate, the piston moves upward, covering the transfer (B) and exhaust (A) ports. The piston compresses the new air-fuel mixture and creates a low-pressure area in the crancase at the same time. As the piston continues to travel, it uncovers the intake port (C). A fresh air-fuel charge from the carburetor (D) As the piston travels down, the exhaust gases leave the = - I cylinder and the complete cy- = - - cle starts all over again. www.manuals-n-more.com.au GENERAL INFORMATION TWO·STROKE OPERATING PRINCIPLES As the piston travels downward, it uncovers the exhaust port (A) allowing the exhaust gases to leave the cylinder.
