This is a comprehensive repair and tune-up manual for outboard motors. It is designed to be used' as a classroom text or mechanic's reference book, or it can be used by a boating enthusiast who is interested in keeping his engine in tip-top shape. A quick-starting and dependable engine can contribute to an enjoyable vacation; a balky engine can spoil the fun. This manual is organized about the conventional units of the outboard motor: the engine and the lower unit. Chapters are devoted to servicing the fuel and electrical systems. A separate chapter on engine tuning will enable the enthusiast to get all of the power from the engine that it was designed to deliver. A chapter on maintenance provides vital nontechnical information for fuel mixing and lubricating the units properly, to keep the engine operating dependably. The first chapter deals with troubleshooting. I t enables a mechanic to isolate trouble before beginning to disassemble the mechanism. It helps to pinpoint the trouble so that a mechanic will know what to look for as the unit is being disassembled. This feature can save valuable time when making repairs. This book contains comprehensive and accurate specification tables, wiring diagrams, and exploded views of all mechanical and electrical units. A special feature of this book is the use of many step-by-step illustrated instructions for representative types of carburetors, engines, and lower units. The illustrations and text are so closely correlated that no legends are needed. The illustrations have been especially treated to drop out the backgrounds. The author wishes to thank Messrs. Will Rush, Jack Carroll, Don Lideen, Bob Allman, and Paul Taylor for their kind assistance in helping to take the pictures and for furnishing technical information that has been used in this Guide. Especial thanks are due my wife, ANNA GLENN, for her devoted assistance in proof- reading the text. Harold T. Glenn

When the engine won't start, it is very important to Remove a spark plug to check its condition. A wet be able to run through an organized procedure in order spark plug means that the engine has been overchoked; to pinpoint the cause of the trouble. Bgsically, starting a dry spark plug means that no fuel is reaching the com- troubles can be localized to either the fuel system or the bustion chamber. If the carburetor fuel bowl is full, but ignition system. After isolating the trouble to the defec- the spark plug is dry, the carburetor jets may be plugged. tive system, go through the following suggested check If the spark plug is wet, go through the procedure list to determine the exact cause. for starting a flooded engine. Disconnect the fuel line or shut off the fuel supply completely, and then spin the flywheel several times to remove the excess fuel from the combustion chambers. Reconnect the fuel line, replace the spark plug, and then start the engine in the normal manner. FUEL SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING First make sure that there is gasoline in the tank. Sometimes the fuel supply burns up faster than you realize. On engines with a remote fuel tank, make sure that the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap is open, and then squeeze the priming bulb in the fuel line. When the carburetor float bowl is full of gasoline, pressure will be felt on the priming bulb. However, it is possible to force fuel past the needle and seat by additional pressure so that gasoline will flow out of the carburetor throat. CAUTION: The fuel will leak onto parts of the engine and could cause a fire. Make sure that all the gasoline is dried up before attempting to start the engine again. If the carburetor float bowl is dry, check the line for an obstruction. Do this by disconnecting the fuel line from the engine quick-disconnect fitting, and then de- pressing the check valve in the fuel line connection. Squeeze the bulb and fuel should come out of the line, if it is not obstructed. If the fuel line to the engine is clear, the trouble could be in the line to the fuel pump or to the carburetor, usually at the fuel line strainer. To check this out, disconnect the fuel line at the carburetor and see if you can force fuel through it by squeezing the priming bulb. CAUTION: When disconnecting a fuel line, use the proper wrenches, never a pair of pliers. CAUTION: When replacing a fuel line, don't tighten the nuts too much, especially on aluminum castings where the threads can be stripped rather easily. \ dl" A primer bulb is used to lift fuel from a remote gas tank in order to prime the carburetor. If the carburetor runs out of fuel, the fuel pump may be defective, but the engine can be run by using the primer bulb as a fuel pump.

FUEL SYSTEM 3 Some of the one-cylinder engine carbureton have a drain valve, which can be depressed to determine whether or not fuel is flowing to the carburetor. The drain valve should be depressed periodically to drain water and debris accumulations from the bowl. Check the fuel in the carburetor to see if water has gotten into it by catching a little of the gasoline in the palm of your hand. The water will appear as small beads or bubbles. If you blow on the mixture, the gasoline will evaporate, leaving the water behind. FUEL SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING CHART 1. No fuel in carburetor la. Empty gas tank I b. Clogged fuel filter Ic. Restricted vent in gas tank Id. Defective fuel pump The condition of the firing end of a spark plug can be used to determine the condition inside of the combustion chamber. This spark plug is running dry, meaning that the mixture is combustible and that the spark plug is doing its work well. To see if the he1 pump is working, disconnect the fuel line and direct its flow into a container. You should be able to determine the condition of the pump before the carburetor fuel bowl runs out of fuel. le. Main adjusting screw closed If. Clogged carburetor screen Ig.
