Remove the fuel tank from the boat for refueling. After refueling, install the cap and tighten it securely. Turn the vent knob clockwise to the CLOSED position, and return the fuel tank to the boat. Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Fill the tank to the SAFE FILL LEVEL line. To refuel, turn the vent knob counterclockwise to the OPEN position, and unscrew the fuel tank cap. 6. 7. 8. 9. R FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. Your outboard motor is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank. You may use regular unleaded parts of the fuel system. Engine damage or performance problems that result from using a fuel with percentages of Ethanol or Methanol greater than shown above are not covered under warranty. If your outboard will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis, please refer to the fuel section of the STORAGE chapter (p. 58 ) for additional information regarding fuel deterioration. Occasionally you may hear a light ‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinging’’ Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately. Never refill the fuel tank inside a building where gasoline fumes may reach flames or sparks. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc. Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental damage. Wipe up spills immediately. gasoline containing no more than 10 % Ethanol (E10) or 5% Methanol by volume. In addition, Methanol must contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Use of fuels with content of Ethanol or Methanol greater than shown above may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern. SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized Honda marine dealer. Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage. Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is misuse, and the Distributor’s Limited Warranty (p. 82 ) does not cover parts damaged by misuse. Fuel Filter Inspection and Replacement The fuel filter is located under the engine cover, on the right side of the engine. Water or sediment accumulation in the filter can cause loss of power or hard starting. To prevent engine malfunction, inspect the filter and replace when necessary. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately. ENGINE COVER LOCK LEVER UNLOCK 1. Unlock and remove the engine cover for access to the fuel pump filter. 2. Inspect the filter for water and/or sediment accumulation. If the filter is OK, reinstall it. If water and/or sediment are present, replace the filter as described in the following steps. Always replace the filter at the scheduled replacement interval (p. 40 ). SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR 3. Disconnect the fuel hose connector FUEL FILTER from the outboard motor, and FUEL HOSE place commercially available hose clips on the fuel hoses on each side of the filter to prevent fuel leakage when the fuel hoses are disconnected. HOSE CLAMPS FUEL HOSE 4. Remove the fuel hoses from the used filter, and discard the filter. To ease hose removal, release the hose clamps by squeezing the clamp ends together with pliers while pulling off the hoses. ARROW FUEL FILTER (Fuel Flow Direction) HOSE CLAMPS 5. Install the new filter on the fuel hoses, with the fuel flow arrow pointing toward the fuel pump as shown. Fuel flow will be impeded if the filter is installed backward. 6. Connect the fuel hoses to the fuel filter securely with the hose clamps. Remove the fuel hose clips used to close the fuel hoses. SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR 7. Securely connect the fuel hose connector to the outboard motor (refer to page 24 ). 8. Prime the engine using the priming bulb (p. 25 ). Check for fuel leaks. Repair any fuel leaks if necessary. 9. Install and lock the engine cover. If loss of power or hard starting are found to be caused by excessive water or sediment accumulation in the fuel filter, inspect the fuel tank. Clean the fuel tank and tank filter if necessary. It may be necessary to drain the fuel tank completely and refill with fresh gasoline.
